Presentation Now Available City of Reno Zoning Code Update

In January of 2021 the City of Reno adopted a new zoning code, and as part of that adoption it was always anticipated that some code clean-up would be necessary. In June of 2022, City Council initiated a text amendment to the Title 18 Annexation and Land Development Code, to address those outstanding zoning code clean-up items including grammatical errors, inconsistencies with regulations, unintended deletions or insertions, and updates based on legislative changes. Key to the code clean-up was to create a document that removes the conflicting regulations and made it easier for staff to administer in a consistent manner.  A copy of the presentation is available at the link below.

Official Press Release

Approved by Chapter on October 21, 2024 Chapter Bylaw Amendments Approved

The approved bylaw changes aim to consolidate the Northern and Southern Sections into the Nevada State Chapter and to add four regional directors to the Chapter’s Executive Committee. Two regional directors will be elected from each region—Northern and Southern—to represent their respective areas. This will result in an Executive Board of nine members, including the Chapter Officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer), the four Regional Directors, and the immediate past President. This consolidation will reduce the number of positions by six. By merging into a single unified State Chapter, the organization will enhance operational efficiency and strengthen its presence throughout Nevada.
