(Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org)

Staff Summary: Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) requires that every person doing business in the state under an assumed or fictitious name must file a certificate containing this information with the County Clerk. This certificate must be notarized unless the Board adopts an ordinance providing that the certificate may be filed without being notarized.

Local governments include provisions for reasonable accommodation consistent with the Act in their zoning codes. To allow for streamlined decision making and to protect privacy, staff is recommending that the Community Development Director have the authority to make a reasonable accommodation upon finding the request to be consistent with the Federal Fair Housing Act.
