Summary

After a brief public hearing with no public comment, the council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 26-261U to extend a temporary moratorium on establishment or expansion of car washes within city limits for 10 months and 15 days while zoning regulations are reviewed.

The Carson City Council held a public hearing and adopted an interim urgency ordinance to extend a temporary moratorium on the establishment or expansion of car washes within the city while staff reviews and proposes permanent zoning regulations.

City staff confirmed the hearing notice and posting requirements had been met. No members of the public spoke on the item during the hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Sidrick Hicks read the ordinance language and moved its adoption: "Adopt Ordinance Number 26-261U … extending urgency ordinance number 25-21U … for an additional 10 months and 15 days and declaring the urgency thereof," he read. Councilmember Dear asked whether further extensions were allowed at the end of that time; staff confirmed an extension could be considered later if needed. The motion was seconded and recorded as carried.

The ordinance preserves the status quo while the city completes a review of zoning rules applicable to car washes, and provides staff time to draft permanent regulations.
