11.10.2026 Planning Commission Meeting

Lyon County Planning Commission meeting, November 10, 2026: The commission recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners of NVLCO Lyon County LLC’s master plan amendment and conditional use permit for a compressed natural gas trucking station on approximately 10 acres within the 458.7-acre Silver Springs Technology Park. The proposed facility, to be operated by Certarus, would supply a Story County data center under a five-year arrangement and operate around the clock. The recommendation included conditions for 24/7 on-site security, monthly third-party noise testing, and no engine braking on county rights-of-way; other conditions addressed access-road improvements, fire protection, and operating impacts. The commission also discussed traffic, safety, noise, water for dust control, and community concerns. No contract award or purchasing decision was identified.

The commission approved a tentative parcel map for Vernon F. Brian Incorporated to create two parcels in Smith Valley, subject to 14 conditions (6–1 vote). It also recommended approval of Lyon County School District’s conditional use permit for a modular pre-K classroom at Riverview Elementary School in Dayton (7–0 vote). The meeting minutes were approved with a wording correction. These actions were land-use and development approvals rather than procurement activity.
