TEMPLATE for REGIONAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORTING (Reporting Period: January – December, 2019) TEMPLATE FOR REGIONAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORTING (Reporting Period: January – December, 2019) The following items are general themes found in the 2019 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan, adopted on October 10, 2019. The Plan can be found on our website at tmrpa.org by clicking the “Regional Plan” link on the homepage. If you need any assistance accessing or acquiring the 2019 Truckee Meadows Regional Plan), please contact us at 775-321-8385. Please address the following topics as they pertain to the entity that the Annual Report is being provided for: A. POPULATION GROWTH (PG) Chapter 3 of the Regional Plan, Section 1: Population Growth includes policies that address population forecasting, the use of TMRPA forecasts by local jurisdictions and affected entities for planning, and strategies by local government jurisdictions to support affordable housing. Please provide information regarding how your local government or entity has affected, impacted, or implemented the policies found in Chapter 3, Section 1 of the Regional Plan (policies PG 1 – 4). The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) owns and operates the Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and the Reno-Stead Airport (RTS). RTAA is a quasi-municipal corporation that was created by the Nevada State Legislature and began operation on July 1, 1978. The RTAA is an independent entity that is not part of any other unit of local government and does not use local property or sales tax revenue to fund its operation. The mission of the RTAA is to maintain and grow aviation services and facilities, as part of the global transportation system, to transport people and goods to benefit the region, while also being financially self-sufficient. The RTAA is an affected entity, as defined by Nevada Revised Statutes, due to its role as a regional agency having responsibility for planning or providing transportation facilities, specifically aviation transportation facilities. Unlike most affected entities, the RTAA cannot adequately plan for its transportation facilities using the Washoe County Consensus Forecast. There is limited correlation between population growth and airport activity. Increases and decreases in passenger volumes, the number of aircraft operations, and tons of cargo are impacted by current events and economics more than population. Additionally, airport catchment areas do not follow county lines; Washoe County represents only a portion of the population served by the two RTAA airports. As a result, while the RTAA takes the Consensus Forecast into account, the most accurate forecast for airport demand levels and corresponding facility requirements must consider local, regional, national, and international demand for cargo, passenger airline, military, and general aviation activities. In addition, airport forecasts consider the infrastructure of not just a single airport but also the infrastructure of the entire aviation system and must be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use in airport facility planning. The RTAA uses either the FAA’s annual forecast, called the Terminal Area Forecast (TAF), or another FAA-approved forecast for facility planning purposes. FAA-approved forecasts consider historic activities (e.g. enplanements, operations, based aircraft), socioeconomic data (e.g. income, catchment areas, employment), cost of flying (e.g. yield, fare), and operational factors (e.g. seats per aircraft, load factors) to generate projects. For RNO, the RTAA is currently using an FAA-approved forecast that was created specifically for the 2018 RNO Airport Master Plan Update. For RTS, the RTAA is currently using the FAA TAF. The summary chart for the 2018 RNO Airport Master Plan forecast is provided below: Aviation Forecasts, 2018 RNO Master Plan Update The summary chart for the RTS Terminal Area Forecast is provided below: RTS Itinerant Operations Local Operations Total Operations Based Aircraft General Aviation Military Total Civil Total 2018 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2019 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2020 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2025 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2030 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2035 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2040 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 2045 18,600 8,700 27,300 30,000 30,000 57,300 93 FAA Terminal Area Forecast, Reno-Stead Airport The aviation forecasts above are used by the RTAA in the planning of airport facilities. More information about airport facility projects can be found in Section C Public Facilities and Services. B. REGIONAL FORM (RF) Chapter 3 of the Regional Plan, Section 2: Regional Form includes policies that manage growth in the Truckee Meadows region. These policies address where urban and suburban growth should and should not occur in the future through the use of the Truckee Meadows Service Area (TMSA), Regional Land Designations (i.e. Tiers), and the Rural Area outside of the TMSA. The RF section describes the priority hierarchy for growth, with an emphasis on growing within our core areas before we open up new lands on the fringe. Please provide information regarding how your local government or entity has affected, impacted, or implemented the policies found in the Chapter 3, Section 2 of the Regional Plan (policies RF 1 – 11). The RTAA owns over 6,500 acres in the region. Nearly all of the RTAA-owned land is considered federally obligated and reserved for aviation-related facilities. All existing aviation transportation facilities at both RNO and RTS have been constructed on Tier 1 land. A limited amount of RTAA-owned land is available for third-party development, subject to FAA approval. Examples include non-aviation development (e.g. hotels, commercial, or industrial uses) and private aviation development (e.g. aircraft hangars, commercial general aviation facilities, and air cargo buildings). All such development at RNO and RTS occurs on designated Tier 1 land. Below is a summary of recent third-party development on airport-owned land. Reno-Tahoe International Airport: The RTAA has approximately 250 acres of Tier 1 vacant land at RNO. Some of the only undeveloped, large acreage available within the McCarran Boulevard loop, this land is in close proximity to the Virginia Street tourist/convention center corridor. RTAA-owned land has zoning compatible with aviation, industrial, and commercial development. Although water rights and Regional Road Impact Fees for RNO developments are available to encourage third-party investment, developers often find land without FAA-required reviews and approvals less encumbered. RNO Gateway Site: In November 2018, JMA Ventures began construction on an Aloft Hotel at the corner of Plumb Lane and Terminal Way, north of the Hyatt Place Hotel. The Aloft Hotel, part of the Marriott brand, will be the first Aloft property in the region. This stylish boutique hotel was constructed in 2019 with an anticipating grand opening in spring 2020. Due to COVID-19, the grand opening was delayed. JMA Ventures has also secured a lease option for the remaining RTAA-owned vacant land south of the Hyatt Place Hotel. Preliminary plans include a Class-A office building and a sit-down restaurant. Aloft Reno Hotel, Reno-Tahoe International Airport RNO General Aviation Mill/Rock Development: In late 2019, the RTAA Board of Trustees approved a development proposal by Stellar Aviation to design, construct, finance, own, operate, market, and maintain a general aviation campus, located at the northeast corner of RNO, bounded by Mill Street and Rock Boulevard. The development proposal was accepted after a year-long public Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The phased development would allow Stellar Aviation to operate fixed base operator services from existing RTAA-owned buildings, while they gradually construct new facilities on the vacant parcels. New facilities would include a mixture of small and large hangars, a new fixed base operator terminal, similar to Atlantic Aviation’s terminal on Rock Boulevard, and fuel facilities. Construction on the new Stellar Aviation facilities is still to be determined. RNO Consolidated Rental Car Facility (ConRAC) Development: Currently, passengers pick up and return their rental cars from the first floor of the public parking garage in close proximity to baggage claim. As confirmed in the 2018 RNO Airport Master Plan Update, rental car operations need more space. In late 2018, the rental cars operating at RNO contracted with a private developer, Conrac Solutions, to study, design, construct, finance, maintain, and operate a large consolidated rental car facility at RNO. Conrac Solutions has constructed a number of airport rental car facilities. In 2019, Conrac Solutions completed a feasibility study which identified a preferred development concept that includes a new three-level structure, similar to a parking garage, for rental car operations, new fueling, maintenance, and repair facilities, and an expansion of the existing airport loop road. Design for the new consolidated rental car facility began in early 2020. The feasibility study and the design effort is funded by Customer Facility Charge (CFC) fees which are user fees assessed on each rental car transaction day. Construction on the consolidated rental car facility development will begin no earlier than 2021. Proposed ConRAC Facility, First Floor, Reno-Tahoe International Airport The RTAA continues to work with third-party developers interested in the other vacant lands surrounding RNO including 100 acres in the southwest quadrant of the airport (air cargo development) and 45 acres south of McCarran Boulevard (industrial and/or light commercial development). Reno-Stead Airport: The RTAA has over 3,100 acres of Tier 1 vacant land at RTS which could be opened up for airport-compatible non-aviation related development. These North Valleys properties have zoning compatible with aviation, industrial, and commercial development, including large acreage (>50 acres) parcels of industrial-zoned land.

    CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT Confidential Position Specification Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority President & Chief Executive Officer March 2020 CONFIDENTIAL POSITION SPECIFICATION Position President & Chief Executive Officer Company Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Location Reno, Nevada Reporting Relationship Reports to the Board of Trustees Website https://www.renoairport.com COMPANY BACKGROUND The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (“the Authority”, “RTAA”, or “the airport”) is the owner and operator of Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and Reno-Stead Airport (RTS), a general aviation facility. The RTAA is an independent entity that is not part of any other unit of local government and does not use local property or sales tax revenue to fund its operation. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees, operates as a business, and receives no local tax dollars. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport is a very important asset to the region, with the 4.4 million passengers going through the airport in 2019 (66th busiest in the United States), bringing $3.2 billion in economic impact to the region. The Authority employs approximately 280 direct airport staff and over 2,400 other staff work on airport premises for various tenants and other companies. RNO is located just five minutes from downtown Reno, therefore, it is literally and figuratively at the heart of the community and only 40 minutes from some of the finest ski resorts and outdoor recreation in the world. The airport makes the all-important first and last impression on passengers coming and going from the region. The Airport truly plays a vital role for the hotel casinos, ski resorts, golf courses, the University of Nevada, and a growing restaurant scene and high-tech business district.

    University of Nevada, Reno The Biggest Little Trailer Park: Planning, Waste, and Trailer Housing in Sun Valley, Nevada, 1938-1976 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Jonathan Miles Cummins Dr. C. Elizabeth Raymond / Dissertation Advisor May, 2017 Copyright by Jonathan Miles Cummins 2017 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by JONATHAN MILES CUMMINS Entitled The Biggest Little Trailer Park: Planning, Waste, And Trailer Housing In Sun Valley, Nevada, 1938-1976 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Meredith Oda, Ph.D., Committee Member William Rowley, Ph.D., Committee Member Carolyn White, Ph.D., Committee Member Paul Starrs, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of Sun Valley, Nevada, from 1938 (at the signing of the Small Tract Act) to 1976, the year when the era of unregulated and unplanned use of trailers came to an end (at the signing of the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1976). Sun Valley is a case study in land use and policy, planning and non-planning, various waste problems, and in the use and benefits of trailer housing. The case of Sun Valley fits into the broader contexts of suburbanization and development in the western United States. As such, the history of Sun Valley suggests that there is a complex layer of regional history that has yet been unexplored.
