Spring Creek/Lamoille - Elko County

Plan Implementation of the Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan
Zoning Regulations. The principal means of implementing the plan proposals will be through the use and
application of Title 4, Zoning Regulations of the Elko County Code. The zoning districts and the
regulations of each district will largely determine the uses that will occur on the lands within the Spring
Creek / Lamoille Master Plan area. With the exception of specific areas addressed within the land use
forum. Therefore, it is important to establish zoning districts that are consistent with the land use
designations indicated on the Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan.
Guidelines. For effective implementation of the plan, the following guidelines shall be followed:
1) Establish zoning districts that will be consistent with the land use designations reflected in the
Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan.
2) Re-Zone, where appropriate, the areas where existing zoning districts are inconsistent with the
designations proposed within the Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan; and
3) Retain consistency between zoning districts and the designations within the plan area.
Land use Designations and Zoning Districts. The following is a summary of the land use designations
and zoning districts that would be appropriate in order to attain the consistency with each designation. In
addition to the zoning districts and designations, special designations and provisions were approved as part
of the Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan. The following is a list the special zoning designations and
zoning provisions:
Special Designations and Provisions of the
Spring Creek / Lamoille Master Plan
Special Designations and Provisions set forth in the Master Plan were incorporated to help restrict
Commercial and Industrial uses within residential areas as well as to maintain minimum Residential Parcel
sizes. These Special Designations and Provisions were used to provide the necessary Commercial
Development for the continued growth of the residential areas. The minimum Parcel sizes were
implemented to maintain the current types of development patterns already proven to be successful within
the Master Plan Area. These Designations were also needed to address the referenced specific concerns
made during the public workshops and meetings. The following list of Special Designations and Provisions
is proposed to be added to the Elko County Zoning Code.
