The Fallon City Council approved the sale of 9.6 acres in the New River Business Park at its Aug. 19 meeting. The council first voted to approve a resolution authorizing the intended use of the property before approving the sale.
Rudy Zavalani plans to use the property to establish a northern Nevada presence for his paving and striping businesses. Zavalani operates Pave-Tech Inc. and Cal Stripe Inc., both based in Southern California. His companies specialize in paving and striping, and he has been contracting with NAS Fallon since the 1990s.
Zavalani stated he would build an office building on site, and have a yard to store materials, all located on pallets and wrapped. He will also park vehicles such as trucks, sweepers, dump trucks, and grinding trucks. City Attorney Trent deBraga said there would not be a hot plant or a mixing plant on this property, as materials are mixed on job sites. Zavalani noted the cleanliness of his Southern California business sites in discussions with city staff. The vacant parcel sits directly east of the Lahontan Valley VA Clinic and across the street from the DaVita Fallon Dialysis Center and Amazon distribution center.
deBraga also said the companies will create 20–50 prevailing wage jobs. The council approved the sale for $620,000.
During the police department report, Mayor Ken Tedford asked Chief Daniel Babiarz to begin a campaign about pedestrian and crosswalk safety and to work with the city’s public relations firm.
The council also approved an ordinance to annex the property at 690 E. Front St. The zoning will be R2 Limited Multiple Residence District. The council will vote to adopt the ordinance at a public hearing on Sept. 16. A liquor license, applied for by Torie Sandberg for her mobile bar Revel & Roam Cocktail Co. LLC, was approved at the council’s Aug. 5 meeting.
The City Council meets next on Sept. 2 at 9 a.m. at 55 W. Williams Ave.
