# Washoe County Planning Commission | November 9, 2026

The Washoe County Planning Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, considered Development Code Amendment WDCA26-00005, which would change public school facilities from an allowed use to a use requiring a special use permit and Board of Adjustment review. Staff said the change would align public-school review with the process for private schools and allow site-specific consideration of matters such as traffic, access, infrastructure, and safety. The Washoe County School District had submitted a letter of support; the State Public Charter School Authority was reported as not opposed. A representative of the Charter School Association of Nevada opposed the proposal and requested more engagement, saying the need for additional discretionary review had not been adequately demonstrated.

A commissioner moved to initiate the amendment, recommend approval, authorize the chair to sign the related resolutions, and direct staff to report the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners within 60 days. The transcript does not capture the motion’s second or vote outcome. No procurement, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified.
