Summary
The Washoe County Parcel Map Review Committee unanimously approved tentative parcel map WTPM25-0012 to split a 10-acre property at 0 Grass Valley Road (APN 07749009) into three HDR-zoned lots; staff recommended approval and the decision is subject to conditions in Exhibit A.
The Washoe County Parcel Map Review Committee unanimously approved tentative parcel map case WTPM25Dash0012 on Jan. 8, 2026, allowing a 10-acre parcel at 0 Grass Valley Road (APN 07749009) to be divided into three lots for applicant Brent Douglas.
Tim Evans, planner, presented the proposal and said it would divide the undeveloped 10-acre property in the Warm Springs planning area into three parcels ranging from about 3.33 to 3.34 acres. "The request before you today is to approve a tentative parcel map dividing a 10 acre parcel into 3 parcels," Evans said, adding the map meets minimum lot width and minimum lot size requirements for the High Density Rural (HDR) zoning and the Warm Springs planning area modifiers. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit A of the staff report.
Wes Rubio, identifying himself as a health-department representative, moved that "after giving reason consideration to the information contained within the staff report and the information received during the public meeting" the committee approve parcel map case WTPM25Dash0012 for Brent Douglas subject to the conditions in Exhibit A and a finding that required provisions will be adequately provided under Washoe County code section 110.606.30(e). Wayne Handrock seconded the motion. The committee voted in favor without recorded opposition and the motion passed unanimously.
Committee discussion before the vote was brief. The chair described the application as "one of the more straightforward" cases and reminded members that water rights are required for any new parcel, noting that applicants must secure appropriate water rights before creating new parcels.
Under the county's appeal procedure, parties who disagree with the committee's decision may contact planning staff at (775) 328-6100 to begin the written appeal process. Appeals must be filed with the Planning and Building Division within 10 calendar days from the date the decision is signed by the committee secretary, in accordance with Washoe County code.
The committee closed the item and moved on to reports and other business.
