The Public Infrastructure (PI) Plan was first created through the 2019 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan update (see Policy PF 3). Regional Planning staff, together with jurisdictional and affected entity staff, determined that there was a need to advance infrastructure planning beyond what existed at the time (e.g., concurrency), and what was being considered through the 2019 update (e.g., region-wide infrastructure standards). Furthering the Region’s understanding of existing public infrastructure and services, as well as future investments, will allow TMRPA to refine the Regional Land Designations, and better support the decision-making process at the local jurisdictions, affected entities, the Regional Planning Commission (RPC) and Regional Planning Governing Board (RPGB).
Currently, 2019 Regional Plan Policy PF 1 – List of Facilities and Service Standards provides region-wide infrastructure standards for water, wastewater, flood control and stormwater drainage management, transportation, and schools. These five topic areas are specifically listed in the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 278.0274) as those to be addressed by the Regional Plan. The PI Plan will describe these topic areas in greater depth, together with the challenges the region faces for each.
