BACKGROUND
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).
