North Tahoe Preservation Alliance invites you.

We’ve heard from the pitch from TRPA, the County, Developers and special interests in plenty of forums.  This is a unique opportunity for those concerned with the urbanization of the North Shore and those who may have unanswered questions.  Do you have concerns about TRPA’s and Placer County’s proposed code changes and new attempts to tax residents/tourists?:

•  Increased Height (66’)
•  Density (3 units/lot)
• Coverage (reduced side and front setbacks allowing larger structures) 500’ long continuous walls
• Condos in the Town Center on SR 28
• Ridgeline development
• No parking requirement for multi-family units
• Food trucks next to competing businesses
• Lack of environmental cumulative analysis (13 projects currently on the books)
• No capacity analysis for the Tahoe basin (15 million visitors/yr and growing)
• Increased recreational pressure and demands (East shore trail etc/new 250 space parking lot at Hwy 50/SR28)
• Limitless Ski Area pass sales creating traffic gridlock.
• No real cumulative traffic analysis or mitigations (the Biltmore project alone will add 2880/cars/day)
• Inadequate reduction in the number of Short-Term Rentals (3900 currently allowed in Placer)
• No onsite workforce housing required of large employers (ski areas, Improvement Districts)
• Project permits that are continuously extended (endlessly) on favored TRPA projects (such as Tahoe Inn, Biltmore, Ferrari/Crown, Kings Beach Redevelopment) creating area blight and areas out of BMP conformance last 12 yrs.
•  The institutionalization of quasi-governmental groups such as the Prosperity Center (unelected layer of bureaucracy) are for development.  Their 7-7-7 plan which will require $7m/yr. from the public for transit projects.

  Hopefully we will answer most of your questions.  Give us your suggestions. Tell us what should be done.  Sign up for our emails, sign our petition on NTPAC.org.

  Let us know what you’d like to do to help.  There is a great cost to silence.

  Let’s promote sensible redevelopment that doesn’t harm the Lake or trap us in our homes.

  Otherwise in case of fire…WE’D ALL BETTER HAVE WINGS.
