Pleasant Steamboat Valleys Landowners Association

Dear Pleasant and Steamboat Valley Residents,

We are thrilled to share outstanding news: in the late hours of January 6, 2026, the Washoe County Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the Sierra Reflections development application!

This victory is a shining example of what we can accomplish when our community comes together. The partnership between your PSVLA Board, the Washoe Valley Alliance, and the many passionate residents of Pleasant and Steamboat Valleys made this possible. Your voices, your time, and your dedication truly made a difference.

While we celebrate this important milestone, we are mindful that the process is not yet fully complete—the developers have 10 days to file an appeal. Regardless of what comes next, we have shown our strength, unity, and commitment to preserving the character of our valley. We will continue to keep you informed as updates become available.

Over the past year, your Board worked closely with the Washoe Valley Alliance to build a comprehensive, coordinated response to the massive 1,500-page application and its accompanying maps and exhibits. Thanks to the hard work of so many, our community presented what the Director of the Building Commissioners described as “The most organized and detailed opposition to a development plan he has ever seen.”

This is a moment to pause, appreciate, and celebrate the power of our collective efforts. Thank you to everyone who contributed—large or small—to this tremendous outcome.

Thank you!

The PSVLA board

Hello Neighbors!

We’re not an HOA; we’re your neighbors, working together to make our community even better. The Pleasant/Steamboat Valleys Landowner’s Association (PSVLA) has evolved over the years, but our core mission remains the same: keeping you informed about important issues affecting our area. In fact, we even spearheaded our Neighborhood Watch program!

Your Voice Matters

Living in an area experiencing growth and facing water concerns, it’s more important than ever for homeowners to unite. Imagine the power of a single voice amplified by many – that’s what the PSVLA offers. This association can truly be whatever we, as a community, want it to be. So, get involved, get acquainted, and get to know your neighbors! Let’s work together on the issues that impact us all.

Stay Connected & Get Involved

We typically hold at least two general membership meetings each year, announced via email and with signs placed around the valleys. These meetings usually feature a brief business session followed by engaging guest speakers discussing topics of general interest. We’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our Board, committees, or assist in any capacity. If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit our Contact Us page.

Dear Neighbors and Fellow Landowners,
My name is Aaron Southerland, and I’m proud to introduce myself as the newly elected
President of the Pleasant Steamboat Valley Landowners Association. As a resident of Reno

character, safety, and natural beauty that make Pleasant and Steamboat Valley such a special
place to live.
In this role, I’m committed to open communication, responsible stewardship of our shared
resources, and working collaboratively to address the needs and concerns of our landowners.
Whether it’s maintaining our roads, supporting fire safety, or preserving our rural lifestyle, I
believe we can accomplish a great deal together.
I look forward to meeting more of you personally, listening to your input, and working with the
