Explanation

Transit-oriented development (TOD) zoning concentrates higher-density residential and mixed-use development near transit stops and corridors to reduce car dependency, increase housing supply, and support public transit ridership. Nevada's legislative efforts to encourage TOD reflect the state's housing affordability crisis — particularly in Las Vegas and Reno. By requiring cities to allow denser housing near transit, the state pre-empts exclusionary zoning that blocks apartments and condos in transit-accessible locations. This is a growing trend in Nevada land use policy.
