Current Status of New Shorezone Ordinances December 30, 2008

Updated shorezone permit application packets are available for bringing existing buoys into conformance with the new ordinances and TRPA staff is scheduled to begin processing applications January 5, 2009. The main focus of the new ordinances is to improve existing development and scenic resources before any new development is permitted. Preliminary pier applications for the five allocations being competed for in 2009 are scheduled to be accepted January 31. The competitive criteria is based on the level of environmental and scenic improvements proposed in each pier application.
