2.

Before adopting a program of annexation pursuant to subsection 1, the city must hold one or more public hearings. Notice of the time and place of the hearing must be mailed to all owners of real property in the proposed program of annexation. At the public hearing the city shall consider:

Any other factors concerning any proposed annexation deemed appropriate for consideration by the governing body of the city.

3.

The city shall submit its program of annexation adopted pursuant to subsection 1 to the regional planning commission and the county in which the city is located for recommendations.

4.

The regional planning commission must certify that a program of annexation adopted pursuant to subsection 1 conforms with the comprehensive regional plan before the program is put into effect. The county or the city may appeal an adverse determination of the regional planning commission in the manner provided in subsections 3 and 4 of NRS 278.028.

5.

After certification of a program of annexation pursuant to subsection 4, any facilities plan, capital improvement program, development project or location of facilities by a county, a city, an annexation commission, a regional planning commission, the governing board or any other affected entity must be consistent with the certified program of annexation.
