In what has been a seesaw battle, developers for the StoneGate project in north Reno are going back to the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Commission later this week October 9th to appeal the denial of their proposed changes to make it less residential and more industrial.
The rejection of the request from Heinz Ranch Land Co., with a promotional screenshot from a video from their website here, took place August 4th with a 5-4 vote in favor of the developer when six votes were needed.
The industrial component could include data centers. Last month, Reno’s City Council voted against appealing the denial despite previously approving the rezoning.
This time though the body only needs a majority vote, with one of Reno’s representatives on the board council member Naomi Duerr probably a swing vote.
Other council members on that board, Brandi Anderson, Devon Reese and Kathleen Taylor, the latter two running for mayor, have all received donations from parties and individuals connected to the project.
