8 Tourist Core Area Plan – Area Plan Highlights Commercial, tourist and mixed-use redevelopment Walkable and bikeable centers Connected transportation system Connect tourist destination to recreation facilities and opportunities. Consolidated zoning districts Uses existing community plan standards Promotes restoration through redevelopment Incorporates environmental safeguards

9 Tourist Core Area Plan – Area Plan Highlights Implements TMDL water quality projects Specific implementation strategies Quarterly and annual monitoring

10 Consolidated zoning districts Commercial/Tourist related zoning districts – Mixed-used – Uses – Development Standards – Design Standards Proposed Zoning Districts

11 Consistent with RTP Integrated system – Pedestrian sidewalks – Bike paths, lanes and routes. – Transit Connected – Residential areas – Recreation facilities Proposed Transportation Improvements

12 Access to recreation facilities Link facilities via transportation Locally and regionally connected Recreation

13 Majority of Area Plan is treated Proposed – US 50 – Rocky Point – Bijou Comm. Core – Enhanced Street Sweeping Water Quality Improvements

14 Public Comments  Land Use and Planning  Transportation  Environmental Thresholds

15 Land Use and Planning  Height  Proposed height standards are consistent with and is equal to or less than the RPU  Height standards  Must not project above forest canopy, ridgelines, or detract from the viewshed.  TRPA height findings and Scenic Quality findings  Height standards adjacent to residential areas

16 TRPA Regional Plan Height Standards

17 Proposed Area Plan Height Standards

18 Comparison of Comm. Plan Standards to Proposed Area Plan Standards -6’ 0’ +8’ -12’ +22’ +8’ 0’ +47’ +8’

19 Land Use and Planning  Preserving neighborhood character 25 feet 1:1 step back Discretionary Standards  Reduced height  Increased setback  Building orientation  Landscape buffering Mandatory Standard

20 Land Use and Planning  Permissible Use List  Use list updated to:  Remove developed campground from use list.  Propose new definition of “Small Scale Manufacturing” that promotes fine art or craftsman demonstration workshop of light industrial nature.

21  Land Coverage  62% of Area Plan is covered.  68% of coverage is located on Land Capability Class 5 through 7.  30% of coverage is located in mapped SEZ. Land Use and Planning

22 Existing Land Coverage

23 Existing Land Coverage in SEZs Priority SEZ Restoration Areas

24 Existing Land Coverage in LCC 5 - 7

25 Land Use and Planning  Land Coverage  Transfer of coverage to the TCAP for environmental redevelopment would potentially result in the retirement of 445,000 square feet of coverage.

26  Loop Road  TCAP does not to take a position on Loop Road.  Recommend revision: Policy T-1.1 Encourage the realignment modification of US Highway 50 to create a low speed main street through the TSC-C District. Policy T-1.5 The City shall participate with the TMPO, TTD, FHWA, NDOT, Caltrans, Douglas County, the State Parks of California and Nevada in the planning and implementation of the South Shore Community Revitalization Project. Transportation

27  Scenic Resources  Area Plan proposes to add three new scenic resources. Environmental Thresholds

28 Proposed Scenic Resources

29 Environmental Thresholds  BMP Compliance  City is responsible for all projects permitted under its existing MOU.  TRPA is responsible for all other projects and existing development.  City will continue to collaborate with TRPA on BMP compliance for commercial properties along US 50.

30  Environmental Targets  Environmental improvements primarily driven by private investments in properties.  Incentives provided by the Area Plan to increase rate of private property investment:  BMP compliance  Coverage reduction  Scenic and community character improvements  Infrastructure improvements  accessibility and convenience to alternative modes of transportation. Environmental Thresholds

31  TMDL  Bijou Comm. Core Project ($8 million)  Enhanced Street Sweeping  Fines Removal (1/3) Environmental Thresholds

32  TMDL – Policy NCR-3.4 Collaborate with Lahontan to update and refine the Pollutant Load Reduction Strategy for load reduction targets beyond the year 2016 and update the Pollutant Load Reduction Plan as necessary to achieve the Lake Tahoe TMDL load reduction targets. If applicable, update adopted Area Plans to incorporate projects and strategies of the Pollutant Load Reduction Plan beyond year 2016. Environmental Thresholds

33  Initial Study/Initial Environmental Checklist released on July 29 for 30 day review period.  Response to comments Environmental Analysis
