Summary of Proceedings

Carson City Administrative Hearing Examiner Meeting – August 7, 2026

The Administrative Hearing Examiner convened on August 7, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. in Conference Room A at 108 E. Proctor Street, Carson City, Nevada. The sole agenda item was a public hearing and decision on an administrative permit application (LU-2026-0093) for a 416-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on property zoned Single Family One Acre (SF1A) at 2482 Avery Road.

Public Comments & Testimony

Initial Public Comment: No members of the public spoke during the first public comment period.
Testimony on Agenda Item 3.A: Neighbor Kendall Howard expressed curiosity about the ADU, asking whether it would be rented out. The applicant, Bradley R. Pastor, responded that renting was not his intention; he described the structure as an RV garage with a bathroom and a small storage area, totaling 634 square feet. He stated his plan is to build the ADU, move into the shop portion, then redo the main house, and that the new structure will match the house (though the house design is not yet finalized).
Final Public Comment: No further public comment was offered before adjournment.

Discussion Items

Item 3.A – ADU Administrative Permit (LU-2026-0093): Staff planner Lena Reseck confirmed no changes to the staff report. The applicant, Bradley R. Pastor, stated he had read the staff report and agreed with the conditions of approval. The Hearing Examiner asked if there were any questions or additions; the applicant had none, noting the application seemed straightforward. Staff explained that an ADU is similar to a guest house, limited in size per code to 1,000 square feet or 50% of the primary living space (whichever is less), and the proposed 416 square feet complies. The neighbor's questions were addressed, and no further discussion ensued.

Key Outcomes

Decision: The Hearing Examiner approved the administrative permit (LU-2026-0093) based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained in the staff report. No vote tally was recorded as the hearing was conducted by a single examiner. The meeting was adjourned immediately after the decision.
