The members of the planning commission are appointed by the chief executive officer of the city, or in the case of a county by the chair of the board of county commissioners, with the approval of the governing body. The members must not be members of the governing body of the city or county. The majority of the members of the county planning commission in any county whose population is 700,000 or more must reside within the unincorporated area of the county.

In Carson City, the members of the planning commission established as provided in NRS 278.030 are appointed by the Mayor from the city at large, with the approval of the Board of Supervisors.

3.

The governing body may provide for compensation to its planning commission in an amount of not more than $80 per meeting of the commission, with a total of not more than $400 per month, and may provide travel expenses and subsistence allowances for the members in the same amounts as are allowed for other officers and employees of the county or city.

4.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the term of each member is 4 years, or until his or her successor takes office. If applicable, the term of each member of a county or city planning commission in any county whose population is 700,000 or more is coterminous with the term of the member of the governing body who recommended the appointment to the appointing authority. If the recommending member resigns his or her office before the expiration of his or her term, the corresponding member of the planning commission may continue to serve until the office is next filled by election. If the office of the recommending member becomes vacant before the expiration of the term for any other reason, the corresponding member of the planning commission may continue to serve for the duration of the original term.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, members of a county or city planning commission may be removed, after public hearing, by a majority vote of the governing body for just cause. In a county whose population is 700,000 or more, members of a county or city planning commission serve at the pleasure of their appointing authority.

6.

Vacancies occurring otherwise than through the expiration of term must be filled for the unexpired term.
