6/11/2026 Gerlach Empire CAB Meeting

The Washoe County Gerlach Empire Community Advisory Board (CAB) held a meeting on June 11, 2026, primarily focused on community updates and development plans. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a presentation on the Iverson Ranch Employee Housing project, which involves a development code amendment to increase housing density from one unit per 40 acres to one unit per five acres. The project includes plans for an RV park with 25-30 slips, up to six six-bedroom team houses, and related infrastructure such as water, wastewater, solar power, and fire protection systems. The developers are seeking a Special Use Permit (SUP) to proceed with these plans, including grading and relocation of outdoor storage. The project aims to address employee housing needs and reduce vehicle miles traveled, with environmental considerations such as natural landscaping and fire mitigation. The SUP is expected to be discussed further in August. Other agenda items included public safety updates, community engagement opportunities, and requests for service follow-ups. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
