Lake Tahoe Shorezone Ordinance Amendments

Lake Tahoe Shorezone Ordinance Amendments

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is preparing a new Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to consider the effects of the amended shorezone ordinances on development in the shorezone. The existing TRPA Code of Ordinances requires TRPA to reconsider location standards for piers, mooring buoys, boat ramps, floating docks and platforms once a study assessing the impacts resulting from the construction and use of structures on fish habitat and spawning areas in Lake Tahoe and the mouths of its tributaries have been completed. The EIS will include, as a substantial portion of the document, a cumulative impact analysis of all activities anticipated in the shorezone. The purpose of this is to disclose all forseeable impacts that could be attributable to reconsidering the location standards for certain shorezone structures and to disclose the cumulative impacts created by overall development in the shorezone.
