Commission approves Forsberg zoning change with conditions tied to future development
Summary
The commission approved application 24-2000-0016 to rezone Lynn R. and Penny K. Forsberg’s 40-acre parcel from open space to special lands to allow a split into two 10-acre-or-larger parcels, subject to deed language and development standards; staff noted a road dedication process and that the area is in an open water basin.
The Elko County Planning Commission approved application 24-2000-0016 to change zoning for property owned by Lynn R. and Penny K. Forsberg from open space to special lands, allowing the creation of two parcels of 10 acres or larger from an existing 40-acre parcel. Staff recommended approval with conditions similar to other special lands rezones.
Staff identified the parcel near Harrison Pass Road with access via Circle L Ranch Road, which bisects the parcel. Staff said the existing road access currently exists under a prescriptive right; the parcel map process will offer a right-of-way dedication for the roadway at the time of the parcel map, but the offer will be for right-of-way only and will not obligate the county for maintenance despite that portion of Circle L being maintained by the Elko County Road Department.
Staff also said the property is within an open water basin. Commissioners asked questions; no public opposition spoke at the hearing. A motion to approve the Forsberg zoning change with staff findings, conditions and recommendations passed on a voice vote recorded as "aye" with no opposition noted.
Ending: The permit was approved with the standard conditions and will proceed with the parcel map and required deed language at time of development.
