(Susan Dorr Pansky, spansky@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Historic Preservation Fund is a grant program through the National Park Service that awards funding to states for historic preservation activities. Each year applications are accepted by the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and grant funding is awarded all or in part to eligible projects selected by SHPO. This year Carson City is applying for $75,000 to send staff to the 2016 National Alliance for Preservation Commissions (NAPC) Forum Conference in Mobile, AL, to host a Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP) training program for the Historic Resources Commission and for the preparation of up to five Historic Structures Reports for the Nevada State Prison. 

25.C For Possible Action: To introduce, on first reading, an ordinance approving an amendment to the development agreement between Carson City and Ross Park, LLC, to extend the tentative planned unit development map expiration date to March 15, 2017, for the development known as Ross Park, located at 4749 Snyder Avenue, APN 009-139-01, (MISC-16-006) (Susan Dorr Pansky, spansky@carson.org)

Staff Summary: The Ross Park Planned Unit Development tentative map will expire on March 15, 2016, unless the Board approves an extension of time as permitted under the current development agreement.

Staff Summary: The existing single family residential zoning district for the subject property is not consistent with the Master Plan land use designation of Community/Regional Commercial. A commercial zoning district such as Neighborhood Business is more consistent with the Master Plan and would allow the applicant to apply for a Special Use Permit to develop the property as multi-family apartments.

A "motel safety program" similar to a program the City of Reno uses, which is a comprehensive approach to code enforcement across multiple departments, could be implemented to address building code compliance, fire code compliance, criminal activity, nuisance issues, and other issues.
