The Washoe County Board of Adjustment held a meeting on August 6, 2026, during which several special use permits (SUPs) related to telecommunications facilities, water infrastructure, residential development, and commercial stables were reviewed and approved.

Additionally, the Board approved a special use permit for the Truckee Meadows Water Authority to replace an aging 2.5 million gallon water storage tank with two 1.25 million gallon tanks to enhance system reliability and redundancy. The Board also approved a special use permit for grading on steep slopes for a single-family home development and amended conditions for a commercial stable to allow an ADA-compliant portable restroom and extended compliance timelines. Motions to approve these permits and amendments were passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with the nomination and approval of Board leadership for the upcoming year.
