20. Public Hearing: Appeal of the Washoe County Planning Commission's denial of Master Plan Amendment Case Number WMPA23-0008 and Regulatory Zone Amendment Case Number WRZA23-0009 (Thompson Family Trust) which seeks to amend the Southwest Truckee Meadows Area Plan, a component of the Washoe County Master Plan, to redesignate 8.36 acres of two parcels totaling 81.83 acres (APN's 041-650-04 and 041-650-05) from Rural (R) to Suburban Residential (SR); and which seeks to amend the Southwest Truckee Meadows Regulatory Zone Map, to redesignate 8.36 acres of the same parcels from General Rural (GR) (1 dwelling unit/40 acres) to Low Density Suburban (LDS) (1 du/acre). The appellant and applicant is David Thompson. The subject parcels are located southeast of the intersection of Hunters Peak Road and Hunter Fall Circle within the Southwest Truckee Meadows Area Plan, have a master plan designation of Rural and a regulatory zone designation of General Rural. The Board of County Commissioners (Board) shall consider the appeal based on the record on appeal and any additional evidence submitted at the Board's public hearing. The Board may affirm the Planning Commission's decision, as recommended by staff, or may reverse the Planning Commission's decision. If the Board reverses the Planning Commission's decision and adopts the proposed amendments, then the Board shall also consider approving a resolution to sponsor an amendment to the 2019 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan to change the Land Designation of the 8.36 acres of APN 041-650-04 and 041-650-05 included in master plan amendment WMPA23-0008 from Tier 3 to Tier 2. The County's adoption of the proposed master plan and regulatory zone amendments would only take effect after a determination that the master plan amendment conforms with the Truckee Meadows Regional Plan by the regional planning authorities. If adopted, the Board must authorize the Chair to sign the resolutions to this effect. Community Services. (Commission District 1.) FOR POSSIBLE ACTION
