Background and Overview
In December 2011, Squaw Valley Real Estate, LLC submitted an application to Placer County seeking adoption of the "Village at Squaw Valley Specific Plan" which proposes to comprehensively plan development of 101.5 acres at the west end of Squaw Valley adjacent to the existing Village area. The mixed-use phased Specific Plan would develop resort-residential, visitor accommodations, commercial, health and well-being, and recreational uses as well as parking and other visitor amenities over an estimated 12 to 15-year plan area build-out. In order to approve the request, the County would need to certify an Environmental Impact Report and approve a General Plan Amendment to adopt the Specific Plan, approve large-lot and small-lot Tentative Subdivision Maps, and approve Conditional Use Permits and Design Review Permits before this project could be constructed as proposed. (See above link for information on the Specific Plan.)
