Placer County officials to discuss plans for Tahoe

Placer County is having a meeting about the Tahoe Basin Community Plan on Nov. 28 at Granlibakken in Tahoe City from 4-8pm.

Placer County has consolidated its nine plans into a single policy document with four planning areas. A team composed of community members is working on issues germane to each area. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guidelines.

The four planning areas are:

North Tahoe East, which covers Kings Beach and the Stateline community;

Greater Tahoe City, which includes Tahoe City, Tahoe City Gateway, Lake Forest, and Dollar Hill;

North Tahoe West, which includes Carnelian Bay and Tahoe Vista; and

The West Shore, which includes Sunnyside, Homewood and Tahoma.

Attending the November meeting will be the community design consultants Dyett & Bahtia who will work with each team. The consultant has put together draft zoning district standards for each team. These standards are reflective of the work that the teams have done to date.
