Did the Regional Plan Update anticipate the use of the Resort Recreation designation at this location?

The Regional Plan Update included two locations for the Resort Recreation designation at Edgewood and the Heavenly Ski Resort. A potential third allowance of the Resort Recreation designation was included in the December 2012 Lake Tahoe Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP, or 208 Plan).

Section 10.2 of the 208 Plan states the following: "Prior to January 1, 2017, and absent a WQMP amendment, the “Resort Recreation” land use designation shall in addition to including the Heavenly and Edgewood parcels, allow for no more than one additional area of a comparable size to be added to that designation. If the subdivision amendment procedures of the WQMP do not sunset after January 1, 2017, pursuant to Section G below, at that time the States will caucus in a manner similar to Section G to further address the 'Resort Recreation' designation. The Martis Valley West Parcel Specific Plan proposes to locate the third Resort Recreation designation within the 112.8 acres covered by the Area Plan, subject to Placer County and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency approval."
