Board of Adjustment | September 3, 2026

The Washoe County Board of Adjustment held a meeting on September 3, 2026, during which several special use permits and variances were discussed and approved. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a special use permit and variances for BRDR Properties LLC to develop employee housing and a 30-space RV park at Iveson Ranch, with conditions addressing grading, water rights, and septic system variances. The board approved variances excluding the pull-through parking spaces, which the applicant agreed to redesign. Another special use permit was approved for the Broken Hill Booster Pump Station project by Truckee Meadows Water Authority, including variances for landscaping and screening standards. Additionally, a special use permit was granted for grading on slopes exceeding 30% for a single-family residence at 1346 Scorpion Road. Lastly, the board approved a special use permit for the Fish Springs Ranch Energy Storage Project, a 75-megawatt battery energy storage system, including a variance to waive parking requirements due to minimal staffing. All approvals included conditions to ensure compliance with county codes and environmental considerations. No significant public opposition was noted, and the board expressed support for the projects' contributions to local infrastructure and housing needs.
