TRPA ready to engage public in Regional Plan update

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency has scheduled a series of public meetings and workshops to gather input on the Regional Plan update draft and environmental documents being released later this month.

The plan update includes five draft documents which will be released at TRPA’s Governing Board meetings on April 25 at The Chateau in Incline Village and April 26. The draft documents include the updated plan and corresponding environmental impact statement along with TRPA’s code of ordinances documents, and the Regional Transportation Plan and related environmental impact statement. The 2011 Threshold Evaluation Report, Lake Tahoe’s environmental report card, is also being released at this time.

At the April meeting the board will decide on the length of time for public comment on the draft environmental impact statement — 60, 75, or 90 days.

The public meeting and workshop are as follows:

April 25, 9am: TRPA Governing Board meeting, The Chateau, 955 Fairway Blvd., Incline Village.

April 26, 9:30am: TRPA Governing Board meeting, TRPA office, 128 Market St., Stateline, NV.
