Letter: Questioning EDC zoning changes

To the community,

I’m wondering if Tahoe residents have been well informed about the El Dorado County General Plan and zoning changes in progress and how they might be impacted.

I’m from the west county and just recently discovered that 14,500 of the 37,000 parcels being changed are in Tahoe. We are told they are name changes only for alignment with the county’s zone district names. While I’m sure that is generally true, there are anomalies similar to what we’ve found in our area.

People up there need to know that the county is not going to inform them of changes as they would in the typical rezone process; it is up to residents to look into it themselves. Some of us here in the west county have had big surprises.

Here is the link to view proposed parcel changes. If they have any issues, it’s not too late to contact their supervisor, Sue Novasel.
