Converting Detached Garage Reno/Sparks NV

Hello BP Community, 

   I live in Reno/Sparks Nevada. I have a detached garage that I want to convert into an additional dwelling unit aka Granny Unit. The goal being to create a stand alone studio that I can rent out. I have already met with my local city planning department, gotten feedback from them, and now I need help finding someone who can help me create a site plan before I take next steps. I have already called architects in my area but most say my project is too small for the work they do. Anyone know of online architects that can create a stamp approved site plan?

Any tips, resources, or advice on garage conversions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you all in advanced, 

Charlie
