Commissioners approve two zoning map amendments for Mason Valley and Traditions commercial site
Summary
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a zoning map amendment for a 23.16-acre Mason Valley parcel to convert RR-20 zoning to a Title 15 agricultural (AG) district and approved a portion of two parcels near Highway 50 in Dayton to change to tourist commercial suburban (TC-S).
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 4 approved two separate zoning map amendments: one for a Mason Valley parcel to change from rural residential 20-acre zoning (RR-20) to the newer Title 15 agricultural (AG) district, and a second for a portion of parcels at the Highway 50 and Traditions Parkway intersection in Dayton to change from Title 10 general commercial (C-2) to Title 15 tourist commercial suburban (TC-S).
Senior planner Lisa Nash presented both applications. For Hunters Place LLC (PLZ-2025042), the applicant requested a change for a parcel at 1380 Highway 208 in Mason Valley, APN 012-421-01, totaling about 23.16 acres. Nash said the master plan designates the property as agricultural and that the AG district was created in 2020 to allow additional agriculture-compatible activities. The applicant indicated plans to continue lavender cultivation, add a small family farm store and potentially a wedding venue; many new commercial uses would require conditional-use permits. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval on Aug. 12. Commissioner Hockaday moved approval on the board; Commissioner Jacobson seconded. The motion passed, 5-0.
For Lucas Homes and Development LLC (PLZ-2025043), Nash described a zone change affecting a 5.21-acre portion of one parcel at 3000 Highway 50 and a 17.04-acre parcel in the west quadrant of that intersection (APN 016-401-97 and 029782-16). Nash said zoning to TC-S aligned with the previously approved Traditions Commercial Subdivision tentative plan (March 2024) that envisages tourist-related development including RV parks, hotels and associated amenities. Staff said an existing detention basin would be reconfigured and placed in separate ownership (homeowners association) following a boundary-line adjustment to preserve drainage capacity. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval on Aug. 12. Commissioner Hendricks moved approval and Commissioner Casanelli seconded. The motion passed, 5-0.
