Nevada Revised Statutes Title 21. Cities and Towns § 268.791. Creation in certain counties; petition; boundaries

1. If an incorporated city in a county whose population is 100,000 or more but less than 700,000 has exercised the power of redevelopment or urban renewal pursuant to chapter 279 of NRS, it may also create a district within the redevelopment area or the urban renewal area. The district need not include the entire redevelopment area or urban renewal area.

2. Creation of the district may be initiated by the filing of a petition signed by at least 10 percent of the owners of taxable property within the proposed district whose combined assessed value amounts to at least 25 percent of the total assessed value of taxable property within the proposed district. A signer need not be a resident of the State of Nevada and the signature of a corporation may be affixed by an authorized officer.

3. The petition must define the territory to be included in the proposed district by naming the streets which constitute its boundaries or stating that it is bounded by the rear lines of the parcels fronting on a specified side of certain named streets, or by a combination of these methods.
