Town of Truckee River Revitalization Steering Committee
Have you heard about the Town of Truckee’s effort to re-envision, revitalize, and strengthen the health and wellness of the Truckee River? The River Revitalization Steering Committee (R2SC) was born out of the Truckee 2040 General Plan, with the goal of tackling the opportunity to revitalize both West and East River Street along the Truckee River corridor adjacent to Historic Downtown Truckee while also bringing the health of the river into the forefront, along with access and potential relocation of industrial uses. R2SC meets the first Tuesday of every month at Truckee Town Hall Council Chambers, and the meetings are open to the public. To learn more about this effort and follow along, check out the website.

 Placer County Board of Supervisors will conduct a public hearing at the above place and time to consider: (1) adoption of a resolution to repeal and replace the Tahoe Basin Area Plan (TBAP) in its entirety to amend Parts 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 4.3, 4.7 and 8.2 pertaining to economic sustainability and housing, (2 ) adoption of an ordinance to repeal and replace the TBAP Implementing Regulations in their entirety to amend Chapters 1, 2 and 3 for refinements to policy and code sections aimed at supporting workforce housing, and (3) adoption of an ordinance amending Placer County Code Chapter 12, Article 12.08, section 12.08.020 to remove outdated zoning area references, clarify where Countywide street improvements are required, and add single-family detached dwellings as subject to street improvement requirements to align with Tahoe Basin Area Plan pedestrian mobility goals. The proposed TBAP amendments refine policy and code sections aimed at supporting workforce housing, as well as encouraging lodging and mixed-use redevelopment in Town Centers.

Innovative Housing Solutions: Updates to Encourage Affordable and Workforce Housing

Lake Tahoe’s affordable housing crisis is growing despite increased public financing, land donations, and subsidies. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and housing partners in the basin are working to ensure affordable housing solutions can come from many directions. The agency is drafting policy amendments that would encourage private property owners and builders to contribute to the solutions while maintaining high environmental standards and continuing improvements to Lake Tahoe’s water quality.This public webinar will cover possible changes to TRPA height, density, and land coverage policies that would be available only for projects that are providing deed-restricted affordable housing

The Tahoe Basin Area Plan Amendments (TBAP) are back in front of the Placer County Planning Commission this Thursday, August 10th, at 11:00 a.m., at North Tahoe Events Center in Kings Beach. The TBAP Amendments were first introduced to the public in the Fall of 2022 to make redevelopment and housing more accessible and flexible in North Lake Tahoe.

Join MAP in requesting a revised Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement for the TBAP Amendments! Since December, we have waited for the addendum released last week, which is 16 whooping pages of opinions, to tell the community that no new impacts will be created with the proposed changes.
Not only is the conclusion shocking but Tahoe is not stuck in a time bubble of 2016, which is what the environmental analysis depends on, data and studies from seven years ago. Wake up, Tahoe’s conditions with population, visitors, traffic, and fire hazards have changed, in fact, they have become much worse, and those conditions must be considered for the TBAP Amendments. Attend in person or via Zoom and help MAP stand up for Tahoe.
