Item 6.2
BACKGROUND
The March 4, 2020, the Fernley City Council adopted a revised development code. The previous Title 32 was
repealed in its entirety and the revised Title 32 superseded any previous approval. Recently, staff realized
several sections of the code were inadvertently excluded from the revised code. This item requests the
previous text be included in the revised code as it provides critical standards and guidance related to water
dedication and facilities for development within the City.
ANALYSISStaff is not proposing any material changes to the language as a part of the request. The proposedsections have been renumbered and any references to other sections or subsections have been revisedaccordingly.
This proposed text includes sections retaining to: (1) use of water rights and facilities; (2) the nature ofdedication; (3) facilities standards; (4) approval of service is conditional; (5) payment in lieu of dedicationof water rights; and (6) list of qualified appraisers. The proposed Ordinance has also been provided as anattachment for comparison.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the City Council adopt the Code Amendment as presented.
Recommended Motion:“I move to Adopt Bill #294, an Ordinance amending Title 32, Chapter 09 of the Fernley Municipal Code toinclude requirements and standards related to the dedication of water rights and facilities for residentialsubdivision and parcel maps, construction of new homes and industrial and commercial buildings.”
