Douglas County, NV – Douglas County is embarking on the preparation of the Tahoe Douglas Area Plan (TDAP) for the Tahoe Township of Douglas County within the Tahoe Basin, outside of the existing South Shore Area Plan boundary. The County is inviting the public to participate in shaping the vision for the future of this unique area of Lake Tahoe.
The goal of the TDAP effort is to implement a long-term community vision while aligning with the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan. The plan will include goals and policies that:
- Implement the Regional Plan at the community level
- Simplify permitting and streamline environmental review, where appropriate
- Allow the County to manage land use policies and decisions that reflect community needs
- Provide opportunities for deed-restricted affordable, moderate, and achievable housing
A key objective of this planning effort is to develop an Area Plan that meets the current development standards for deed-restricted housing adopted by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) Governing Board in December 2023.
What is the TDAP?
The Tahoe Douglas Area Plan will guide future development and redevelopment within the Tahoe Region of Douglas County (see attachment). The plan will:
- Assist in achieving and maintaining TRPA’s Environmental Threshold Standards
- Implement the policy direction of both the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan and the Douglas County Master Plan
- Serve as a component of the Regional Plan once adopted
Adoption of the TDAP will replace or revise the existing Douglas County plans, maps, and ordinances originally developed to implement the 1987 Regional Plan. It will also replace the Round Hill Community Plan and 30 Plan Area Statements (PASs), including PASs 057, 058, 059, 060, 061, 062, 063, 064, 065, 066, 067, 068, 069, 070A, 070B, 072, 073, 074, 075, 077, 078, 079, 080, 081, 082, 083, 084, 086, and 088.
