1. At least every 5 years, the regional planning coalition shall review the master plans, facilities plans and other similar plans that it receives pursuant to NRS 278.02549, and determine whether those plans are in substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan.
2. If the regional planning coalition determines that a plan reviewed pursuant to subsection 1 is not in substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan, the regional planning coalition shall return the plan to the submitting entity accompanied by recommendations regarding the manner in which the submitting entity may bring the plan into substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan.
3. Within 90 days after the date on which a submitting entity receives the plan and recommendations from the regional planning coalition pursuant to subsection 2, the submitting entity shall provide to the regional planning coalition a written response setting forth the:
(a) Manner in which the submitting entity changed the plan to be in substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan; or
(b) Reasons of the submitting entity for not bringing the plan into substantial conformance.
4. If the regional planning coalition determines that all the plans that a city or county is required to submit pursuant to NRS 278.02549 are in substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan, the regional planning coalition shall issue to the city or county a certificate or other indicia of that determination. Upon receipt of such a certificate or other indicia, the city or county, until the next time the regional planning coalition reviews the plans of the city or county pursuant to subsection 1, is entitled to establish its own policies and procedures with respect to regional planning, to the extent that those policies and procedures do not conflict with federal or state law.
5. The regional planning coalition may, within the limits of legislative appropriations and other available money, provide grants to a city or county if the regional planning coalition has issued to the city or county a certificate or other indicia pursuant to subsection 4 of the determination of the regional planning coalition that all the plans that the city or county is required to submit pursuant to NRS 278.02549 are in substantial conformance with the comprehensive regional policy plan. Grants provided to a city or county pursuant to this subsection must be expended by the city or county only to pay the costs of establishing, maintaining and carrying out programs related to land use planning.
