1. A plan which has been given final approval by the city or county, must be certified without delay by the city or county and filed of record in the office of the appropriate county recorder before any development occurs in accordance with that plan. A county recorder shall not file for record any final plan unless it includes:

(a) A final map of the entire final plan or an identifiable phase of the final plan if required by the provisions of NRS 278.010 to 278.630, inclusive;

(b) The certifications required pursuant to NRS 116.2109; and

(c) The same certificates of approval as are required under NRS 278.377 or evidence that:

(1) The approvals were requested more than 30 days before the date on which the request for filing is made; and

(2) The agency has not refused its approval.

2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, after the plan is recorded, the zoning and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the land included in the plan cease to apply. If the development is completed in identifiable phases, then each phase can be recorded. The zoning and subdivision regulations cease to apply after the recordation of each phase to the extent necessary to allow development of that phase.

3. Pending completion of the planned unit development, or of the part that has been finally approved, no modification of the provisions of the plan, or any part finally approved, may be made, nor may it be impaired by any act of the city or county except with the consent of the landowner.

4. For the recording or filing of any final map, plat or plan, the county recorder shall collect a fee of $50 for the first sheet of the map, plat or plan plus $10 for each additional sheet. The fee must be deposited in the general fund of the county where it is collected.
