Document Description
Tahoe Keys SMI, LLC (TKSMI) is proposing the redevelopment of the Tahoe Keys
Marina(TKM) in order to revitalize the TKM landside facilities and operations. The
Project would involve the demolition of 3 existing marina buildings, other ancillary
structures on the site, and existing parking lots and utilities. Landside redevelopment
would include new buildings, parking lots, entrances, and utilities (including upgraded
water connections to mains in Venice Drive East and Tahoe Keys Boulevard). Buildings would include an approximately 52,600-square-foot indoor boat storage facility with indoor water tanks, 3 units of workforce housing (to replace the 3 existing units that would be demolished as part of the Project), and space for restaurants, retail, concessions, and boat sales. The existing boat launch and gantry crane would be relocated, and the existing bulkhead that borders the lagoon would be replaced. A
significant element of the Project is bringing the site into compliance with water quality
best management practices (BMPs) and assisting in controlling aquatic invasive species (AIS).
