Statute of Limitations
a. Statute of Limitations. "We conclude
that 'filing of notice of the final action' under NRS 278.0235 is accomplished
when someone or some entity provides separate, written notice of the final action
to the secretary or clerk of the governing body, commission or board.
Further, although the statute does not expressly require
that notice be given to the applicant, to give effect to the statute of limitations
the applicant must be informed that notice of the final action was filed with
the clerk or secretary. Thus, any notice filed with the clerk or secretary should
also be forwarded to the applicant and should include the date on which the
notice was filed with the clerk or secretary. Because the record discloses no
filing of written notice of the final action with the Board's secretary in this
matter, it appears that the limitations period never began to run. Accordingly,
the district court did not err in concluding that respondents' action and proceeding
were timely filed under NRS 278.0235.
