Section 410.690 - Sign location: Controlled areas1. In accordance with NRS 410.220 to 410.410, inclusive, no off-premise outdoor advertising structure may be erected within the controlled area of the interstate or primary highway systems within this state without first obtaining a sign permit from the Department. For a controlled area: (a) Within the limits of urban areas which are designated in the latest national census report or as a populated area of more than 5,000 people with the boundary to be determined by the state and based upon the metropolitan plan area statistics, a sign permit is required for all signs visible from and capable of having their messages read from the main-traveled way of and located within 660 feet of the right-of-way for interstate and primary routes. The 660 feet must be measured perpendicular to the centerline of the main-traveled way and must be concentric with the right-of-way line.(b) Outside the limits of urban areas, defined in paragraph (a), a sign permit is required for all signs visible from and capable of having their messages read from the main-traveled way of interstate and primary routes. No sign may be erected beyond 660 feet from the right-of-way line of interstate and primary routes which was erected to be viewed from or have its message read from the main-traveled way of interstate and primary routes.2. A request to determine whether a sign will be visible from a controlled area must be made to the Department before the sign is constructed. The Department will inspect the site and advise the prospective holder of a permit whether the sign will be visible and capable of having its message read from the controlled area. If the holder of the permit constructs the sign after the Department has advised him or her that the sign will be visible from the controlled area, and the sign is later determined to be in violation of any provision of this chapter, the holder of the permit shall remove the sign within 30 days after receiving notice of the violation. The holder of the permit shall pay the cost of the removal.Nev. Admin. Code § 410.690
