F-1  SUP-14-013*  For Possible Action:  To consider a Special Use Permit request from Reach/REM-NV (property owner: Universal Trust) to operate an adult day program for adults with disabilities on property split-zoned Residential Office/General Office (RO/GO), located at 709 E. Robinson St., APN 004-233-01.  (Susan Dorr Pansky)

Summary:  This is a request to allow a facility that will provide an adult day program for adults with disabilities. This use is similar to an adult day care facility as defined in Carson City Municipal Code, but is not required to be licensed as such by the State. An adult day care or child care facility is allowed as a conditional use in the General Office zoning district.

F-2  SUP-14-136*  For Possible Action:  To consider a request from Custom Sign and Crane (property owner: Adams Carson LLC) to modify a previously approved Special Use Permit, U-82-25, to allow additional and modified signage at the Carson Nugget on property zoned Downtown Mixed Use (DT/MU), located at 507 N. Carson St., APN 004-211-11.  (Susan Dorr Pansky)

(Susan Dorr Pansky) 

Summary: The subject property is current owned by the State of Nevada but is not proposed for any public use and is slated for disposal by the State.
