The fight for Mogul continues.
Important meeting for Mogul residents
ZONING IS UP FOR DISCUSSION
Tuesday, July 12th
Washoe Board of County Commissioners
Washoe County Building
1001 East 9th Street
AGENDA LINK
Showing up in person will make the biggest difference. If you are out of town, please send your message to 311washoe@washoecounty.gov. Also, Alexis Hill is our representative and voted against our side at the June 21st meeting. Please reach out to her ahill@washoecounty.gov.
A link to the agenda will be posted when it's available.
Our concerns:
1. ZONING - This land has been zoned industrial since the 1980s but in the meantime Mogul has become RESIDENTIAL. That plot of land should be zoned appropriately. What are our suggestions?
2. SAFETY - The interchange under the highway is too outdated to manage additional truck traffic without threatening both pedestrians and resident drivers.
3. SAFETY - The on-ramps to I-80 are too short for trucks to reach acceptable speeds before merging.
4. HISTORICAL MARKERS - This plot of land has historical significance and that should be included in any plan to develop the land.

On Tuesday, June 21st, the Board of County commissioners voted 3:1 in favor of S3 development and the grading permit on Tuesday.
Their main argument was that it was only a grading permit, not a proposed development.
Alexis Hill, Kitty Jung, and Bob Lucey voted pro developer with Jeanne Herman voting against.
We are working on plans for our next step. If you have information or ideas, please email mogulneighborhoodassociation@gmail.com.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Mogul Neighborhood Association (MNA) is the protection and preservation of the quality of life for all the residents of the Mogul neighborhood of Washoe County, Nevada. To these ends, the MNA strives to promote infrastructure and development which is appropriate and compatible with the Truckee River Corridor, and which considers the unique character of our community. Our vision of Mogul is based upon creating and sustaining a livable community, one that is respectful of public safety, open space, outdoor recreation, history, culture, natural resources, and neighborhood continuity/connectivity for the current and future generation - not just for residents of Mogul - but for all of the people of our region.
Update: There is (or will be) a new owner of the large site south of I-80 at the Mogul Exit, S3, which is owned by Blake Smith. Click to access S3's website to see their other projects around our area. We have concerns about the proposed building and use, and we have further concerns about whether the project will change to a heavier use once construction has started.
