Possible Changes to Agenda Order and Timing  
Discussion may be delayed on any item on this agenda, and items on this agenda may be taken out of order,  
combined with other items and discussed or voted on as a block, removed from the agenda, moved to the agenda  
of another later meeting or moved to or from the consent section. Items designated for a specified time will not  
be heard before that time but may be delayed beyond the specified time.  
Public Comment  
Public comments are welcomed during the public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting and  
during public hearing and planning items and are limited to three (3) minutes per person. Persons may not allocate  
unused time to other speakers.  
During the general public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting, speakers may address any  
matter either on or off the agenda, including items heard on the consent section of the agenda. For the remainder  
of the agenda, public comment will only be heard during public hearing and planning items and should be about  
the specific item being considered by the Board. If an item is continued, then public comment will not be heard for  
that item until the date of the continued hearing.  
Presentations and public comment for individual agenda items are limited as follows: fifteen minutes each for staff  
and applicant presentations and three minutes for individual speakers unless extended by questions from the  
Board or by action of the Chair. All comments are to be directed to the Board as a whole and not to one individual.  
Emails will be included in the record but will only be read aloud during the meeting subject to the chair’s discretion  
and if time permits.  
Public Participation  
Any public wishing to present printed materials at the hearing must bring six (6) printed copies. Any public wishing  
to show digital materials at the hearing (photos, presentation, etc.) must email the materials to Recording  
Secretary Adriana Albarran (email listed below) by 4:00 p.m. the business day immediately preceding the meeting.  
Please note that USB drives or any other digital media will not be accepted due to the risk of introducing viruses or  
malicious code, which could potentially compromise the County’s systems.  
Members of the public may submit public comment by either attending the meeting in person, attending the  
meeting via teleconference or attending by telephone only. To provide public comment via Zoom, log into the  
ZOOM webinar at the above link and utilize the “Raise Hand” feature during any public comment period. To  
provide public comment via telephone only, press *9 to “Raise Hand” and *6 to mute/unmute.  
Additionally, public comment can be submitted to 311 via the email listed below. The County will make reasonable  
efforts to send all email comments received by 4:00 p.m. on [WEEKDAY MM DD, YYYY] to the Committee members  
prior to the meeting.  
Responses to Public Comments  
The Board of Adjustment may deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an agenda properly  
posted prior to the meeting. The Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by  
the Board. However, responses from Board members to unlisted public comment topics could become  
deliberation on a matter without notice to the public. To avoid this situation and to ensure that the public has  
notice of all matters the Board will consider, members may choose not to respond to public comments, except to  
correct factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action, or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda.  
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business  
The Board of Adjustment conducts the business of Washoe County and its citizens during its meetings. The  
presiding officer may order the removal of any person whose statement or other conduct disrupts the orderly,  
efficient or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings against disruptive comments or behavior may or may not be  
given prior to removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be  
imposed upon the time, place and manner of speech. Irrelevant and unduly repetitious statements and personal  
attacks which antagonize or incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
