El Dorado County launches new planning effort in the Tahoe Basin
El Dorado County is requesting public input while it develops the Tahoe El Dorado (TED) Area Plan. The TED Area Plan is a long-term planning document that will update and incorporate the Meyers Area Plan and other communities in the Tahoe Basin area of the County. The density, look, and character of a community are defined by a variety of land use planning documents. In the Tahoe Basin, land use falls under the El Dorado County Zoning Ordinance and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s Regional Plan. Currently, the land use policies and zoning designations in some areas conflict with each other. This creates confusion about what is allowed and what can be built on these properties. Conflicting land use policies constrain new projects on those sites.
