Ward 1 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting - November 9, 2026

The City of Reno Ward 1 Neighborhood Advisory Board met on November 9, 2026. The board approved the agenda and its August 10 minutes unanimously, then reviewed development case LDC27-000040, an application for a master plan and zoning map amendment for a landscape contractor’s established business site. The applicant said the proposed specific plan district would align zoning across properties assembled over roughly 25 years, allow the business to continue operating and retain rental units, and set requirements for parking, landscaping buffers, and site operations. The board discussed neighboring residents’ safety, traffic visibility, existing code matters, parking, chemical and fuel storage/runoff, and fire review. The board took no action on the development application; a neighborhood meeting was planned before the December 3 Planning Commission meeting, with subsequent review by the City Council. No contract award, purchasing decision, budget allocation, or other procurement activity was identified.

During public comment, a board member urged consideration of a possible merger of the Reno Police Department and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office; the board took no action on that proposal. Other meeting business included staff announcements and board-member term and reapplication information.
