Document Description
In November 2016, the County certified the EIR for the Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan and approved the project. In November 2024, the County certified the Partially Revised EIR and approved the project, which was essentially the same as the version of the project approved in 2016. The applicant is currently proposing changes to the approved project. Most notably, the number of bedrooms that can be constructed in the Village would be reduced from 1,493 to 896 (a 40 percent reduction) and the commercial square footage would be reduced by 20 percent. In addition, the zoning for Specific Plan Lots 16 and 18 would be changed from Village Commercial-Neighborhood to Village-Forest Recreation. This would preclude lodging development previously proposed for these lots from occurring. Modifications to zoning in other parcels/lots, changes in allowable building heights, and other minor plan changes are also proposed. These project changes are the focus of the Addendum to the certified EIR.
The project would amend the Olympic Valley General Plan and Land Use Ordinance to comprehensively plan development of a hospitality and recreation-based, all-season mountain resort community located on 93.3 acres of land in the Olympic Valley. The project would be developed over an estimated 25-year buildout period. At buildout, the project allows for a maximum of 896 bedrooms within the main Village area and beds to accommodate a minimum of 200 employees on the East Parcel and/or in the main Village. The project would also allow for development of up to 242,000 gross square feet of new and replacement commercial, retail, and recreational land uses like those uses currently allowed under the OVGPLUO, including skier services, retail shopping, restaurants and bars, entertainment, and public and private recreation facilities. In addition, the project includes comprehensive stream restoration of Washeshu Creek
