Permits for new car dealership, Starbucks, RV resort, residential development under review by Carson City

A new Nissan dealership, Starbucks Coffee store, and more housing developments are among the proposed building projects currently under review by the Carson City Planning Division.

According to the January 2019 Community Development Report, a site improvement permit is currently under review for demolition of the old Crafter Market building located at 2750 S. Carson Street.

The permit, valued at $4 million, also includes proposals for site work on the property to develop it into a new Nissan automobile dealership.

Also under zoning review is a proposed new Starbucks Coffee store at 4881 Cochise Street near S. Carson Street between West Roland Street and West Appion Way. The permit valuation of that project is $240,000.

A Jackson's Food Mart is proposed at 1102 N. Carson Street, site of the old Chevron gas station and convenience store between W. William and W. John streets next door to Cafe at Adele's. That permit, under review by the Carson City Planning Division, is valued at $1.4 million.

Under zoning review in North Carson City is a proposed extended-stay RV resort at 1400 Old Hot Springs Road next to the Carson Hot Springs Resort.

A Special Use Permit (SUP) has been applied for by Sierra Skies RV Resort, which would feature up to 277 individual RV spaces for stays up to 180 days, or six months.

The RV resort is proposed to be zoned Tourist Commercial.

Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center is applied for an SUP, requesting expansion of existing facilities, including the emergency services area, medical center support services, and Sierra Surgery Hospital, as well as an enclosed pedestrian walkway connection between the main hospital and Sierra Surgery Hospital.

The following are proposed residential developments, the zoning or building permit applications for which are currently under review by the Carson City Planning Division:

— A tentative subdivision map for 270 single-family residential building lots along Drako Way and Astro Drive and below Flint Drive, where the landfill and rifle range are located, in East Carson City.

The 119-acre residential development includes nine common parcels, three remainder parcels an about 13 acres of right-of-way.

A separate zoning map amendment to rezone the subject properties from General Industrial to Single Family is under concurrent review by the planning division.

The rezoning proposal would cover 68 total acres for multi-family apartments on about 14 acres, as well as public regional rezoning for around 19 acres.

— Current residential properties in Southwest Carson City have also submitted applications for a zoning map amendment to redesignate properties along the 4500 block of Cochise Street, 400 block of West Appion Street and 300 block of Patrick Street from single-family residential to retail commercial.

This proposal includes the public right-of-way abandonment of West Willow Street between Cochise and Voltaire streets.

Under this proposal, property in this area would be rezoned to accommodate a 143-unit apartment complex consisting of 27 one-bedroom units, 100 two-bedroom units and 16 three-bedroom apartment units, Carson City Planner Hope Sullivan said.

A rezoning from split-zoned retail-commercial and single-family one-acre to entirely retail commercial was approved by the Carson City Board of Supervisors, Sullivan said.

The application is still under review, she said, and a public hearing for the property in question has not yet been scheduled.

— A tentative Planned Unit Development (PUD) to create 137 single family lots and 312 multi-family units on 41.6 acres, known as Lompa Ranch East, located on the east side of Interstate 580 and bordering Airport Road to the east.

— A 62-unit apartment complex at 680 Hot Springs Road, bordering Pine Lane, with a permit value of $12.6 million.

— The Vintage at Kings Canyon remains under zoning review as of the November report.

Public projects currently under permit review with the planning division include the expansion of two elementary schools with the construction of additional classroom space.

Both Fremont Elementary, 1511 Firebox Road, and Mark Twain Elementary, 2111 Carriage Crest Drive, have submitted building permits for review to expand the size of the schools.

Permit valuations totaled nearly $30 million between October and December 2018. More than $12 million in permit valuations were processed in the last month of 2018.

Year-to-date valuations totaled more than $102 million, the third highest since 2003.

More than 300 building permits for 567 units were also issued year-to-date as of December 2018, the community development report said, more than any year since 1996. This includes more than 100 single-family detached residential building permits.
