Commissioners recommend adding trade and technical education to Heavy Industrial zoning as conditional use

Lyon County Board of County Commissioners · July 16, 2026

Summary

After a presentation on Title 15 Heavy Industrial zoning, the Board voted 5-0 to forward a recommendation that secondary trade and technical education be added under a Conditional Use Permit; the district attorney advised that staff must draft ordinance language for formal approval.

Community Development Director Gavin Henderson presented Title 15.320.03 (Heavy Industrial zoning) including permitted uses and potential changes. Public commenter Matthew Winterhawk voiced opposition to broad code changes and urged that any amendments be narrowly tailored to the stated intent.

Commissioner John Cassinelli moved to revise Title 15.320.03 to include secondary trade and technical education as uses allowed by Conditional Use Permit; District Attorney Steve Rye advised the motion could not itself enact a code change and that staff must return with precise ordinance language. The Board amended the motion to recommend staff draft the language and the recommendation passed 5-0.
