Washoe County Board of Adjustment | May 7, 2026

The Washoe County Board of Adjustment held a meeting on May 7, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the extension of a special use permit (SUP) for the Burning Man Project. The project involves inoperable vehicle storage, light wholesaling, and major grading on a 360-acre property north of Gerlach. The Board considered a request to extend the SUP conditions to May 4, 2030, primarily due to ongoing water and wastewater management requirements, including securing water rights and deploying innovative wastewater treatment technology. The Board approved the four-year extension with added conditions to ensure compliance with water rights. Additionally, the Board approved administrative permits for two community events: a pancake breakfast hosted by the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and the League to Save Lake Tahoe's annual fashion show and luncheon. Both events were approved with standard conditions and no public opposition. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments and no further procurement actions.
