SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice 

of Intent to prepare a draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 21, 2005, under the name of 

Cedar Grove Affordable Housing Project. 

The proposed action is a proposal by 

Pacific West Communities to develop 

approximately 12.2 acres in the Tahoe 

Vista area of Placer County for an 

affordable housing complex. The project 

site is located on the Kings Beach 7.5- 

minute U.S.G.S. topographic quadrangle 

map, north of State Route 28 and west 

of National Avenue in Tahoe Vista, 

California. The site is currently 

undeveloped, forested land with dense 

stands of pine, fir, and cedar. Adjacent 

properties to the east and west have 

been developed for residential housing. 

The North Tahoe Regional Park is 

directly north of the project site, and the 

Mourelatos resort is to the south. 

This project would require a TRPA 

Plan Area Statement (PAS) Amendment 

for the Tahoe Estates PAS 021 Special 

Area 6. Alternative A, B, and C would 

also require an amendment to the Tahoe 

Vista Community Plan for the 

annexation of the land. 

This is a combined document—an EIR 

under the CEQA Guidelines, an EIS 

under NEPA and HUD’s at 24 CFR Part 

58, and an EIS under TRPA’s Code of 

Regulations. 

Multiple alternatives were identified 

and discussed via the scoping process. 

After preliminary review, five 

alternatives were considered for full 

evaluation. They are: 

Alternative A—152 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 41.7% 

Population: 400 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative B—144 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 50.0% for 96 units of 

affordable 

Coverage Ratio: 30.0% for 48 units of 

moderate 

Population: 368 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative C—132 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 38.6% 

Population: 364 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative D—72 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 30% 

Population: 276 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Rental Units: 64, affordable to 50–80% 

of Area Median Income 

For Sale Units: 8, affordable to Moderate 

Income (120% of Area Median 

Income) 

Alternative E—No Project 

No Action. If nothing were done, no 

additional affordable housing would be 

built. The project site would remain 

vacant. 

Actions common to all alternatives, 

except E, include traffic, water, sewer, 

wastewater, transit, noise and scenic 

quality. 

The DEIS/DEIR addresses the 

following environmental issues: 

hydrology and water quality, soils and 

geology, air quality, noise, 

transportation, vegetation, wildlife and 

scenic resources, cultural resources, 

land use, growth inducement, land 

capacity and coverage, public services, 

public utilities and affordable housing.

can not be mitigated. Without counting 

Alternative E (No Action), the 

Environmentally Recommended 

Alternative is D.
