Commission approves conditional-use permit for future commercial camping on Sheep Camp Road
Summary
The commission approved a conditional-use permit allowing future development of commercial camping on a roughly 140-acre parcel at 35901 Sheep Camp Road submitted by Fred and Tammy Anderson and Dan and Yol Rolando; applicants were off-site and said initial use will be for family and friends with possible future limited public camping.
The Winnemucca Regional Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit to allow future development of commercial camping on a large parcel at 35901 Sheep Camp Road, an application submitted by Fred and Tammy Anderson and Dan and Yol Rolando.
Staff noted the applicants were on the property and not present at the hearing. Commissioners discussed that the initial plan appears to be limited to family and friends with possible future limited public use for hunters and that utilities and bathroom facilities would be required if the site were opened to the public. The parcel was described in the staff packet as approximately 140 acres and remote, with limited access and likely dry-county conditions.
One commissioner asked about hours and access, noting the application listed 12-hour access but that specifics were not firm. The commission moved and approved the conditional-use permit by voice vote.
Next steps: Applicants will need to secure utility connections and permits appropriate to any future use open to the public.
