Board introduces first reading of ordinance amending nonconformance rules in county development code
Summary
The Washoe County Board conducted a first reading of Bill 19-32 to amend Chapter 110, Article 904 of the development code to clarify nonconforming uses and structures; the board introduced the ordinance and scheduled a later second reading.
The Washoe County Board of County Commissioners on June 24 introduced Bill 19-32, an ordinance that would amend Washoe County Code Chapter 110, Article 904 to revise and clarify provisions relating to nonconforming uses of land, nonconforming uses of structures, and nonconforming structures.
The item was presented as a first reading; staff did not provide an extended presentation at the meeting and there was no public comment on the ordinance during the first reading. Commissioner Andrea moved to introduce and conduct the first reading "as reflected in the proposed ordinance contained in attachment A." The motion carried as the board moved to schedule a second reading at a subsequent meeting.
The proposed changes, as described in the bill title, address how the county classifies and regulates existing uses or structures that do not conform to current zoning or development standards. Because this was a first reading, the board did not adopt new code language; further public review and a required second reading will occur before any ordinance becomes law.
