Churchill County commissioners voted unanimously at their last meeting to acknowledge receipt of Resolution 1-2021 from the countyâs Planning Commission to adopt and approve the 2020 Master Plan.
Before voting on the resolution, commissioners heard from concerned residents about growth and other factors that could change the quality of life in Churchill County.
Commissioners conducted a public hearing before voting. Churchill County Associate Planner Dean Patterson said the master plan is updated every five years. He said Nevada Revised Statue 278 dictates the procedures for updating the plan.
The elements of the Master Plan includes housing and population, education, conservation and natural resources, hazards and hazard mitigation, historical preservation, economic development, recreation, transportation, public services and facilities, open space, land use and policy plan for public lands.
