INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The Washoe County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday moved forward on the first reading of an ordinance to amend Washoe County code and the Tahoe Area Plan in order to allow single-family dwellings in a commercial zone of Incline Village.
The next step will be a second reading before it is fully approved. It will likely be brought to the commissioners again for the second reading and a possible adoption of the ordinance on Jan. 17.
Although District 1 Commissioner Alexis Hill had multiple questions for Washoe County Senior Planner Courtney Weiche regarding the potential need for a special use permit for the project, she overall decided the first reading was the right step forward, with the need to continue to look at affordable and workforce housing in Tahoe in the coming year.
