NRS 278.0265 requires that Regional Planning Commission members must receive at least 12 hours of training related to land use planning and Chapter 241 of NRS, which entails meetings of State and local agencies. New members must complete training in Chapter 241 of NRS. The following are resources that can be used towards the required 12 hours of training, as adopted by the Regional Planning Governing Board.
The core resource that TMRPA staff has developed are training modules. These modules consist of a training presentation given to RPC members as well as reading materials and concepts from the Regional Plan. These modules can be found below.
Additionally, we have also provided required readings for RPC training, as well as other optional materials. If you attend a land-use planning related event or have other materials that you believe may qualify for training hours please reach out to TMRPA staff to confirm and approve the event and/or additional materials for your hours.
