South Fernley Area Plan (MPA26002)

Fernley

Description

The city's own master plan amendment creating a long-range blueprint for South Fernley, keeping most of the area rural while designating spots for limited commercial, medium-density housing, a school site, parks, and future canal crossings.

Impact summary

It guides where growth can happen over decades — existing rural character is mostly preserved, but the medium-density spots near the Highlands worried neighbors who spoke against it.
