County Planning Commission Delays Vote on Scrap Yard

Nevada county commission requests further information from applicant before issuing special use permit.

Published September 13, 2004

The Churchill County, Nevada, Planning Commission has decided to postpone a vote on a request for a special use permit by a company looking to open a scrap yard in the county. Initially the Planning Commission was to vote on the proposal earlier this month, but requested the company provide more information before deciding on whether or not to issue the special use permit.

 

According to local press reports the location is zoned industrial, and any business operating in the area would need a special use permit.

 

One of the areas that the Commission requested more information on is the impact the yard would have on any groundwater.

 

Along with a permit from the county, if the project would go ahead they would need a permit from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.

 

While the Churchill County Planning Commission will wait for further information from the applicant, a spokeswoman for the county said the company may opt to look at another location in the state to build the yard.
