In some cases, the overlay relaxes base zoning requirements (allowing more density near transit, for example); in other cases, it adds restrictions (like design review in historic districts).
Nevada sets the regulatory framework that governs how overlay district decisions are made at the county and municipal level. State statutes define zoning authority, hearing requirements, and appeal processes that directly affect overlay district outcomes in Clark County.
