City Hall
The Andersen Ranch West project will not be heard at Thursday’s Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting. The controversial subdivision proposal will go to supervisors at their June 1 meeting, according to a press release from the community development department.
“This item was originally scheduled for consideration by the Board of Supervisors on May 18 but has been rescheduled to the June 1 meeting at the applicant’s request,” reads the press release.
The tentative subdivision map proposes 61 single-family residential lots and a 50.33-acre remainder parcel with an existing residence on an 80.53-acre site west of Ormsby Boulevard. The site is zoned single family 1 acre and single family 12,000 (minimum lot size).
In April, planning commissioners unanimously recommended denial of the project, the second time within a year the planning body couldn’t support the proposal. Questions about the project may be directed to Associate Planner Heather Manzo at hmanzo@carson.org.
At the May 18 meeting, which starts at 8:30 a.m. in the community center, supervisors will consider other items:
• Supervisors will review the final budget for fiscal year 2024. They approved the tentative budget, including $1.9 million in supplemental requests from city departments, in April.
“The Carson City budget includes 24 governmental funds with estimated expenditures of $136.7 million and 10 proprietary funds with expenditures of $55.3 million,” reads a memo on the final budget.
• Supervisors will consider using undesignated federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to help rehabilitate tennis courts at Centennial Park.
During a hearing on capital improvements in April, supervisors expressed interest in rehabilitating all eight tennis courts at the park. If approved, the change in ARPA expenditures would add $410,000 to the tennis court project, on top of $330,000 already allocated.
• Supervisors will convene as the Redevelopment Authority to review the authority’s final budget for fiscal year 2024.
According to budget documents, the RA final budget contains three governmental funds with total estimated expenditures of about $4.7 million.
• Supervisors will also review various items relating to the city’s neighborhood improvement districts, or NIDS. The NIDS include the Downtown Neighborhood Improvement District and the South Carson Neighborhood Improvement District.
“Before the board may levy the assessment or amend the DNID ordinance, the board must hold this public hearing for the assessed property owners to present any complaints, protests or objections concerning the assessments or ordinance amendment; set aside, revise, correct or confirm the assessments and the ordinance amendments; and consider applications for hardship determinations,” reads a staff summary.
The same applies to the SCNID. Established in 2016 and 2021, respectively, the NIDs were designed to help pay for ongoing maintenance costs for improvements downtown and for the South Carson Complete Streets project. Assessments are distributed among commercial property owners in the districts.
