City Manager, David Jinkens, and his redevelopment
team, gave a PowerPoint presentation that gave an
overview of the proposed 1,300 -acre "Central Tahoe
Community Improvement Plan" that included: project
area plans and goals, existing conditions within the
project area, improvements needed in the project area,
infrastructure needs and fire fighting flows for the
Lukins area, economic development project and
programs, and expected monetary impacts. The
redevelopment team fielded questions and heard
comments from members of the public and the Board.
The District is concerned about the potential loss of
property tax revenue from the areas included in
Redevelopment Project Area No. 2. The incremental
tax revenue potentially lost over the 45 -year term of
the plan, could amount to $54 million, depending upon
how fast property values increase in the Area. El Dorado
County will lose revenue as well. City staff indicated that
they would consider any District suggestions for reducing
this potential loss of future tax revenue.
A joint public hearing will be held by the City of South
Lake Tahoe and the City Redevelopment Agency in April,
where members of the public can voice their support or
opposition to the proposed plan. A vote to adopt the plan
will occur at that public hearing.
No Board action.
