The housing development will be built on 81 acres east of Damonte Ranch High School, according to a report by FOX11 News of Reno.
Some of those opposing the project were concerned about the impact on wild horses.
Given the current stocking rate of approximately ten animals per thousand acres, the development would displace slightly less than one horse.
A fence will be built around the community to keep the horses out.
