Washoe
County Regional Planning Commission approves Legacy Farms subdivision
5-1
Developers win appeal of third advisory board denial
RENO
(April 15, 2003) After listening to testimony from staff,
developers and nearby neighbors, including many from Protect Our
Washoe, the Washoe County Regional Planning Commission voted 5-1
to uphold the appeal of the Legacy Farms subdivision. After expressing
his concerns about water, Commissioner Robert Fink cast the only
dissenting vote. Commissioner Mark Sullivan was absent.
If
built at the corner of Lakeside Drive and Holcomb Lane in the
southwest Reno pasturelands, Legacy Farms will change the character
of the area and possibly serve as a precursor for further subdivision
developments. If it goes forward, it would represent the first
time a subdivision of this kind has ever been built in the area
and, notwithstanding the contention of the developers, will
not be rural in the sense that area has been used to for
the past several decades.
