Reno Master Plan establishes Downtown Mixed-Use and Casino Entertainment districts with overlay rules requiring gaming licenses, hotel-tower height bonuses, and pedestrian-oriented frontages along Virginia Street.
Reno's ReImagine Reno Master Plan and Title 18 zoning code create Downtown Mixed-Use, Casino Entertainment, and University District zones. Casino Entertainment overlay along the Virginia Street spine permits gaming uses subject to NRS 463 state gaming licensure plus Reno restricted/non-restricted gaming privileges. Building heights up to 200 feet allowed with hotel-casino bonus. Ground floor must be active-use frontage; surface parking lots disfavored. UNR-area Mixed-Use district near campus permits higher residential densities. Specific plans cover Midtown, 4th Street corridor, and West Reno redevelopment areas.
Operating gaming or hotel-casino without zoning conformance and gaming privilege violates Title 18 and NRS 463; civil fines up to $1,000 daily plus license suspension.
