Title
Public hearing: Affirm or reverse the Planning Commission’s denial of Master Plan Amendment Case Number WMPA18-0006 and Regulatory Zone Amendment Case Number WRZA18-0006 for Marshall Ranch. Should the Board decide to reverse the denial, possible action to adopt the Master Plan and Regulatory Zone Amendments and, if adopted, authorize the Chair to sign the resolutions to that effect.
WMPA18-0006 seeks to adopt an amendment to the Washoe County Master Plan, Warm Springs Area Plan to change a Master Plan Category on three parcels totaling ±1,088.88-acres to Rural Residential; to establish a character management area (CMA) with a character statement and specific policies governing these properties; and to amend Policy 4.6 to allow Medium Density Rural within the CMA. The subject parcels were recently removed from the City of Reno’s Sphere of Influence, where they had a Reno Master Plan Category of Special Planning Area and which currently have a Washoe County Master Plan designation of Rural per Policy 1.2.16 and the translation table contained in Appendix 7 of the 2012 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan.
Subject to final approval of the associated Master Plan change and a finding of conformance with the 2012 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan, WRZA18-0006 seeks adoption of an amendment to the Warm Springs Regulatory Zone Map, changing the Regulatory Zone from General Rural (maximum density one dwelling unit per 40 acres) to Medium Density Rural (maximum density one dwelling unit per five acres) and Open Space (no allowable density). If approved, these changes would potentially allow for up to 187 dwelling units, compared to the 27 dwelling units allowed by the current regulatory zone
