The Pahrump Regional Planning Commission will weigh a request that could change access and traffic flow near Mountain Falls, including the abandonment of a temporary turning lane and ingress-egress easement at 4501 S. Homestead Rd., 0 E. Mtn. Falls Pkwy. and 4250 S. James Ave.

The commission will meet Wednesday, July 15, at 6 p.m. in Commissioners Chambers at 2100 E. Walt Williams Drive in Pahrump. Residents can also call in at 1-480-660-5340 using access code 147326, or watch the meeting on the Nye County website, where the video feed will run about 30 to 40 seconds behind the chamber proceedings.

AB-26-3 also seeks to abandon and vacate public utility easements tied to Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 045-041-05, 045-041-06 and 045-021-25. If approved, the action could affect how utilities, vehicles and future site access are arranged around those parcels, which sit near a corridor already shaped by commercial and residential growth in south Pahrump.

A second easement case, AB-26-2, covers public utility easements at 6120 E. Mtn. Falls Blvd., 6200 E. Mtn. Falls Blvd. and 5372 S. NV Highway 160. That request involves APNs 045-011-22, 045-011-09 and 045-011-18, placing it in another area where road access, utility corridors and future development can quickly ripple into nearby property values and building plans.

The most visible commercial item on the agenda is CU-26-18, a conditional use permit for a temporary 20,000-gallon above-ground fuel storage container on a 19.59-acre General Commercial parcel at 2630 E. Industrial Rd., APN 035-418-12. Gridliance West, LLC is listed as the property owner, and Zach Kohr of Summit Line Construction is the agent and applicant. The permit would give the commission a chance to weigh whether the temporary tank fits the site’s use and the surrounding industrial corridor.

The planning commission operates under Nevada law and acts on planning-related matters under authority established by the Nye County Board of County Commissioners. Its decisions are final unless appealed to the county commission. Chair Pamela Tyler is listed on the roster with Secretary/Clerk Faith Simunick and members Salli Kerr, Richard Ewing, Danielle Kruse, Christina Prange-Lally, Beth Borysewich and John Koenig, with Steve Osborne serving as planning director.

Written comments were requested for inclusion in the staff report by Tuesday, July 14, at the Nye County Planning Department, 2041 E. Calvada Blvd. N., Suite 1, Pahrump, or by email to planning@nyecountynv.gov. Public comment at the meeting is limited to three minutes per person for off-agenda comment and again during individual action items before a vote.
