Tahoe Regional Planning Agency
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s vision is for a Lake environment that is sustainable,
healthy and safe for the community and future generations.
Under the its Bi-State Compact, TRPA is directed to “establish
environmental threshold carrying capacities and to adopt and
enforce a regional plan and implementing ordinances which
will achieve and maintain such capacities while providing
opportunities for orderly growth and development consistent
with such capacities,” and to “insure an
equilibrium between the region’s natural endowment and its
manmade environment.
