Nye County adopts Pleasant Valley development agreement; developer to contribute about $1.16 million for Kellogg Park

The Nye County Board of Commissioners on July 1 approved Nye County Bill 2025-05, adopting a development agreement with GPS Pleasant Valley LLC for the Pleasant Valley Unit 1 subdivision.

Steve Osborne, Nye County planning director, summarized changes from the prior draft, saying the developer must pay $1,164,000 — calculated at $4,000 per home unit — to fund improvements at Kellogg Park. The payments are phased and due prior to issuance of building permits for each phase, and the agreement also requires the developer to obtain certified water rights and to perform half‑street improvements to Homestead Road.

Tony Celeste, speaking for the applicant, said the redline changes were accepted and emphasized the community contributions. “We feel like we’ve negotiated a very fair development agreement that will provide not only the impact fees, but additional contributions,” Celeste said, adding the park payments are due with each phase’s first building permit.

Commissioners praised the negotiated park contribution and roadway commitment, and asked staff to confirm uses for the park funds. Commissioner questions about whether specific park amenities — including proposed pickleball courts and an ADA playground — would be funded by the agreement were answered by county staff, who said the Kellogg Park allocation will be used for those prioritized improvements.

The motion to adopt the bill passed unanimously; the board recorded the vote as 5–0. Staff will finalize the agreement language and return the executed documents to the clerk’s office.

What’s next: The development agreement is effective per its terms once fully executed; the payments will be collected in three installments tied to the three subdivision phases and must be paid before building permits are issued for each phase.
