Commission recommends city council approve code cleanup clarifying master-plan amendment votes

Fernley Planning Commission · July 10, 2025

Summary

The commission voted 7–0 to recommend council approval of Bill 361 (CA25001), a development-code cleanup that explicitly requires a supermajority planning commission vote before a master-plan amendment may go to council, aligning local code with NRS 278.210.

Planning Director Michelle Rambo asked the commission to recommend city council approval of Bill 361 (CA25001), a redlined cleanup to the development code intended to clarify voting requirements for master-plan amendments. Rambo said the change was prompted by questions raised during the Southwest Area Plan process and that the final paragraph now explicitly states a master-plan amendment cannot go to city council unless it receives a supermajority from the planning commission, aligning with NRS 278.210.

No public comment or further questions were raised. Commissioner Wagner moved to recommend council approval and a second was recorded; the commission voted 7–0 to forward the amendment to council. The planning director noted most revisions were capitalization and punctuation, and that the substantive change was the added clear language on supermajority voting.

Next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to the city council for consideration.
