Tahoe Basin Area Plan and Notice of Preparation for Environmental Document Available for Public Review
After three years of community meetings, citizen advisory group meetings, public comments, revisions and coordination with other agencies, on Wednesday Placer County released a public review draft of the Tahoe Basin Area Plan. Along with the plan, the county provided the public notice of preparation for an environmental impact document for two projects: the Placer County Tahoe Basin Area Plan and Tahoe City Lodge pilot project.
The Tahoe Basin Area Plan is a land use document guiding growth, land development, and natural resource management in Placer County’s portion of the Lake Tahoe Basin for the next 20 years. The Tahoe City Lodge pilot project is a proposed project in Tahoe City that includes the redevelopment of the “Henrikson” site northeast of the Tahoe City “Y” with new tourist accommodations and amenities, as well as renovations to the Tahoe City Golf Course clubhouse.
As part of the Area Plan, the Tahoe City Lodge project is being analyzed to see if it can be built under the new regulations and incentives provided by the Area Plan. By analyzing the Tahoe City Lodge pilot project, the county will determine the feasibility for that type of project. The county’s intent is to explore how the new regulations and incentives in the Tahoe Basin Area Plan can help to achieve Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) environmental thresholds, foster environmental redevelopment and promote revitalization in the county’s North Tahoe communities.
Release of the documents begins a 60-day public comment period where interested parties can submit comments, questions and concerns about the documents. Those submissions will then be considered when preparing a draftenvironmental document.
The Placer County Tahoe Basin Area Plan covers Placer County’s portion of the Lake Tahoe Basin encompassing about 72 square miles. That area includes the communities of Kings Beach/Stateline, Tahoe City, Carnelian Bay, Dollar Point, Sunnyside, Homewood, Tahoe Vista, and Tahoma. The Tahoe City Lodge pilot project is located at 255 and 265 North Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City, and includes portions of the Tahoe City Golf Course.
