Reno City Council Rejects Prado Ranch Master Plan

The Reno City Council has unanimously turned down the proposed Prado Ranch master plan, which called for homes, multi-family dwellings, commercial property and industrial use buildings in Lemmon Valley. The proposed site sits along both the east and west sides of Lemmon Drive from Patrician Drive to Oregon Boulevard. Critics argued that the area had, until recently, been flooded. Neighbors say more development could exacerbate runoff in the area, making the flooding situation worse. Backers say we have an historic housing shortage.
