Overview

Basics

Basics
The Tahoe Region’s landscape is extensive and varied and viewers predominately see the landscape from major roadways or from the lake itself. Scenic deterioration results from types of development that dominate or are incompatible with the natural landscape, are in locations visible from major roadways, block important views and remove vegetation and natural features, and alter the topography. The scenic resource evaluation assesses changes in scenic conditions relative to TRPA threshold standards.

Threshold Categories

  • The 1982 scenic study established threshold standards for the protection of scenic quality and developed a methodology for measuring change in scenic quality over time with the goals of: 1.Maintain and enhance the dominant natural-appearing landscape for the vast majority of views and lands in the Region. 2.Maintain and/or improve the aesthetic characteristics of the man-made environment to be compatible with the natural environment. 3.Restore, wherever possible, damaged natural landscapes.

Notes
01/17/2020 11:47 AM Jeanne McNamara The expenditures noted for 2019 are just for the amount so far invoiced for the scenic monitoring assistance contract. This does not include TRPA staff time, just the cost so far that the consultant has billed.
