WHEREAS, on November 21, 2008, Plaintiffs League to Save Lake 

Tahoe and Sierra Club (jointly, “League”) in Case No. 2:08-CV-02828-LKK-GGH 

sued the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (“TRPA”) over TRPA’s adoption of 

amendments to its Shorezone Ordinances (“Ordinances”). 

WHEREAS, on December 19, 2008, Plaintiff Shorezone Property 

Owners’ Association (“Association”) in Case No. 2:08-CV-03081-LKK-GGH also 

sued TRPA over its adoption of the Ordinances. 

WHEREAS, on January 7, 2009, this Court deemed the Association’s 

and League’s respective suits related and, on April 7, 2009, this Court consolidated 

the two matters. 

WHEREAS, the Association previously informed the Court and the 

parties that it sued over concerns regarding specific language in the Ordinances, 

ambiguities in the Ordinances, and how TRPA might implement the Ordinances. 

WHEREAS, the Association believes that over the past year TRPA’s 

implementation and clarifications of the Ordinances, its implementation of the 

mooring buoy permitting and registration program, and its adoption on December 

16, 2009, of a mooring buoy line that allows for safe mooring practices have all 

demonstrated TRPA’s good faith implementation of the Ordinances’ new controls. 

WHEREAS, the Association previously informed the Court and the 

parties that were the Association to come to that conclusion the Association would 

dismiss the complaint it filed against TRPA. 

WHEREAS, the Parties previously stipulated and the Court ordered 

that “each of the plaintiff’s interests may be affected by the Court’s adjudication of 

the claims in the other action” and therefore “each set of plaintiffs in each action 

may participate fully in the merits briefing and hearing of the other action.” 

(Stipulation and Order of May 21, 2009.) 

WHEREAS, in dismissing its Complaint against TRPA, the 

Association intends to participate in the litigation of the League’s action against
