Fernley council approves master-plan amendment, rezones 109-acre parcel to industrial for Victory Logistics expansion
Summary
The council approved Resolution 26-007 and bill 381 to amend the master plan and rezone a 109.06-acre parcel from General Rural (GR20) to Industrial (I), advancing planned industrial development adjacent to the Victory Logistics area. The planning commission had unanimously recommended approval.
Fernley’s City Council approved a master-plan amendment and zoning map amendment on April 15, 2026, to change the land-use designation of a 109.06-acre parcel (parcel 021-031-13) from General Rural (GR20) to Industrial. The council’s action adopted Resolution 26-007 and associated bill 381 by unanimous vote.
Planning Director Michelle Rambo described the request as consistent with comprehensive-plan goals to direct new development where public services and infrastructure can be provided; staff said the site ties naturally to the adjacent Victory Logistics plan development and that the planning commission unanimously recommended approval. Applicant representatives from Bowman Consulting and MarkV Capital said the parcel is separated from most developable areas by I-80 and Bureau of Reclamation land, making the southern tie to Victory Logistics the primary access route.
Dave Snellgrove of Bowman Consulting, representing MarkV, and Scott Barnes, vice president for MarkV Capital, answered council questions about parcel location, compatibility with adjacent industrial PD zoning and the developer’s broader plans. Councilman Hannon moved to approve Resolution 26-007 and bill 381 associated with MPA260001 and ZMA260001; Councilwoman Zaberski seconded and the motion carried 4–0.
Staff noted required findings for master-plan amendments and zoning changes and that public notice was provided per code and NRS requirements. The change enables industrial development consistent with surrounding Victory Logistics plan development; specific site plan approvals, environmental permits and any industrial permits will follow the rezoning process.
Next steps: applicant may proceed with subsequent entitlements and permitting; staff will process follow-on site-specific approvals and any required state-level industrial permits (NDEP) for uses that trigger industrial permitting.
