A recent note from the Mono lake Committee details a large development that is planned and approved for the area near the Mobil Station and Mono Lake Overlook at the Hwy 120/395 intersection.
This would spread the existing light pollution leftward from what's seen in this 2015 photo, and the large housing and hotel development would be visible in daylight as well from South Tufa.
The public comment period is open only a few more days, until 8/21.
I added below in the comments the wider panorama from this 2015 image, so you can see what brings night photographers to the Eastern Sierra, the dark sky resource that is at stake!
