R2) It shall be the policy of the TRPA Governing Body in development of the Regional Plan to establish and ensure a fair share of the total Basin capacity for outdoor recreation is available to the general public.
The status of this threshold standard is evaluated by reviewing four evaluation criteria: 1) the degree to which the TRPA Regional Plan and TRPA programs support implementation of the policy statement, 2) cumulative accounts of “persons at one time” (PAOT) allocations, which are estimates of the number of users a recreation site can support at one time, 3) recreation facility development for projects that do not require PAOT assignments, and 4) public acquisition of lands that support recreation purposes.

Program TRPA Recreation Threshold Monitoring

Approach

The quality of recreation experiences has been assessed through recreation user surveys conducted by recreation providers and organizations in the Region since the 2011 Threshold Evaluation Report was prepared. These surveys measure the overall satisfaction with recreation experiences. The surveys also measure satisfaction with specific components of the recreation experience, such as the condition of recreation facilities. These recreation surveys represent the best available information and they primarily apply to developed recreation resources on the south and north shores. As such, the recreation user surveys are helpful indicators focused on multiple user groups, rather than a comprehensive measure of user satisfaction with all recreation amenities in the basin. The surveys evaluated here were conducted by the City of South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County, Tahoe City Public Utility District, Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority, and North Lake Tahoe Resort Association.
