SLT planning commissioners disagree with council

By Kathryn Reed

The South Lake Tahoe Planning Commission met Friday morning to discuss revising the proposed redevelopment area known as Project Area 2.

There was little discussion. The feeling was that if the area from Al Tahoe Boulevard to Harrison Avenue were not included, the businesses along there would be shortchanged.

The council at a meeting earlier this month had voted to leapfrog the redevelopment area. Policy required the matter go back to the commissioners.

The planning commissioners voted 5-0 against the council’s idea. Included in the motion was to exclude the five parcels El Dorado County believes belong to them and not the city.

Redevelopment Director Gene Palazzo gave the presentation.

No one from the public spoke.

The issue goes back to the City Council on May 4. It will be on the agenda for 10am.
