We'll move on to the project review items.

6:06

Agenda item 7A today is WTPM 26-0003.

6:14

Salvador and Leonore.

6:17

And um I'm not sure which staff member we have with us today to to handle this.

6:24

Who's with us today for this?

6:25

I am thank you, Julie.

6:28

We have Julie with us today.

6:30

Julie, what can you tell us about?

6:31

I'm gonna share my screen.

6:44

So this is uh 10 um tentative uh parcel map for Salvador and Lenore.

6:51

Uh oops, oops.

6:52

Oh, sorry, going too fast.

6:54

It's to approve a tentative um parcel map to buy a 1.9 acre parcel into three parcels.

7:00

One's gonna be 0.4 acres.

7:02

Now there's one's gonna be 1.6 acres, and another one is proposed to be 4 um.44 acres.

7:11

Parcel is located out off of Sun Valley Boulevard on the left is sort of a farther out view, but then on the right is the close-up view of the parcel.

7:19

So it is sort of an odd shape parcel.

7:22

And what the applicant is asking is to um, oh, so the tender parcel map app they they they have the potential of creating five lots um on the lots they're creating.

7:35

That's not should not be three, but four.

7:37

And then wait a minute, is that gosh?

7:39

I'm sorry.

7:40

In three parcels, yes, that should be three there, and then um and then the the minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet, and they're proposed on the map.

7:52

The parcel one a is 17,520 square feet.

7:58

So here's the parcel and the layout is so this will be the one parcel down here, and then they'll have this parcel three.

8:06

So A1 is one parcel, A2 is this larger parcel here with the drive on it, and then A3 is this parcel to the um west.

8:19

Um the subject parcel is going to be developed with a single family house, and then several has several detached accessory buildings on it.

8:27

The required setbacks can be met, which are 20 feet in the front and rear and eight on the side, and the single family house that's located on a parcel A1 will meet all those um those setback requirements.

8:42

It is in the Sun Valley Area Plan, which has the following um policies concerning um 11.218.05 is concerning community water and sewer, and then section 110 um 218 point 25 is concerning new parcel um restrictions.

9:04

And the applicant is able to meet these policies and has indicated the water will be provided by Truckey Meadows and sewer by Washoe County.

9:15

Agencies have reviewed the applications and the agencies with conditions are included in the conditions of approval.

9:22

Staff is able to make all the finding required findings, and here is a possible motion.

9:28

I did reach out to the applicant.

9:30

Um I'm not sure if they have a um are uh uh joining us or not.

9:35

Um so I would ask Irena if anybody shows.

9:39

I'm available for any questions and um if the applicant's available, they can answer further questions.

9:47

Thank you, Julie.

9:48

Is the applicant here with us today, Irena?

9:54

I do not if you are the applicant.

9:58

I fear not.

10:01

Oh, we do have Larry here.

10:02

I'm gonna go ahead and allow them to speak.

10:09

Hello?

10:12

Who is it that's with us?

10:13

What was their name?

10:16

Larry Crew.

10:22

Larry Groove, are you interested?

10:24

On this item.

10:34

Okay.

10:36

We can we can try again in a moment.

10:39

Um any of the the um committee members have anything they'd like to ask of Julie.

10:50

I like to make this aware of.

10:54

Go ahead.

10:55

Put a shop.

11:01

Oh, Eric, this is Rob, I got a question.

11:03

Julie, is there access to each one of these parcels individually?

11:06

Or how's how do they so I did bring this map up so you can see um if you look cursor?

11:13

It says um 20 uh 20 foot access each right here.

11:17

So this area here they could access on and through, so it's that show.

11:23

No.

11:24

Is my sharing screen still there?

11:26

It's down there.

11:27

But I don't see your marker.

11:29

Um, see well, see the near see the part to the right that's I mean to the to the obvious to the right, the narrow, the narrow part on that section that says 20 foot um access easement.

11:40

So that easement travels through the whole parcel.

11:42

So all the parcels will have access off that easement, is my understanding.

11:47

All right.

11:47

Sorry, I guess or it's hard.

11:49

I know.

11:50

I'm very small.

11:52

Okay.

11:54

All right.

11:55

Okay.

11:55

As long as they have access.

11:57

They'll have access.

11:58

Yep.

11:58

Okay.

12:00

Any other committee members have any questions or concerns?

12:09

Okay.

12:11

Um, Julie, why is this not in the Sun Valley GID?

12:16

It's just south of that.

12:17

Um, scroll back up.

12:19

I talked to Timber.

12:21

It's just, it's just it's it's not for whatever reason.

12:25

I double checked with timber weiss and with water, and he said it's not in the GID.

12:31

So it's going to be covered by um Washoe County and Tumwa.

12:36

So West Street is just sweat, West Av is just north of it.

12:39

So it must be at West Av that they is the cutoff.

12:43

I'm not sure.

12:44

I don't know.

12:44

There's nobody from engineering here.

12:46

So, but it is somewhere.

12:48

This parcel doesn't make the cutoff for the GID.

12:52

Interesting.

12:53

Okay, can you put it back on the motion for us, please?

13:01

Oops.

13:03

Thank you, Julie.

13:06

Is anyone uh prepared to make a motion on this item?

13:16

This is West.

13:17

Um I move that after giving reason consideration to the information contained within the staff report and the information received during the public meeting that the Washoe County Parcel Map Review Committee approve parcel map case number WTPm26-003 for Salvador Hadilla and Lenore Falcon, subject to the conditions of approval included as exhibit A with the staffing board and make the determination that the following criteria is or will be adequately provided for pursuant to Washoe County Code Section 110.606.30.

13:52

Thank you, Wes.

13:54

We have a motion.

13:54

Do we have a second?

13:55

Rob, I'll second it.

13:57

Thank you.

13:58

I have a motion and a second.

14:00

All in favor.

14:01

Aye.

14:02

Aye.

14:02

Aye.

14:03

All opposed.

14:07

This parcel map passes unanimously.

14:09

Thank you very much.

14:11

We'll move on to item 7B.

14:14

WTPM26-000 or Placerville Road.

14:21

And I believe it's uh probably Jolene with us today for this.

14:26

Yes, thank you, Eric.

14:27

Okay, thank you, Jolene.

14:29

What can you tell us about this one?

14:31

Okay, let me take over screen sharing and I'll pull up the presentation.

14:49

Can everyone see my screen okay?

14:51

Yes.

14:53

Okay, great.

14:54

Jolene Bertetto, Washoe County Planning.

14:56

This presentation is for the project on Placerville Road.

15:01

So look at the background.

15:04

This is located at 10235 Placerville Road, which is located between Cold Springs and Lemon Valley in the North Valley's planning area.

15:16

It is a developed parcel with one dwelling unit and six detached accessory structures.

15:21

It is zoned as low density suburban.

15:26

The request that we're looking at today is to approve a tentative parcel map, dividing a 4.56 acre parcel into two parcels of 1.78 78 acres and 2.78 acres.

15:40

And here's a look at that site plan where the proposal is to divide them.

15:45

On the right would be parcel one, on the left, parcel two.

15:48

And you can see that they would both have access um off of the roadway.

15:55

In evaluating this proposal, um, we looked at zoning and maximum lot potential.

16:01

This will be divided into two lots where there is a potential for it to be into fives on the screen.

16:06

It shows the minimum lot width um required for this regulatory zone and shows that the tentative parcel map does meet all those requirements for that low density suburban regulatory zone.

16:22

Um so with that, staff recommends approval of the tentative parcel map.

16:26

We provide a possible motion.

16:31

And that is all.

16:32

So thank you.

16:33

And you'll notice my colleague Tim Evans is listed on this presentation.

16:37

Tim is the planner who evaluated the project and wrote the staff report.

16:43

Thank you, Joan.

16:44

Do any of the community members have questions on this application?

16:49

Yeah, this is Rob.

16:50

I do have one.

16:51

Um so they're gonna have individual septic systems, and then each parcel is gonna have to have a separate well also.

17:02

True.

17:05

But I am not sure if that would not end.

17:08

I don't know how else it would work.

17:10

Go back and look.

17:11

So they'd have to get water right, they got water rights for the new parcel.

17:16

So do you have to have water rights to get to put a well on a private property piece of property?

17:24

It's they're not it's it's they're not exactly technically water rights.

17:31

You have the right to a well, but they would have had to purchase those rights um in order to give them that.

17:39

Yeah, so in order in all of these parcel maps, you have to bring water rights to the table for all the new parcels that you create.

17:47

Because I know that if you have a parcel out in the Red Rock area, well, uh anywhere as far my understanding that if you want to build a house, you don't you can't sometimes you can't buy water rights, but you have to put a well in.

18:00

So what do you don't need if you need if you just have a parcel that that is in existence?

18:05

All right, it has the right to build to drill one well, drill a well for one domestic well.

18:12

Right.

18:13

Um, so all of those parcels out there that are vacant, they can drill a well.

18:21

But if somebody wants to split and create a new parcel, that new parcel doesn't have the right drip to drill a well because it doesn't have any water associated.

18:32

So but it's got new APN assigned to it.

18:35

Well, if I if I may somebody buys the water rights.

18:39

Okay, go ahead, but yeah.

18:41

You have to bring the water rights to the table, which is what this one did.

18:46

And what all of them have done is to bring the water rights to the table for however many new parcels you're creating.

18:54

And you're absolutely right.

18:55

Depending on what hydrographic basin you are in, you may not be able to acquire the rights necessary to split your parcel.

19:07

And if I may, just to provide a little bit of clarity, um, with that comment uh for you, Mr.

19:13

Pierce.

19:15

The technical answer is um the map would not get signed by Washoe County water resources unless they had sufficient water rights.

19:25

Meaning even after an approval of a map, it we by law cannot create a new parcel that cannot have a well.

19:35

So they would have to still obtain those water rights in order to be able to sign the parcel.

19:41

The same as if somebody um because I do have a couple of questions on this one.

19:46

I noticed we didn't get comments in, uh, which is okay, but I do have a couple of comments regarding to your septic point as well.

19:53

So in any basin, um, there are some specific basins that require water rights specific from the location.

20:02

There are others, and this is where Bahid and Timber are much smarter than myself in being able to explain that.

20:08

But I can tell you that there are a couple of areas of town where water rights are um either very difficult or almost next to impossible to obtain.

20:16

And it would be you could come in with a proposal for a parcel map all day long, but they'd never be able to obtain the water rights to do so.

20:23

Um and so that would be a detriment to some development.

20:28

In cases like this, if they can if they either already had sufficient water rights, they would designate two acre feet, one point whatever, 1.8 something or other to the new parcel, and that would be set aside for the creation of a new parcel, or they would have to obtain the necessary water rights to do that in order to create a new piece of land.

20:48

Um, because as a general rule, this is something Eric and I have worked on for years as a general rule.

20:55

Um neither the health department nor planning and engineering like to create parcels that are not buildable, meaning you have no use that could be associated with them because they could only be vacant land.

21:07

So hopefully that kind of provides an extra layer of clarity.

21:12

Um it is a process that is kind of separate and and part, but if if they've already provided them, they usually have them.

21:19

Sometimes they come through the meeting and they know they have to obtain them at the time of signing.

21:23

Just kind of depends financially at what point where anybody's at, because they have to designate that.

21:27

And it's like the supplemental documentation that we get when they submit for a signature.

21:34

And then I do have a question uh or comment for Jolene, if that's if I can move on from that one.

21:40

If that you can't try to try to figure it out in my head, that's what I had heard.

21:46

But then I see this.

21:47

I know that it's almost impossible to get water rights out here, and so I would just add a question on that.

21:52

So they may have already had that.

21:55

Right.

21:55

You're true, you're right.

21:56

They may, but I was just wondering, I just wanted to know if the rules change, just water makes sure double check.

22:01

So they have not.

22:02

No, sir, the the rules have not changed.

22:04

We also would not allow um the state technically could overrule this, but typically we will not approve a well on a different parcel than um the one serving the house.

22:17

So for example, let's say this well was actually way further to the west, and they wanted to put a part uh change the parcel line and cut off the well from the current house.

22:30

The map would not be allowed to be signed until they put in a new well to serve the house, and they'd have to cut the line from the old well.

22:38

And they'd have to have water rights to drill the new well, right?

22:42

In order to even in order to even get there, they would have to have water rights.

22:46

They'd have to demonstrate those to the state.

22:48

We'd have to have some conversations with the state to do an NOI to have two wells on one parcel until we got it split.

22:53

So, yes, it's a very convoluted process.

22:56

It can be done.

22:57

Uh, there's currently a property going through that same process if it is in the city arena.

23:01

Okay.

23:02

Great.

23:02

Okay.

23:03

Thank you.

23:03

So all right.

23:04

Julie, I have a very couple questions since we didn't get comments.

23:08

The app is the applicant.

23:11

Um, is the applicant aware that they will have to provide documentation from the surveyor of their primary septic system, their well, and where their repair will be meeting all current setbacks in order to move forward.

23:34

Is there?

23:34

I don't know.

23:36

No, there's not.

23:36

There's no infrastructure out here at all.

23:39

It's all it's all well and septics.

23:42

That's not what worms says, but I don't know about septic, but it says there's sewer located out there according to worms.

23:49

I just think I think it's wrong.

23:51

Um, no disrespect intended, but I live in this neighborhood, and there's nothing out here.

23:57

So that's why I was asking so many questions.

24:00

Nothing.

24:02

That's something we could confirm and make sure we do communicate with.

24:05

Well, the application should indicate what they plan to do.

24:11

Does the application say they intend to hook up to municipal?

24:16

It says individual septic.

24:18

Yeah, right.

24:19

That's what I thought.

24:20

That's what I thought too.

24:24

So um, Wes, is the language that you just um gave Jolene.

24:33

Is that typically written out as a condition?

24:37

It's typically in our letter.

24:39

Um, it would say that, you know, for signature of the mylar or final review of the mylar, the applicants required to demonstrate existing septic meets all current requirements for repair location and setbacks.

24:56

Because we can't create a new parcel line that's within the setback to an existing septic system.

25:00

So that would potentially create that parcel line having to move once they identify that.

25:06

Um yes, but that could still be in substantial conformance with this proposal and wouldn't need to necessarily come back to us.

25:13

So I think that is we can add that as a condition because you articulated it really clearly.

25:21

So I think that we can add that as a condition at this point.

25:27

And it's it's an extremely simple process.

25:29

They just have to provide the information and we ensure that it is accurate.

25:33

That's it.

25:33

It's a standard comment, and it's a standard practice for all parcel maps that are signed uh when we're talking about wells and septics.

25:41

Okay.

25:42

What's the let's clarify one thing?

25:45

I had the wrong APN number.

25:47

I was looking in the wrong location when I said there was sewer out there.

25:53

I get it.

25:54

Yeah.

25:56

It's easy.

25:57

It's easy to do.

26:00

Um, Eric, what would be the what would be the process for adding in that condition?

26:06

In the motion, one of us will include some language that indicates that the standard condition relative to verifying location of the existing subject.

26:18

Um it is an added condition.

26:22

It's uh when we get to that point, I will gladly handle that component for the group, provided that it appears that we are all on the same page in consensus with questions.

26:35

But to have you back, Wes.

26:36

We miss your motions.

26:38

I noticed you I had to pick up the last one.

26:41

28:44

28:45

Rob second.

28:47

Thank you, Rob.

28:48

We have a motion and second.

28:50

All in favor, aye.

28:51

Aye.

28:52

Aye.

28:52

Aye.

28:53

All opposed.

28:56

7B passes unanimously.

28:58

Thank you, everybody, for the discussion.

29:00

Let's move on to 7C.

29:04

WTPM 26-0005 turquoise solar.

29:10

Uh Jolene is back with us for this one as well.

29:14

Jolene, what can you tell us about this?

29:16

Yeah, thank you, Eric.

29:17

Give me one moment.

29:18

I'm going to transition to those other slides.

29:46

Okay, can everyone see my screen?

29:48

Yes.

29:49

Okay, Jolene Bertetta, Washa County Planning.

29:52

This presentation is for the merger and subdivision for turquoise solar.

30:00

This is a look at the subject parcels over on the map.

30:04

It's located at 21905 and 21575 technology parkway east in the Treky Canyon planning area.

30:14

It is a mixed regulatory zone.

30:16

It is a mix between industrial and general.

30:22

The request is to approve a tentative parcel map merging and then resubdividing those two parcels into three parcels of approximately 513.11 acres, 69.66 acres, and 8.48 acres.

30:40

And this is a look at those two existing parcels.

30:43

It is moderately sloped desert terrain with electrical transformers and solar panels.

30:49

D solar project was approved under a special use permit in 2015.

30:54

A portion of the lower parcel is leased by Turquoise Solar LLC to Liberty Utilities.

31:00

It's this portion, if you can see my cursor here in the middle of that lower parcel.

31:05

Turquoise Solar is intending to sell this portion to Liberty Utilities, which is why it's being proposed as a separate parcel.

31:13

So these are the two current parcels, and then we will look at the proposed map.

31:20

So it would be dividing it into three.

31:23

Parcel A is retained here at the top and would include these lower sections.

31:29

Then parcel B, which is the area that's currently being leased, is carved out in the middle, and then parcel C is at the bottom in this triangle shape.

31:39

And you will notice that along the side of it is a 60-foot wide uh road easement for access to all three of those parcels.

31:49

So it's a little hard to see this map.

31:55

The proposed zoning would keep that mixed zoning of industrial and general role.

32:03

They are proposing three lots, and the tentative parcel map does meet the minimum requirements for the industrial and general rural regulatory zones.

32:12

So the minimum lot size required for industrial is 10,000 square feet.

32:16

And you can see that this far exceeds that general rural is 40 acres.

32:21

And for that smaller parcel, only 2% of it is in general rural.

32:26

So it meets those requirements as well.

32:31

And with that stock recommends approval of the tentative parcel map and provides possible motion.

32:38

Thank you.

32:39

Thank you.

32:40

And I'll go ahead and just pull back up that map because usually that's where the questions are.

32:45

Do we have the applicant with us today?

32:48

What it looked like we do.

32:52

I'm gonna go ahead and allow Henka talk.

32:55

We have Matt.

32:58

Hi Matt.

32:59

Would you like to uh tell us anything about this?

33:02

Um I imagine uh we're at while I'm sitting for the um responsible charge land surveyor.

33:11

Um unless there's any specific questions, it pretty much um speaks for itself.

33:18

So I'll look insert any questions that I'm trying to see a bunch of familiar faces.

33:24

Thanks for being here, Matt.

33:26

Um, do any of our committee members have questions or concerns they'd like to bring up today?

33:36

Well, I see I I don't know if you had comments on this one either.

33:40

Did um health have anything to say about leading this out as its own parcel?

33:46

No, sir.

33:48

Okay.

33:51

Um, do you know if there is a separate parking agreement or parking idea?

34:06

Um was this individual parcel now going to provide parking for itself?

34:13

You know, I'm I'm I'm guessing that the parking for the entire project was originally settled.

34:18

Well, but now that this is going to be a separate parcel operated by somebody else.

34:24

I'm curious what their plans for bringing people out and having parking are do you know anything about that?

34:33

You know, I'm not aware of any parking uh the only vehicles I I can think of that would need to park out there would be repair vehicles on periodic basis.

34:46

To my knowledge, there's no uh permanently not having occupied buildings or anything like that.

34:56

You are covered.

34:57

Yeah, right.

34:57

Okay.

34:58

Really wants cover.

35:00

Um do you know if on this new parcel that the there is any parking provided for the overall project?

35:13

Where is the park?

35:14

The parking that was that's out there now.

35:16

Do you know where it is?

35:19

Um give me a second.

35:21

I can go shop to ALTA MS TS map that um we did not too long ago um to see the um I am not aware of any parking at a solar spine.

35:37

So um wondering what the special use permit told them they had to do, or that maybe the special use permit um exempted them from parking.

35:50

Well, it's always and now isn't that that's the place before uh the stops.

35:57

So let me see what I can find correctness.

35:59

You'll bear with me for a moment, please.

36:02

Sure.

36:02

And Eric, I did review the original special use permit, did not see mention of parking.

36:08

Oh, it's it's not legal.

36:10

Okay.

36:11

I believe the requirement would be one spot per employee during peak shift, but if it's an unmanned solar facility, then I'm I'm not sure if that's the required.

36:22

So there's no employees, yeah.

36:24

That's probably it.

36:26

Okay.

36:30

All right.

36:31

Well, thank you for the discussion.

36:34

Absolutely.

36:36

Um it looks like they're well.

36:45

Yeah, no, that's that's good.

36:47

I just um you know, sometimes a new owner might have plans, it might be I I don't know, maybe they're gonna put an office or something up there.

36:56

I'm just curious what they're if they're really basically just buying the power and send a repair truck out every now and then.

37:03

But um the overall issue, I think, Matt, maybe you want to make sure.

37:10

I think I mentioned this to Jolane at some point.

37:13

You want to make sure that the new owner is aware that there's a special use permit, and um has a copy of that special use permit and understands whatever whatever rules happen to be in it, the new owner should have.

37:28

Um so that that's um if you're able to pass that message along to the current owner, that would be people do a light.

37:39

Um yeah, so thank you.

37:45

Do we have any public comment on this, Irena?

37:48

You can do not have any public comment.

37:52

Thank you.

37:54

Then I'll bring it back to us for a motion.

37:56

Does anybody have a motion on this item?

38:00

This is Wade Handrack.

38:02

I move that after giving reason consideration to the information contained within the staff report and the information received during the public meeting that the Washoe County parcel map review committee approved parcel map case number WTPM 26-0005 for turquoise solar LLC, subject to the conditions of approval included as exhibit A with the staff report, make the determination that the following criteria is or will be adequately provided for pursuant to Washoe County Code Section 110.606.30E.

38:42

Thank you, Wayne.

38:44

We have a motion.

38:45

Do we have a second?

38:46

This is West Ruby OL second.

38:49

We have a motion and a couple of seconds.

38:51

Thank you so much.

38:53

I think the official second goes to Wes.

38:56

Um have any further discussion?

39:02

All right, I'll call for the vote.

39:04

All in favor, aye.

39:05

I all opposed 7C passes unanimously as well.

39:14

Thank you, everybody, for joining us on these.

39:17

Um, let's move to agenda item eight, reports and future agenda items.

39:22

So we never do anything fun here except for you know review these parcel maps.

39:28

Would anybody like to have um uh maybe give timber something to do and have timber come give us a little presentation on water rights and the different water availability and the different hydrographic basins and what's available out there and what's not, and how that all works, and we could advertise that and have the public come and listen to it if we wanted to.

39:52

Wouldn't it I think it'd be good for all of us to have that that um I think that'd be great.

40:00

That confidence that we know um that that um that issue when it comes to what we do.

40:07

Doesn't he normally come out on these if he has any questions?

40:13

Yes, but let's have him he he does, and but let's have him or Vahib Um and give us uh a little dog and pony about um how it actually works, timing of it, um water the difference between a water right and the and the right to drill a well, um, what's required uh uh to to fulfill one of these parcel.

40:38

Generally it's two acre feet for domestic wells.

40:42

That's how much you're allowed to do, but there's a difference between a right to dig a well and a water.

40:47

So let's have them come and talk to us.

40:52

I think real quick, I think one of the things you could add on that is what's the difference between commercial and domestic.

41:00

Um, because like the solar site, that would technically be commercial, so that's a different type of water right, and maybe um what their role is in the signature process as well.

41:12

That that that's that's great.

41:14

I'll I'll go talk to Timber about putting something together.

41:18

Yeah, that'd be great.

41:19

Is that B legal information on updates?

41:21

Do we have anything today?

41:24

Nothing for me today.

41:26

Thank you.

41:28

Do we have any public comment at the end of the meeting today, I read.

41:34

We do not have any public comment, but I did want to let uh the members know that there will be no pieces to be heard next month, July 2020.

41:43

Yeah, let's off.

41:45

Thank you.

41:46

I just have one thing, Eric.

41:48

If if you don't so I I don't know if you guys know or not, but my time up my time is up with the planning commission for four years.

41:57

And I just uh won the general or won the primary election for County Commissioner District 5.

42:03

So this might be my last meeting.

42:05

I don't know if uh they're gonna let me continue on as a planning commissioner for my second uh term or not.

42:12

That's yet to be determined.

42:14

Discussion Items

Item 7A: WTPM 26-0003 – Salvador and Leonore Falcon (Sun Valley Boulevard)

  • Staff member Julie presented a request to divide a 1.9‑acre parcel into three parcels (0.4, 1.6, and 0.44 acres) located off Sun Valley Boulevard. Water would be provided by Truckee Meadows, sewer by Washoe County. The required setbacks and Sun Valley Area Plan policies were met. Committee member Rob asked about access; Julie confirmed a 20‑foot access easement serves all parcels. One member noted the parcel is not in the Sun Valley GID; staff confirmed that it does not meet the GID cutoff. The applicant was not present.

Item 7B: WTPM 26-0004 – NVZLLC (Placerville Road)

  • Staff member Jolene Bertetto presented a request to divide a 4.56‑acre parcel into two parcels (1.78 and 2.78 acres) at 10235 Placerville Road, in the North Valleys planning area. The parcel is zoned low density suburban. Discussion centered on water rights and septic systems. Committee members clarified that new parcels require dedicated water rights; staff confirmed that the applicant must demonstrate sufficient water rights before the map can be signed. Member Rob expressed concern about the difficulty of obtaining water rights in that basin. Member Wes added a condition: the applicant must provide a surveyor‑verified location of the existing septic system, well, and future repair area meeting current Washoe County District Board of Health regulations. Motion by Wes Rubio with that added condition, seconded by Rob, passed unanimously.

Item 7C: WTPM 26-0005 – Turquoise Solar LLC (Technology Parkway East)

  • Staff member Jolene presented a request to merge and then subdivide two parcels (totaling about 591 acres) into three parcels (513.11, 69.66, and 8.48 acres) in the Truckee Canyon planning area. The land is zoned mixed industrial and general rural. The middle parcel (69.66 acres) is currently leased to Liberty Utilities and is proposed to be sold. Committee members asked about parking requirements; applicant representative Matt explained the facility is unmanned and no parking is needed. The committee recommended that the current owner inform the buyer of the existing special use permit. No public comment. Motion by Wayne Handrack to approve with conditions in Exhibit A, seconded by Wes Rubio, passed unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • All three parcel maps approved unanimously with conditions of approval as presented, plus the added condition for item 7B.
