Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting - March 17, 2026

The City of Reno's Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board meeting on March 17, 2026, focused primarily on local development and zoning issues. Key procurement-related discussions included a property side setback deviation request for a residential addition, a zoning map amendment proposal to rezone three vacant parcels to SF5 for a four-lot residential subdivision, and a conditional use permit application for an outdoor storage facility on an 8-acre parcel near the Truckee River. The board heard detailed presentations from property owners and developers, including architectural plans, neighborhood impact assessments, and compliance with city codes. Public comments expressed concerns about neighborhood character, traffic, access points, and environmental impacts. The outdoor storage project raised issues about required masonry walls, stormwater management, and screening to mitigate visual and environmental effects. The board noted that the outdoor storage permit application was premature due to outstanding engineering and planning questions, suggesting the applicant return with more complete information. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during the meeting, but the discussions highlighted ongoing planning and permitting processes that could lead to future procurement and construction activities.
