County approves master-plan amendment request; neighbors raise septic and access concerns
Summary
The commission approved a master-plan amendment for a Ventures MTG LLC parcel, changing a narrow strip from planned light industrial to ARCRD1; nearby residents asked for ARCRD2 or Special Lands designation, and staff explained Nevada Division of Environmental Protection septic-density limits that constrain lot sizes.
The commission approved a request to amend the master plan for a parcel in the Hamilton Stage area so a narrow strip now planned as light industrial matches the rest of the parcel's ARCRD1 (agricultural/residential conservation reserve) designation.
Applicant Dusty Ship said the amendment is a "clean change" to align the master plan before any future zone change; he told commissioners the developer does not intend to subdivide into 2.5-acre lots because septic constraints make that density infeasible. Nearby resident Marilyn Tipton urged the board to use ARCRD2 or Special Lands given adjacent five- and ten-acre parcels. Staff described Nevada Division of Environmental Protection density rules and estimated the practical buildable lots at roughly 7 lots (5–7 acres each) under current septic rules. Commissioners granted the master-plan amendment while noting public concerns about future access and the need for later site-specific design work.
