Developer says community outreach underway for vacant gas-station site at 22309 Main Street
Summary
A developer representing the Ordon Company told the Carson City Planning Commission the owner is conducting neighborhood outreach about a proposed family-style restaurant at a long-vacant service station at 22309 Main Street.
John Edmond, who identified himself as owner of Edmond Group and representative for the Ordon Company, told the Carson City Planning Commission that the company is beginning community outreach about a proposed redevelopment of a vacant gas-station site at 22309 Main Street.
Edmond said the site operated as a gas station from 1968 until 2012 and that “all the soil was remediated.” He told commissioners the property has been marketed for about 12 years and that interest has included convenience stores, car washes and electric-vehicle charging stations, but that parcel “is too small for most retail uses.”
Edmond said the team is starting community contact with live phone calls, door‑to‑door outreach and a mailed notice going to nearby residences and property owners. He invited commissioners to a neighborhood meeting and said a website and email sign-up are available to receive updates. “We want to be transparent and open and communicate with folks about what we hope to do as we move through the process,” Edmond said.
Edmond described the prospective use as a “family casual dining restaurant” and said the outreach is intended to gather both support and concerns before formal land-use applications are filed. He noted his colleague, described as the firm’s principal manager, was attending a community town hall in another district that evening.
No action was taken by the commission; the remarks occurred during the meeting’s oral communications/public comment period, when the commission is not permitted to take action on nonagendized items. Edmond asked only to inform the commission and community of the outreach and invited commissioners to the neighborhood meeting.
The transcript records Edmond saying notices were sent to properties within “1,500 square feet,” which is inconsistent with typical neighborhood‑mailing practice; the developer characterized those mailings as targeted to nearby residents and property owners. The commission did not provide further details or endorse the proposal.
