I. Executive Summary

Project Audacious: A Burning Man Project

Common Ground Urban Development is thrilled to present an offer in to the BID for Ownership
of Gateway Houses Offered for Relocation to Proposer Land -UNR. Project Audacious is a
Burning Man Project with a plan to move the 11 homes to the 360 Land Parcel for the education
center. The homes will be used as a shelter solution, for Burning Man Project’s educational
programs and temporary shelter for people visiting the center.

Common Ground Urban Development’s mission is to build inclusive equitable real estate
development projects that leverage the unrealized potential of distressed properties. Our practice
is highly collaborative with development strategies that have social impact and become an asset
to the user and the neighborhoods undergo the transformation process.

Common Ground is proposing to relocate 11 homes of the homes to parcel APN: 071-150-01 for
Burning Man Project 360 acres. Using the 10 Principles of Burning Man, we propose to relocate
the homes in partnership with the local community in Gerlach and Reno.

Burning Man Project is in support of the proposals to keep the homes in the City of Reno. In the
event that the homes can’t be kept within the City, we propose moving 11 of the homes to the
360 Land parcel. This proposal is intended to be the proposal of last resort, and if the other
proposals lack site control.

As a part of Common Ground’s approval process, keeping with Civic Responsibility, we propose
a community engagement plan that will ultimately result in the signing of a Community Benefits
Agreement with the City of Reno and Historic Preservation Commission.

Common Ground’s community engagement process will be radically inclusive and will provide
opportunities for engagement in the physical and digital worlds. We will provide opportunities
for engagement in the following areas:

1. Extensive community meeting that will give people the opportunity to vote on the plan
2. Engagement in place, where Common Ground will use online platforms to capture the opinions
of people who are often left out of the decision-making process.

Cost, plus with a Guaranteed Maximum Price with a cost savings provision.

● Condition that the land will be left in upon the homes relocation

We propose submitting the full $5,000 per house to University of Nevada, Reno. Common
Ground Urban Development is under contract to manage the relocation of the homes to 360.
Common Ground proposes to pay the fee in lieu of work. The fee will allow for the developer of
the site to prepare it in the way necessary for future work. This is of course negotiable and we’d
be willing to prepare the land with a clear scope of work.

● In celebration of this opportunity, we propose conducting a Historic Home Parade as a part of
the relocation process and the path of travel to Burning Man Project 360: This is the preferred
route but will be confirmed with the house movers.

● Project Audacious, Burning Man Project 360 is located in Washoe County

Once the homes are placed in their locations, we’ll use the U.S Secretary of Interior’s Standard:
Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property
through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its
historical, cultural, or architectural values. The Rehabilitation Standards acknowledge the need to alter
or add to a historic building to meet continuing or new uses while retaining the building’s historic
character.
