Your project
Change an existing lakefront residence.
Additions, rebuilds, and changes that affect how the project conforms with scenic regulations still go through the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). A lakeside residence is not exempt just because it already exists. TRPA review is a Compact Chapter 3 Initial Environmental Checklist.
Scenic review is how the change conforms with scenic regulations. Adding visible mass or simple changes to an existing elevation typically requires a scenic assessment.
How we can help you
- Scope what actually needs a permit, so you do not file more than the change requires.
- Check coverage, height, and how the change conforms with scenic regulations, before you lock a design.
- File the TRPA application and keep the same team on it.
- If a pier or shore work is part of the project, we run that work with the residence so nothing is missed.
