Virtual meeting on Carson master plan update Thursday

Carson City Community Development Director Hope Sullivan is encouraging residents, business owners and visitors to participate in the Land Use Master Plan Update Virtual Meeting on Thursday at 5 p.m.

Information about access to the meeting can be found at www.envisioncarsoncity.org.

“In October 2023, the city entered into a contract with Clarion Associates, a national land use consulting firm, to help update its Land Use Master Plan,” the city said in a news release. “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 South Carson Street. Also, technological advancements have changed the way we shop as well as the function of the workplace.”

The planning commission and city staff went on a “listening tour” in March to hear from the community.

“During the Thursday meeting, the consultants will report what was heard, as well as report on existing demographic and economic statistics and trends. Additional community input will be sought during the virtual meeting,” according to the release.
