Legislative Updates for Planning and Zoning
The 2025 Nevada State Regular Legislative Session considered a total of 601 Assembly Bills (“AB”), 508 Senate Bills (“SB”), and 28 joint resolutions, with much of the action occurring during the last week of the session, including a record 87 vetoes by Gov. Joe Lombardo. Highlighted here are a few of the enrolled bills affecting local government zoning and planning, which serve as the gatekeepers to commercial development.
AB241: Directed at expanding housing availability, this bill amends NRS Chapter 278, which governs local planning, to require that no later than March 1, 2026, each governing body adopt an ordinance authorizing by-right a multifamily housing or mixed-use development that includes residential use on property zoned for commercial use; industrial property does not fall within the scope of commercial use. The ordinance may establish the standards for doing this.
