Board of Supervisors approves Tahoe Basin Area Plan amendments

 

Seeking to generate economic investment and spur environmentally beneficial redevelopment in North Lake Tahoe, the Placer County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 31 unanimously approved a set of amendments that would allow revisions to the 2017 Tahoe Basin Area Plan.

The amendments are minor cleanups aimed at accelerating the production and supply of affordable housing in the North Lake Tahoe area while simultaneously enhancing economic vitality and promoting small-scale commercial redevelopment in both the Kings Beach and Tahoe City town centers. The amendments do not conflict with TRPA scenic or environmental standards and current thresholds. Nor do the amendments increase density standards, increase carrying capacity or increase building height. READ MORE

Parking restrictions now in effect east of Emigrant Gap

 

Annual winter parking restrictions in the county’s higher elevations are now in effect until May 1, 2024. Parking along county-maintained roadways east of Emigrant Gap (i.e. North Lake Tahoe, Serene Lakes, Olympic Valley, and Alpine Meadows) will be prohibited during this time, due to snowplow operations.

Compliance will help avoid damage to parked vehicles as well as snow removal equipment and, most importantly, will prevent delays to snow removal operations. Adhering to these restrictions even during mild weather is important as snow maintenance operations may still be taking place. READ MORE
