Public meetings to be held after release of Tahoe Valley Area Plan Initial Study

A preliminary environmental report has been completed on the Tahoe Valley Area Plan and is ready for public input.

This report is created so the agencies developing the plan can determine whether a nEnvironmental Impact Report (EIR), a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or a Negative Declaration is required for a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.

The Tahoe Valley Area Plan will establish goals, policies and implementation strategies for providing specific land use guidance within the plan’s boundary. It would encourage a mixed-use land use pattern (commercial, public service, open space, tourist and residential) and concentrated development conditions through the use of incentives to promote revitalization to improve its aging infrastructure, provide for improved recreation access, diversify commercial retail needs for visitors and residences in a setting that is a transit-, bicycle-, and pedestrian-oriented setting.

Stateline, NV 89449
