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:
