After approval from the Reno City Council, it was announced last week that developers would have 120 days to submit proposals to the City of Reno for new housing projects of 30 units or more that would receive deferrals for impact fees that are usually paid up front, including sewer connection and traffic impact fees. It’s a part of Mayor Hillary Schieve’s “1,000 Homes in 120 Days” initiative, announced last month in a city press release.
Two people made public comment before the council voted to proceed with initiative—which is being described by the mayor and her staff as a pilot program. The first was Melinda Smith of the Builders Association of Northern Nevada.
