Community Information

This community is the result of population growth over time in Nevada, and subsequently Carson City. With the increase in population, the need for more accommodations such as housing arises. Thus the community came to be. The age of housing in the community varies due to this. This relates to the interests outlined in the Environmental category. Because of the varied age, there is varied utility line age, which needs an update due to the probability of earthquakes.

The community is located right on top of some fault lines. Some of the fault lines actually cut through some of the community's structures. This poses a need for some kind of increased service to the area in the event of an earthquake due to damage related to ground rupture; Also known as displacement. Please note that western Nevada has a very high seismic danger.

This community has a shared policy concern about the development of the nearby rural area. The community has interest in preserving their “ruralness” by limiting development in the relative area. This includes the possible “Vintage at Kings Canyon” project in the nearby former Anderson Ranch area.
