APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive this informational workshop and provide feedback and direction to staff.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 5, 2019, Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved funding for a
project for the design and development of a Facilities Master Plan. JK Architecture and
Engineering (JKAE) was awarded the contract for the project.
JKAE developed nine (9) facility development concepts and, in collaboration with
District staff, performed an analysis to identify two viable development concept options,
Options D2 and E3 — Option 2.
Challenges with each of the selected development concepts and site locations were
identified with each option. In addition to existing challenges, new challenges and
considerations have been identified. Other considerations include the Town of Truckee
updated General Plan, local land use considerations, CARB Advanced Clean Fleet
adoption in 2023, ZEV charging or hydrogen fueling infrastructure, rooftop solar
photovoltaic installation, battery storage solutions, and micro-grid system integration
opportunities.
At the February 7, 2024, Board of Directors Meeting, staff presented an informational
workshop to provide an update of the Facility Master Plan project history and current
DRAFT status. The Board provided feedback from the workshop presentation and
discussion, which included interest in continuing to work with JKAE to bring the DRAFT
2020 Facilities Master Plan up to date to 2024 building code and development
requirements, with consideration to alternative opportunities, and current and future
regulatory constraints. The Board of Directors also provided feedback for staff to
explore alternative properties for potential relocation and provide development concept
options.

At the April 3, 2024, Board of Directors meeting, the Board of Directors authorized the
General Manager to contract with JKAE to update the 2020 Facility Master Plan Draft to
the 2024 building code and development requirements with consideration to alternative
opportunities, and current and future regulatory constraints, as well as consider a third
development concept option considering relocation of the District to a new property
sufficiently sized to develop a new campus to accommodate all District operations and
provide future growth opportunities.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
For the November 6, 2024, Board of Director Workshop, JKAE provides a Facility
Master Plan 2024 Update with consideration to preferred Concept D2 and Concept E3 -
Option 2, from the DRAFT 2020 Facility Master Plan updated to 2024, and will include
three (3) new concept options (Schemes 1, 2, 3) which reflect Preliminary Development
Study concept options considering the development of a new, larger property.
• Development Concept 01 — Reflects a consolidated central campus where all
operations, administration, customer service, support services, and warehouse
inventory can be achieved on a single property. Open spaces are shared, and common
area program blocks are clustered in proximity. Primary circulation pattern loops
around centralized program blocks
• Development Concept 02 — Reflects a consolidated central campus where all
operations, administration, customer service, support services, and warehouse
inventory can be achieved on a single property. Program blocks are placed in a
sequential linear pattern along a common open area, with primary circulation pattern
loops around linear program blocks.
• Development Concept 03 — Reflects a split campus with the repurpose of the current
location at Donner Pass Road and creating a new supplemental facility for operations.
Primary public-based administrative functions remain on the current main campus
property on Donner Pass Road. Utility operations and the remainder of utility
programming are relocated to a separate new site. This concept includes demolition of
an existing warehouse and operations building. Excess land at the current Donner
Pass Road location was then converted to other uses to support the community.
