The Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-12, directing the levy of tax rates for fiscal year 2026-2027. Treasurer Raylin Powers presented the current tax rates, noting that the overall tax rate remains unchanged.

Nye County Postpones Decision on Sweeping Zoning Ordinance Amendments Amidst Public Opposition
The Board of County Commissioners considered proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance, specifically within Title 17, Chapter 17.10, concerning Special Use Permits and development standards. The amendments, presented as Bill No. 2026-01, included changes to definitions, permit application processes, development agreements, commencement criteria, and setbacks/height restrictions for solar panels. Public comment overwhelmingly expressed opposition, particularly regarding the deletion of solar siting regulations, the weakening of commencement definitions, and the bundling of numerous significant policy changes. Concerns were raised about transparency, potential benefits to developers over residents, and the impact on the county's rural character and resources like water. The Beatty Town Advisory Board also proposed specific amendments related to their town's boundaries and proximity to highways. Due to the complexity, public opposition, and concerns about the presentation of changes, the Board voted to continue the item to a future meeting to allow for revisions, including highlighting changes in red and incorporating Beatty's recommendations.
Nye County Considers Major Zoning Ordinance Amendments, Extends Decision on Solar and Development Standards
The Board of County Commissioners deliberated on an ordinance (Bill No. 2026-01) proposing amendments to Nye County Code Title 17 (Comprehensive Land Use Planning and Zoning), Chapter 17.10 (Special Use Permits). The proposed changes included adding definitions, modifying the special use permit and waiver application process, removing the applicant signature requirement for preliminary development plans, adding development agreements, altering documentation needs, and revising standards for federal building permits, commencement of construction, sound pressure level tests, setbacks, and height restrictions for solar panels. Significant public opposition was voiced, particularly concerning the deletion of zoning sections related to solar panel siting, the weakening of commencement definitions, and changes to setback and height restrictions. The Beatty Town Advisory Board requested specific inclusions related to their town boundaries and highway proximity. After extensive public comment and discussion among commissioners regarding the proposed changes, particularly those affecting solar development and the potential for unintended consequences, the Board voted to continue the item to a future meeting to allow for revisions, including highlighting all changes in red and incorporating specific recommendations for the Town of Beatty.
Perrump Public Storage Rezoning Extension Denied by Nye County Commissioners
The Board of County Commissioners heard testimony regarding AP-26-7, an appeal of the Perrump Regional Planning Commission's (RPC) denial of a 12-month extension for ZCMP-25-1. This zone change aimed to rezone 3.77 acres from Village Residential VR10 to Neighborhood Commercial for a public storage facility. The original zone change was approved with conditions requiring a site development plan within 12 months. The applicant requested an extension due to unforeseen circumstances. The RPC denied the extension, and the applicant appealed to the Board. After public comment, which largely opposed the extension and urged the denial to be upheld due to concerns about the new ownership's intentions and the property's current condition, the Board voted 4-0 (with one recusal) to affirm the RPC's denial, effectively upholding the original denial of the extension.
