The Lander County Commissioners convened on May 8, 2025, to discuss several zoning change applications aimed at facilitating residential and governmental developments in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

The meeting began with a review of Zone Change Application 25-0011, submitted by Double K Land Company LLC. This application sought to change the zoning of two parcels from 2.5-acre agricultural to R-1 single-family residential, allowing for higher density residential development. The planning commission had previously approved this application on April 16, 2025, with no public opposition noted. The commissioners unanimously approved the motion without further discussion.

Next, the commissioners addressed Zone Change Application 25-0012 from Emerald Land Company LLC, which proposed similar zoning changes for another parcel. This application aimed to convert a 2.5-acre agricultural zone to R-1 single-family residential and A-1 one-acre agricultural. Like the previous application, it had received prior approval from the planning commission without any conditions or public comments. The motion was also passed unanimously.

The final significant item on the agenda was Zone Change Application 25-0017, initiated by Lander County to rezone a commercial property to General Governmental Purpose (GP) for the development of a new fire station and EMS building. This application was also previously approved by the planning commission. The county engineer, Aaron Martinez, confirmed that the zoning change aligns with the intended use for government facilities. The commissioners approved this application without opposition.

Overall, the meeting reflected a clear focus on advancing residential development and enhancing public safety infrastructure in Lander County, with all proposed changes receiving unanimous support from the commissioners.
