Placer County Board of Supervisors received a progress report last week about the Lake Tahoe Basin Community Plans.

Primary efforts include consolidating the nine current Tahoe Basin Plans with one overarching community plan and four local area plans.

In consolidating the existing community plans into a single policy document, the update is addressing planning documents developed 20 years ago by the county and the TRPA. The single document will be the overarching Tahoe Basin Community Plan.

The four consolidated 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

West Shore, which includes Sunnyside, Homewood and Tahoma.

The next steps will include preparation of the actual documents that will be used in the updated community plan. Staff will conduct a three-day public workshop in late June in Kings Beach. The focus will be on the beach and commercial core area behind it. Information gathered will be integrated into the policy document.

In addition, a meeting will also be conducted for the Greater Tahoe City plan area team on May 8 from 4-8pm at the Gaterkeeper’s museum, 130 West Lake Blvd., Tahoe City.

Meetings for the North Tahoe West and North Tahoe East planning area teams will be May 14. Both meetings will be at the same location and time, from 4-8pm at the North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 North Lake Blvd., Kings Beach.

The West Shore plan area team will meet May 16 from 5:30-7:30pm at the Placer County Tahoe City Offices, 775 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City.
