Carson City Community Development is bringing back Saturdays with the city planner at the library. Carson City is continuing to seek Community input and feedback on the City’s land use Master Plan update.
On Saturdays in November, the Carson City Community Development Department will be hosting “City Planner Day at the Library.” The events will be held on Nov. 2, 9, 16 and 23 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Carson City library, 900 North Roop Street. This is part of the City’s outreach to inform and engage with the community and seek input from all community members.
In October 2023, the City entered into a contract with Clarion Associates, a national land use consulting firm, to help the City update its Land Use Master Plan. The Land Use Master Plan isn’t just a policy document, it is a visionary roadmap. It articulates the City’s goals, objectives, and policies relative to land development.
The current plan was adopted in 2006. Since then, the freeway interchange with Highway 50 has opened, and there have been infrastructure improvements in the downtown corridor and on South Carson Street. Also, technological advancements have changed the way we shop as well as the function of the workplace. Per the State demographer, the City’s population has increased by 5.24% in the 16 years between 2006 and 2022, which is the most current certified population data available.
According to Community Development Director Hope Sullivan “We want to be accessible to everyone and let them know that the update process is happening, answer questions, and receive input. The input we have received so far has been incorporated into the draft document. Everyone is encouraged to review the draft document at envisioncarsoncity.org.
Any questions can be directed to Community Development Director Hope Sullivan at masterplan@carson.org.
