Lyon County Commissioners will consider signing a resolution that would establish a moratorium and suspend any applications related to zoning, land use and building permitting within Lyon County during their regular action meeting Thursday. The purpose of the moratorium is to allow the Lyon County Planning and Zoning Board to review zoning regulations related to medical buildings. It was reported earlier this month that Stormont Vail Health had purchased land to build a new multi-million dollar medical facility in the county, however, calls for confirmation from KVOE to Stormont have not been returned. Commission Chairman Rollie Martin tells KVOE News the resolution being considered Thursday was drafted by the county commission and not by any local or outside agency. Consideration of the resolution comes the same week it was announced that mediated conversations between Stormont and Newman Regional Health had come to a close. Martin declined further comment until after Thursday’s meeting.
