The Andersen Ranch Estates Subdivision will be one topic of discussion at the upcoming Carson City Board of Supervisors meeting tomorrow, Thursday Jan. 16.
The proposed development plan for the new subdivision was approved at the December planning commission meeting, during which the commission recommended approval of the project map with a 4-2 vote, with one vote absent.
The plan submitted in July for the new subdivision by the developers, Christy Corp, allows for 111 lots with a minimum of 5,000 square feet, and 93 larger lots between 7,700 square feet and 13,569 square feet.
A total of 7.58 acres of open space and 9.64 acres of right of way is also included in the plans.
Previously, there was a plan for the site in the form of the “Vintage at Kings Canyon” project, which was set to develop a 5.6-acre property for an assisted living/congregate care facility as well as homes in 2016.
The area is zoned for Single Family 6,000, Single Family 12,000 and Single Family 1 Acre.
Originally, the Vintage designed 212 single family residential units, a bed congregate care facility, trails, a park, and roads.
A few changes were made to the original plan, one of which being a proposed restroom facility at one of the parks to be built within the neighborhood plan.
Carson City Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer Budge stated in a Dec. 30 memo that the department is not opposing the removal of the restroom from the plan.
“While restrooms are not typical in the City’s neighborhood parks, they are at regional trailheads,” Budge said. “There are no public park restrooms at all on the west side, with the closest proposed restroom being at Kings Canyon Trailhead, located 3.5 miles away, which is why the restroom was originally proposed. I appreciate the citizen and Commissioner comments regarding concerns related to a restroom and do not oppose the removal of that amenity from condition 39.”

In addition, condition number 42 stipulates that since Carson City is a Bee City USA, the developer must use approximately 50 percent pollinator friendly plan material for any required common landscaping areas/open space on the project site. Any remaining landscape plant material selection must be consistent with the city’s approved tree species list.
Conditions regarding style were added as well, including architecture styles. Condition 45 stipulates that architecture styles must be limited to traditional, craftsman or farmhouse architecture styles, with no Spanish or Mediterranean architecture allowed. Each home must include two of the following:
- Brick or masonry products
- Stained, painted or weathered wood siding or shingles, or cementious product
- Tinted or textured stucco
- Natural stone
- Non-reflective metal accents.
Homes along the northern perimeter of the development must be limited to a single story.

The Andersen Ranch development discussion at the Board of Supervisors meeting will take place during the evening session beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Sierra Room of the Community Center, located at 851 E. William Street.
