The Community Development Department guides the creation of livable and economically viable communities in Washoe County.  The Department prepares and implements the County's master plan, to include distinct plans for the varied communities within unincorporated Washoe County.  The master plan is implemented through review of development applications and through instituting and enforcing land use and business licensing codes.  The Department is also responsible for providing key support to the Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC).
