KINGS BEACH, Calif. — Residents are invited to attend the April 16 Planning Commission meeting to learn about proposed amendments to the previously approved Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan.

The commission will hear details about the proposed amendments, ask questions and hear feedback from attendees before considering a recommendation to the Placer County Board of Supervisors. The meeting will be held at the North Tahoe Event Center starting at 10 a.m.

The Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan has seen various iterations in the past decade. The project was initially approved by the county’s Board of Supervisors in 2016, litigated and brought back to the board in 2024. The specific plan was approved by the board on Nov. 19, 2024, and litigated a second time. In July 2025, Palisades Tahoe reached an agreement with the League to Save Lake Tahoe and Sierra Watch to settle litigation challenging the specific plan development in Olympic Valley. The agreement resulted in Palisades Tahoe requesting a reduction of the approved project.



The proposed amended plan:

  • Reduces the total hotel/condo bedrooms within the specific plan by 40% from 1493 to 896
  • Reduces total new commercial space by 20% in the main Village area from 277,733 to 222,000 square feet
  • The Mountain Adventure Camp size has been reduced from 90,000 square feet to 72,000 square feet and the height has been reduced from 96 feet to 78 feet
  • Sets a plan for development within the specific plan boundary for 25 years
