  • Town centers contain most of the Region\u2019s non-residential services and have been identified as a significant source of sediments and other contaminants that continue to enter Lake Tahoe. Town centers are targeted for redevelopment in a manner that improves environmental conditions, creates a more sustainable and less auto-dependent development pattern and provides economic opportunities in the Region. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • The Regional Center includes a variety of land uses in the core of South Lake Tahoe, including the Gondola and base lodge facilities for Heavenly Ski Area. Development patterns in the Regional Center have been and should continue to be more intensive that town centers and less intensive that the High Density Tourist District. Older development within the Regional Center is a significant source of sediment and other water contaminants. The Regional Center is targeted for redevelopment in a manner that improves environmental conditions, creates a more sustainable and less auto-dependent development pattern and provides economic opportunities in the Region. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • The High Density Tourist District contains a concentration of hotel/casino towers and is targeted for redevelopment in a manner that improves environmental conditions, creates a more sustainable and less auto-dependent development pattern and provides economic opportunities for local residents. The High Density Tourist District is the appropriate location for the Region\u2019s highest intensity development. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • Stream Restoration Plan Areas are Stream Environment Zones along major waterways that have been substantially degraded by prior or existing development. Individual Restoration Plans should be developed for each Stream Restoration Plan Area in coordination with the applicable local government and property owners in the plan area. Restoration Plans may be developed as a component of an Area Plan or as a separate document and should identify feasible opportunities for environmental restoration. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/UL>
