Like urban News Summary:

“In 2023, the Renault Municipal Council initiated a change in the text of the Renault Municipal Code to allow ADUS in most areas of the city. In 2024, the city’s employees conducted extensive public information related to ADUS, including a survey and numerous public meetings and went to the Renault Municipal Council for more direction. Based on this feedback, employees have developed a project ordinance and are now looking for an additional contribution to the improvement of the proposed language. “

No local press has raised it yet, but I learned late last week Renault’s request to abandon the Stevenson Street is withdrawn by the candidateAs you can see on the Accela webpage hereS

As I discussed On my January 6, 2025 ShortThe consideration of this request was scheduled for the meeting on January 8, but continued until February 12. Not anymore.

The request (ABN24-00003) was sent (and withdrawn) by the owners of the two properties on the east side of Stevenson Street. But a partnership with them under the proposed agreement was Stephen Crmer of Kromer Investments, the owner of a free parcel on the west side of the street (the former site of the Greyhound bus terminal).

You can read more about Kromer in Sponsored Publication from Reno Reno Partnership Center Published by It’s Reno In 2023, he was also in the late news, thanks to a large extent to some reporting reports by Joe Hart on News 4 Reno:

With this request for abandonment suddenly withdrawn, it was out of time to start the city of Renault to begin Holding Jacobs Entertainment Responsible For their promise to provide enough public parking spaces to compensate for those who took away to build their residential building at the corner of Western 2 street and Avenue Arlington.
