Boulevard Gaming Overlay Expansion

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.

What: master plan amendment and zoning map amendment (case LDC26-000070, as captioned) to extend the gaming overlay across Kitsky Lane (as captioned; probably Kietzke Lane) to 27.95 acres, the former Jones West Ford dealership and an older retail center. It does not change the land use designation or zoning.
Where it stands: on 2026-10-14 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt the master plan amendment and recommend the zoning map amendment to the City Council. Chair Jockman and Commissioner Belto were recused, so five votes were needed and cast.
Next: City Council, and a conformance review by the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission.

Staff said the overlay is next to the existing Atlantis and convention center overlay area; any gaming use still needs its own permit.
Commissioner McCoy asked what makes the expansion good land use apart from the stadium. Jeff Foster pointed to proximity and the established visitor corridor.
Asked whether the overlay could be pulled back if the stadium is not built, Lauren Knox said a condition is not possible, but the City could initiate a rollback and the discussion can go in the staff report to Council.
It was heard together with Boulevard Stadium and Hotel Casino Conditional Use Permit, with separate motions.
