Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board Meeting - July 21, 2026

The City of Reno's Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board met on July 21, 2026, primarily to discuss a development proposal for a supportive housing community for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The project involves rezoning a 3-acre parcel to a specific plan district to allow for a mixed-use development including residential units capped at 90 and commercial amenities aimed at providing employment opportunities for residents. The board heard extensive public testimony from families and advocates emphasizing the need for such housing to support independent living and community integration for adults with disabilities. Planning staff and consultants detailed the zoning rationale, site layout, and community compatibility measures. The board encouraged public feedback ahead of the upcoming Planning Commission and City Council reviews. No formal votes on procurement or contracts were recorded, but the discussion centered on zoning approvals and community planning for this capital development project.
