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. Motion by Wes Rubio to approve with conditions in Exhibit A, seconded by Rob, passed unanimously.
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.
- Future agenda: The committee requested a presentation from staff (Timber or Vahib) on water rights, water availability across hydrographic basins, and the difference between domestic and commercial water rights, as well as their role in the map‑signature process.
- Next meeting: No parcel maps will be heard in July 2026.
- Committee member announcement: Member Rob Pierce announced his primary election win for County Commissioner District 5 and noted this might be his last meeting due to term limits. The committee congratulated him.
