Commission reestablishes long‑standing warehouse use at 2400 Valley Road with revised buffering condition
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit Nov. 5 to reestablish a nonconforming warehouse and distribution use at 2400 Valley Road (historic use since about 1955), modifying a prior wall condition to accommodate a new elevated utility pad and shortening the applicant’s building-permit submittal window.
The Reno Planning Commission on Nov. 5 approved a conditional use permit to reestablish a nonconforming warehouse and distribution use at 2400 Valley Road, a building historically used for the purpose since the 1950s.
Associate planner Leah Piccati told commissioners that the use had been previously approved in October 2023 but the earlier approval expired after the applicants did not meet conditions within the required timeframe. The current application makes a single substantive change to the earlier conditions: condition 11 was revised so the required screening/wall can be constructed behind a newly installed elevated utility pad, preserving the intent to mitigate noise and visual impacts while making the design feasible.
Dave Snelgrove of Beaumont Consulting said the applicant has engineering plans and worked with NV Energy on site access around the utility pad; he said revised wall plans will still provide sound attenuation near loading areas. Staff recommended approval and there was no public comment. Commissioners approved the permit unanimously.
