Brief Information about Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC)

TRI Center is a portion of the former Asamera Ranch, a 102,000-acre tract of private land owned by one of the project master developers, Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, LLC, comprising approximately 54% of the land area of Storey County.

Storey County is a sparsely populated rural Nevada county. Its small population is primarily centered in the Virginia City area, southwest of the project, which is not connected to the TRI Center by paved roads. Enclosed maps show the general location of the project, and the project area at a larger scale.

TRI Center currently consists of approximately 6,000 acres zoned for industrial use, and may expand in the future, subject to Storey County approval. TRI Center is intended to be a mixed-use, nonresidential development, consisting of a wide range of industrial, office and commercial businesses. The Conceptual Land Use map enclosed illustrates the plans for a portion of the project. Development of the project is guided by a development agreement between the master developers and the county, which incorporates the Development Handbook and the Storey County Zoning Ordinance.

The entire project is zoned "I-2 Heavy Industrial" under the zoning ordinance, which allows almost all types of industrial and commercial uses. The terms of the development agreement and the zoning ordinance allow maximum flexibility for land uses, but provide for a consistent, compatible development theme among the various land use possibilities in the actual project siting.

The project CC&Rs and this Handbook further refine the uses allowed in the development process. In the spirit of "performance zoning," any use that complies with the zoning and the CC&Rs, and any development plan which complies with the Development Handbook, is permitted to be developed.
