DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. - Douglas County Commissioners Danny Tarkanian and Mark Gardner are holding a meeting at Round Hill on Wednesday, August 3 to go over agenda items affecting the Lake Tahoe Basin.

In a letter he sent to residents:

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hear the following items at the August 4, 2022 BOCC meeting:

- A discussion on a proposal for lease-purchase financing for the construction of the new Douglas County Judicial Center and the remodeling of the existing Judicial and Law Enforcement Center Project.

- Discussion to approve the purchase of 224.028 acre-feet-annual of water rights for the future use of Douglas County, at a total cost of $2,016,252.

- Discussion on the appointment of a Justice of the Peace for the East Fork Township Justice Court to serve the remainder of the unexpired term of Justice of the Peace Cassandra Jones.

- A first reading on amending the County Code related to the Tahoe Area Plan Regulations to authorize religious assemblies as a matter of right in the Lake Tahoe Mixed Use zoning district and eliminate the need for a special use permit. This proposal will eliminate the problem the BOCC experienced earlier this year with the Special Use Permit requested by the synagogue.

- Amend the North Douglas County Specific Plan to allow Independent Congregate Senior Living Community and Nursing, Convalescent, Residential Care Facility by way of a Special Use Permit in the Multi-Family Residential zoning district. The property is located south of Topsy Lane and east of Highway 395 within the Indian Hills/Jacks Valley Community Plan

- BOCC will vote on whether to eliminate the requirement to install automatic fire sprinkler systems in all single-family residential structures less 5,000 sq. ft. outside of the Tahoe-Douglas Fire Protection District.
