Section 410.725 - Unacceptable commercial or industrial zones: Determination of zones1. The Department will review any area zoned for commercial or industrial activity to determine if the zone appears to have been deliberately or inadvertently established to circumvent 23 U.S.C. Section 131.2. The Department will consider a commercial or industrial zone as unacceptable for the purpose of the exception in subsection 4 of NRS NRS 410.320 if: (a) A significant number of noncommercial or nonindustrial uses are allowed in the zone or by the zoning ordinance to the extent that the commercial or industrial character of the zone is or would be obscured;(b) The zone consists of a large area which is remote and unpopulated and has little or no commercial or industrial activity;(c) The zone consists of a long narrow strip or strips along significant portions of highway frontage within which the existing developments do not support the commercial or industrial classification; or(d) The zone is not part of a comprehensive plan of zoning but appears to have been the result of spot zoning whose primary purpose was to allow the erection or continued existence of an outdoor advertising sign.3. The Department will include in its review:(a) The zoning ordinance enacted by the appropriate local authority;(b) The minutes of the planning commission's and county commission's meetings at which the requests for the zoning or rezoning were discussed, in order to ascertain the purpose of the zoning or rezoning; and(c) The area encompassed by the zone and the extent and nature of commercial and industrial activity in the zone.Nev.
