1. If the plan, as submitted for final approval, is not in substantial compliance with the plan as given tentative approval, the city or county shall, within 30 days of the date of the filing of the application for final approval, notify the landowner in writing, setting forth the particular ways in which the plan is not in substantial compliance.

2. The landowner may:

(a) Treat such notification as a denial of final approval;

(b) Refile his or her plan in a form which is in substantial compliance with the plan as tentatively approved; or

(c) File a written request with the city or county that it hold a public hearing on his or her application for final approval.

If the landowner elects the alternatives set out in paragraph (b) or (c) above, the landowner may refile his or her plan or file a request for a public hearing, as the case may be, on or before the last day of the time within which the landowner was authorized by the minutes granting tentative approval to file for final approval, or 30 days from the date he or she receives notice of such refusal, whichever is the later.

3. Any such public hearing shall be held within 30 days after request for the hearing is made by the landowner, and notice thereof shall be given and hearings shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in NRS 278A.480.

4. Within 20 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the city or county shall, by minute action, either grant final approval to the plan or deny final approval to the plan. The grant or denial of final approval of the plan shall, in cases arising under this section, contain the matters required with respect to an application for tentative approval by NRS 278A.500.
