Reno City Council approves property sale to RTC, amends Title 18 and OKs zoning change
Summary
Assistant City Manager J.W. Hodge told the city podcast that the council agreed to sell city property to the Regional Transportation Commission to expand the Fourth Street Bus Station, approved a temporary exception to conditional use permit rules in Title 18 for indoor live entertainment in the entertainment core, and approved a zoning change on West Plumb Lane to increase residential density from three to five homes per acre.
Assistant City Manager J.W. Hodge summarized several actions the Reno City Council approved at its most recent meeting, saying the council agreed to sell a city-owned parcel between Lake Street, East Plaza Street, Evans Avenue and the railroad tracks to the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County to expand the Fourth Street Bus Station.
Hodge said the sale is for the “public purpose of expanding the Fourth Street Bus Station, which is one of the busiest.” He also said the council approved an ordinance amending Reno Municipal Code Title 18 to provide a temporary exception to conditional use permit regulations for indoor live entertainment within the city’s entertainment core.
The council approved a zoning change for property on West Plumb Lane in Ward 2 that increases the allowable residential density from three homes per acre to five to support a proposed housing development, Hodge said.
Hodge also previewed items that may appear at the next council meeting, including potential acceptance of a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant to fund a remodel at the Evelyn Mount Northeast Community Center in Ward 1 and potential approvals of sewer rehabilitation and lift-station improvement contracts for multiple wards. He noted the council schedule will include canvassing of votes during the June–July schedule changes.
The podcast provides an overview of council actions but did not include formal motion text, vendor names, or vote tallies; the official meeting record and staff reports at reno.gov/meetings list the formal motions, findings and votes.
