Summary: Nevada State Historic Preservation Office received federal funding to create a Historic Context for Women’s History in Nevada. The purpose of the historic context is to provide a broad historical overview of women’s history in Nevada with an emphasis on suffrage and women’s rights through 1980, and to identify significant historic resources associated with those historical developments in Nevada. Kautz Environmental Consultants, Inc. is soliciting input from the Commission as part of this project.

F-3 HRC-2020-0010 For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding an amended Section 106 Technical Report prepared due to Federal permitting for a one hundred (100) foot monopole on property zoned General Commercial and located at 4209 South Carson Street, APN 009-125-24. (Hope Sullivan, hsullivan@carson.org)

Summary: The Historic Resource Commission reviewed the original document of May 14, 2020 and requested that the report be amended to include the 1960’s residences to be considered for visual effects within the area of potential impact.

The proposed cell tower requires permitting though the Federal Communications Commission. Consistent with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, due to the federal permitting, an analysis of the potential impacts on cultural resources has been prepared.
