US EditionNorth Tahoe Ski Resort Project Scaled Back. Here’s Why Advocates Say It’s Such a Big Deal - The Nevada Independent
PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – The settlement reduces lodging units by 60% from the initial plan and cuts daily car trips by 38%, resolving a 14-year dispute over environmental impacts in Olympic Valley.
- Earlier today, Palisades Tahoe reached a settlement with conservation groups to scale down its Olympic Valley development near Lake Tahoe after nearly 15 years of legal battles.
- The conflict began with a 2011 proposal for 2,184 bedrooms and extensive commercial space, which conservationists challenged over environmental and traffic concerns.
- The agreement reduces bedrooms by 60% to 896, cuts commercial space by 20% to 222,000 square feet, protects land at Shirley Canyon, and halts new development for 25 years.
- In 2021, the Third District Court of Appeal ruled that prior county approvals violated environmental laws by ignoring impacts on Lake Tahoe's ecosystem, fire risk, noise, and traffic.
- Pending Placer County’s approval of the revised plan, the settlement will end litigation, reduce traffic by 38%, and advance workforce housing and environmental protections in the region.
