Carson City Master Plan

Review Draft: August 2024

Over the past nine months, City staff, members of the Planning Commission, and the project team have conducted extensive outreach to help inform the updated Master Plan. This draft reflects the results of that input as as starting point for further discussion. Following an initial round of input from Carson City elected and appointed officials, departments, and the community at large, the draft will be refined and "packaged" to include photos, graphics, and maps to help illustrate key concepts. Scroll down to take a 'Guided Tour' of the document!

Comment period on this draft ends September 18. A side-by-side comparison of the current vs. proposed Land Use Map is available for review here.

Thank you for your response.
However as noted in my initial response to your comment, none of the language in the 2006 Carson City Master Plan reflects the language that you initially stated should be transferred into the 2024 Master Plan Update. Your comment adds new more restrictive language versus noting an absence of existing language in the City’s master plan document.

Suggestion
Glad to help. Look at Guiding Principle 9. It says: The City will also work to maintain the quality and character of established neighborhoods and ensure that infill and redevelopment is designed in a manner that minimizes impacts on existing neighborhoods, including rural neighborhoods located within the
City’s urbanizing areas. A mix of housing types will be encouraged within new neighborhoods.
Also under #4 LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS & ACTIVITY CENTERS it states: Encouraging infill and redevelopment that blends seamlessly with established areas of the City.
If these items are listed in the new MP, and it is followed, then whenever there is a decision to be made there will be guidelines that have to be considered instead of elected or appointed officials just making a decision on how they feel personally.
I will also throw this in just for FYI:
IND 1.2 - Industrial uses should generally be located away from residential neighborhoods, particularly those uses which generate significant noise and/or traffic.
You are welcome!

Question
Would you call out the section of the 2006 Carson City Master Plan in which the language you propose to incorporate is located? I have searched through the 2006 Master Plan document and have not found the language you listed.

RPyzel Sep 17 2024 at 1:04PM on page 50

Question
Will you direct me to where in the 2006 Maste Plan document the specific language you quote is located? I have read the document and have been unable to locate this specific language in any of the existing master plan's sections discussing new or infill developments' relationship to surrounding development.

Suggestion
Should also encourage the remodeling of existing homes that facilitate aging-in-place, accommodating older residents and others with mobility limitations or disabilities as well.

Affordable and workforce housing typically receive tax abatements as long as they remain as such income restricted housing. But both affordable and workforce housing contribute to the community by not only providing housing for the people who work in Carson City and the surrounding areas, but contribute through paying sales taxes on items purchased here (food, clothing, gasoline, etc.).

NRS 278.0231 requires local jurisdictions to require certain specific buildings to display their street addresses so emergency service providers can readily locate the building.

The 2024 master plan update current language regarding Scenarios1, 2, and 3 reflects that of the 2006 master plan as well as the statements made at the public listening meetings for this master plan update that I have attended.

In order attract convention type events it will be important foster a airport shuttle service.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:51AM on page 10

You have it backwards. The Master Plan MUST NOT conflict with ZONING, which is the LAW!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:49AM on page 9

The "community's priorities" NOT YOU or the BOS or the developers. "Current best practices" for who? YOU or the BOS or the developers. We want the resident's priorities and best practices! Don't you get it???

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:46AM on page 8

Again "compact"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was assumed - by who - YOU? You don't event live here, your assumptions don't count for anything!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:45AM on page 8

Compared to the number of taxpayers, the homeless are a tiny fraction. Why is so much attention and money being spent on them?????

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:44AM on page 8

Those who want more density should go back to California. Anyone not from California who wants more density needs mental health care or is a developer!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:42AM on page 7

You have ignored this throughout this document. AND, again with "compact." You need a new dictionary!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:40AM on page 6

Nor can it be. It is BLM or Forest Service land, lake-front, hills and mountains. Keep that in mind!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:39AM on page 6

Remember that "property owners" is not just for developers. Most of us existing residents are "property owners" and should be able to protect our property as well.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:37AM on page 6

General guidance. Remember this is NOT THE LAW!!! We have a Municipal Code for that!!!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:36AM on page 6

Throughout this document, you forget that this is meant to be only ADVISORY, not the law. Limit your developer blue-sky-ing or eliminate it entirely!!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:34AM on page 78

"Preferred"??? By whom? Maybe you but not the residents of Carson City. Remove this ridiculous sentence!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:32AM on page 77

Why should affordable units be given special treatment? The US Constitution calls for equal justice for all. A rule is a rule. Let affordable units abide by the rules that everyone else has to!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:31AM on page 77

We are open to truly affordable homes, but DO NOT WANT subsidized housing in Carson City's core.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:29AM on page 76

Once again, the word "compact" MUST be removed.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:29AM on page 76

This sentence should be changed to say "VERY, VERY careful consideration..." We really don't want this size but recognize that the state can override us. Steve Neighbors should NOT be allowed to do any of this stuff.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:27AM on page 75

Curry Street has many historic buildings, which this section would completely DESTROY! We don't want Curry included.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:26AM on page 75

When you and every member of the BOS is willing to sign a contract stating that you will live next door to a 9 story building, then it will be Ok. BUT NOT UNTIL THEN. Eliminate all references to "8 to 10 stories" everywhere in this document!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:24AM on page 75

The word "compact" MUST be removed!!!!!!!!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:23AM on page 75

Again with "compact." That word needs to be banned from this document. It represents YOU not the people of Carson CIty.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:23AM on page 75

You say "behind buildings" and "on-street parking" in the same paragraph. You CONTRADICT yourself proving you don't know what you are talking about.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:21AM on page 74

MUST be limited to 4 stories maximum when fully justified.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:20AM on page 73

This should ONLY be allowed via SUP. If you don't know what that is, you have not done your homework and should be fired.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:19AM on page 73

Not only avoided, made illegal!!!! Height MUST be limited to a maximum of 4 stories when they can justify it.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:18AM on page 72

We already know that developers and the planning department do NOT follow this rule so why have it!?!?!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:17AM on page 72

THIS SECTION MUST BE REMOVED ALTOGETHER! It will destroy the character of Carson City.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:16AM on page 71

See Page 63. This should be per the SF6 and SF12 zoning, not this fluff.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:15AM on page 71

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:15AM on page 71

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:14AM on page 70

We already know that developers and the planning department do NOT follow this rule so why have it!?!?!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:13AM on page 70

If you are real about this, it means NO straight line streets.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:13AM on page 69

"Protect the character of established neighborhoods" If you had listened to this, none of this would be necessary. Try to remember the importance of this and STOP giving everything to the developers!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:11AM on page 65

This must be consultant speak for "Business Park." Thanks but no thanks. There is one nearby, TRIC. If you don't know what that is, you did not do your homework and should be fired.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:07AM on page 65

I know YOU want 9 story buildings, but you don't live here. WE DO NOT!!! Remove the words "vertical or."

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:06AM on page 64

Again with the word "compact" See above comment. This word is anathema and MUST be eliminated.

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:05AM on page 63

Your grammar is terrible. It should read "wherever practicable" not " as practicable."

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:04AM on page 63

This bullet should read "Residential development containing a mix of LOW-DENSITY housing types...."

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:03AM on page 63

The terms "duplexes and townhomes" MUST be deleted. We don't want multi-family in our single-family zones. Don't you get it?

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:02AM on page 63

This should be SF6 and SF12, not this fluffy "per acre" stuff!

NoneOfYourBusiness Sep 16 2024 at 9:01AM on page 63

This was MDR. We are NOT a suburb of anywhere!!!! This term is insulting and MUST be removed!!!!
