Reno considers new truck stop ordinance
A second hearing specifying where future truck stops should be in Reno tentatively is scheduled before the Reno City Council on Dec. 12.
The council voted 6-0 late Wednesday to approve a first reading of an ordinance defining what truck stops are and where they could be built.
The ordinance would require a minimum of a 10 acres, fewer than 200 truck parking spots and industrial zoning with a special-use permit.
Nearly 50 people spoke to the Council, many from the McQueen-area of northwest Reno.
The ordinance stemmed from their opposition to a Flying J Inc. proposed truck stop on 48-acres south of the Robb Drive interchange at Interstate 80.
