Planning commission recommends approval of Doty trust sending‑site; 229 transfer‑of‑development rights calculated
Summary
The Churchill County Planning Commission found the Doty properties meet county code and voted 5‑0 to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval of a conservation easement sending‑site that staff calculated at 229 TDRs for the 160‑acre parcel.
FALLON, Nev. — The Churchill County Planning Commission unanimously on April 8 recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve a sending‑site application for a 160‑acre property owned by the Robert and Tina Doty family trust, with staff calculating 229 transfer‑of‑development‑rights (TDRs) for the parcel.
Randy Hynes of Public Works Planning and Building told the commission the Doty property meets minimum requirements of Churchill County Code chapter 16.14 and that, "based on the transfer of development right calculations, the total TDRs for the property are 229." The parcels are identified at 9225 Pasture Road and Norcott Lane (APNs 0066‑111‑01 and 006‑111‑02).
The applicants, Robert and Tina Doty, attended and affirmed the application. Staff noted the owner requested the appraisal be done both with and without a home reservation so the owners could choose whether to reserve a home site on the property. There was no public comment opposing the recommendation during the hearing.
Commissioner Joe Frey moved to approve the application as submitted and recommend it to the Board of County Commissioners; the motion was seconded and passed 5‑0. The commission’s action is a recommendation; the final decision rests with the Board of County Commissioners.
Next steps: Staff will forward the application packet and minutes to the Board of County Commissioners for final consideration.
