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.
