Administrative Hearing Examiner Meeting - March 31, 2026: Approval of ADU Permit at 12 Woodstock Circle
On March 31, 2026, at 1:30 PM, the Carson City Administrative Hearing Examiner convened in Conference Room A of the Community Development Department to conduct a public hearing on a single action item: an application for an administrative permit (LU 2026-0023) to allow construction of a 518-square-foot attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on property zoned Single Family One Acre at 12 Woodstock Circle.
Public Comments & Testimony
- A neighbor (name unclear from transcript, possibly "Clarify") expressed interest in the height of the proposed structure and was informed by the Hearing Examiner that the ADU would be single-story at 20.5 feet. The neighbor also asked about the overall home size; the Hearing Examiner clarified that only the ADU requires the administrative permit, while the primary residence (2,413 square feet) is allowed by code. The total square footage for the home and ADU is 2,931, with an additional 588-square-foot garage.
- Anthony Carlosco asked for clarification on which part of the floor plan represented the ADU and received confirmation that the ADU is located at the rear of the structure.
Discussion Items
- Application LU 2026-0023: The applicant's representative, Christopher Maltz of Parkville Engineering (representing SBM Architecture, LLC), confirmed he had reviewed the staff report and agreed with the conditions of approval. The Hearing Examiner noted that the ADU requires an administrative permit due to the zoning district, while the single-family home does not. No changes to the staff report were made.
Key Outcomes
- The Hearing Examiner approved the administrative permit (LU 2026-0023) based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report. No public opposition was recorded. The meeting was adjourned following final public comment.
