Land Use Planning

State Land Use Planning Agency

The State Land Use Planning Agency (SLUPA) develops and distributes planning information to local governments and other agencies and represents the state on a wide variety of federal land management activities. In some cases, these activities are coordinated with the governor's office.

State Land Use Planning Advisory Council

The State Land Use Planning Advisory Council (SLUPAC -NRS 321.740) is the only Governor-appointed council that has a county commissioner representative from each of Nevada’s seventeen counties as well as the Nevada Association of Counties (NACO).  SLUPAC advises the Administrator of the Division of State lands on the development and distribution to cities and counties of information useful to land use and natural resources planning and advises the State Land Use Planning Agency regarding the development of plans and statements of policy.  These activities are closely coordinated with the Governor’s Office.

Nevada State Clearinghouse

Authorized by gubernatorial executive order in 1989, the Nevada State Clearinghouse, within the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, informs Executive Branch agencies of significant federal projects and policy initiatives that affect our state.  The Clearinghouse has Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Federal agencies to ensure that the consultation requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are met.
