February 24 City Life article:
This is the most recent article on the issue from City Life Magazine. This isn’t over. The property is still zoned rural, and Rhodes still has to convince the county that high density is more appropriate for the canyon, and defy all the reasons for the county and state’s determination that it wasn’t in the first place. City zoning in the canyon would not only ruin the Red Rock experience, the amount of infrastructure and blasting required for high density development would physically alter it forever.
But who cares about Red Rock? On the one hand, it seems so crazy-stupid-illogical, we shouldn’t even have to worry about it, but on the other hand, as someone said during the interview, the county has never met a development it didn’t like.
Even still, I am hopeful that next time the county will stand up for the people and the future of the canyon, over the profit of one developer.
