Title
Public Hearing: Appeal of the Washoe County Planning Commission’s denial of Tentative Subdivision Map Case Number WTM24-001 (Sierra Reflections) and Special Use Permit Case Number WSUP25-0019 (Sierra Reflections Infrastructure) for a common open space tentative subdivision map for a 940-lot common open space development, with lots ranging in size from 2,876+/- square feet to 68,008+/- square feet. The project will include major grading of 3.6 million cubic yards of excavation, and 625,000 cubic yards of fill. This project meets the standard for a project of regional significance because it contains housing of more than 625 units, sewage use greater than 187,500 gallons per day, water usage greater than 625-acre feet per year, and traffic counts greater than an average of 6,250 trips daily; as such, any approval by Washoe County is provisional subject to the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission’s finding that the project is in conformance with the Truckee Meadows Regional Plan. The applicant also seeks approval of Special Use Permits for utility services (water tanks and two lift stations) and three bridge crossings over the Sensitive Stream Zone and Critical Stream Zone buffers for Steamboat Creek and Browns Creek. The applicant and appellant is World Properties, Inc. The proposed project is in the South Valleys Planning Area, to the west of old 395, south of Pagni Lane, between Pleasant Valley and Old Washoe City.
The property owner is World Properties Inc, the total acreage is 759.7 acres, and the APN’s associated with the proposed subdivision are: 046-080-40, 046-060-47, 046-060-45, 046-060-55, 046-090-26, 046-090-25, 046-090-24, 046-090-23, 046-090-18, 046-090-17, 046-090-16, 046-090-15, 046-090-14, 046-090-13, 046-090-12, 046-090-11, 046-090-10, 046-090-09, 046-090-08, 046-090-07, 046-090-06, 046-090-05, 046-090-04, 046-090-01, 046-100-07, 046-100-02, 046-100-03, 046-100-04, 046-100-10
