Placer County has begun the process of updating its Tahoe Community/General Plans. The County’s Update will be coordinated with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s (TRPA) Regional Plan Update (RPU). Regulatory agency organizational chart
What is a Community Plan?
A community plan is a comprehensive, long-term general plan for specific communities within governmental jurisdiction boundaries. This plan conveys the fundamental values used to guide a community’s physical development, the “constitution for development.” California State Law requires that cities and counties prepare and adopt a community plan every 20 years. A community plan must include these seven required elements: Land Use, Housing, Circulation, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. Community Plans within the Tahoe Basin must be consistent with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s (TRPA) Regional Plan Update (RPU).
How many Community/General Plans currently exist within the Placer County portion of the Tahoe Basin?
The County currently maintains nine Community/General Plans, including:
-
West Shore General Plan
-
Tahoe City Area General Plan
-
North Tahoe Area General Plan
-
Tahoe City Community Plan
-
Carnelian Bay Community Plan
-
Tahoe Vista Community Plan
-
Kings Beach Community Plan
-
Kings Beach Industrial Community Plan
-
North Stateline Community Plan
In an effort to develop more cohesive, user-friendly Planning documents, staff has explored a modified format to the Tahoe Community/General Plan Updates. Staff has proposed to consolidate the nine Plans into a single over-arching Community Plan policy document with four sub-planning areas
proposed map each with their own zoning ordinances and design standards specific to each Plan Area. TRPA has expressed concurrence with this approach and the County’s Board of Supervisors has directed staff to proceed with the modified format.
Project Timeline
How does the public become involved in this process?
