The County is a large ranching and recreational territory served by transcontinental rail, highway and air transportation, and is rich in mineral resources as well as scenic attractions.
Gaming, tourism and recreational pursuits are expected to play a larger role in the future economy of the County. In addition, vast open lands are being subdivided in scattered locations throughout the County.
Because of these factors and Nevada Statutes chapter 278, it is necessary for this Zoning Ordinance to be in accordance with the County's Master Plan. The Zoning Ordinance is the expression of public policy so that all future development can be regulated:
(A) To lessen congestion in the streets;
(B) To secure safety from fire, panic and other danger;
(C) To promote health and general welfare;
(D) To provide adequate light and air;
(E) To prevent the overcrowding of land;
(F) To avoid undue concentration of population;
(G) To facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and (Ord. 1975-A, 3-5-75, eff. 4-1-75)
(H) To promote, provide and facilitate an attractive community. (Ord. 1993-U, 1-6-94, eff. 1-24-94)
