""We are grateful to the Planning Commission for their thoughtful consideration and to the community members who have engaged with us throughout this process," said Amy Ohran, President & Chief Operating Officer of Palisades Tahoe. "This process has never been about being right-it's about getting it right. The input we've received has helped shape a plan that better reflects the values of Olympic Valley, and we're thankful to everyone who took the time to share their perspectives.""
"The plan reduces the overall scale of development, including a 40% reduction in total lodging bedrooms from 1,493 to 896. It will also reduce the commercial space from 278,000 square feet to up to 242,000 square feet."
"Development has also been shifted away from Shirley Canyon, resulting in an approximate 24% increase in open space zoning within the main Village, including roughly 40 acres designated for Village-Forest Recreation and Village-Conservation Preserve."
"The new village would be built almost entirely on existing asphalt parking lots and other previously disturbed areas. It proposes a mix of lodging types and includes improved access linking the Village directly to the Truckee River bike path."
The Placer County Planning Commission has unanimously recommended the Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan for approval by the Board of Supervisors. This plan incorporates feedback from over 5,000 community members and collaboration with organizations like Sierra Watch. Key changes include a 40% reduction in lodging bedrooms and a decrease in commercial space. The plan also increases open space and emphasizes a walkable village experience, utilizing existing disturbed areas for development.
