OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. – The Olympic Valley Municipal Advisory Council (OVMAC) voted Saturday against the Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan project with a message to the county and the applicant that the community is overwhelmingly against this development.

After almost 7 hours, the unanimous decision was made.

OVMAC member David Stepner made the motion, and OVMAC member Andrew Lange seconded it.

“Secondly, we encourage the applicant and county to evaluate a different reduce-sized plan with a reduced-sized mountain activity center,” according to the OVMAC project recommendation. “And that the community wants collaborative input.”

The OVMAC recommendation will be included in Placer County’s report that will be presented during the Planning Commission’s Sept. 5 meeting at the North Lake Tahoe Events Center in Kings Beach. During the meeting, the Planning Commission will consider certification of the specific plan entitlements and the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
