On Thursday, the Placer County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approving the Village at Palisades Tahoe specific plan.
Palisades Tahoe had reached an agreement with Sierra Watch and Keep Tahoe Blue to downsize the development.
That plan included reducing the total number of lodging bedrooms by 40 percent, from 1,493 to 896.
It also reduces commercial space from 278,000 square feet to up to 242,000 square feet, according to a release from Palisades Tahoe.
Development has also been shifted away from Shirley Canyon, resulting in an approximate 24% increase in open space zoning within the main Village, including roughly 40 acres designated for Village-Forest Recreation and Village-Conservation Preserve.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors will consider approving the project next month.
The plan they will consider reflects significant public input gathered during more than 300 community meetings and participation from over 5,000 people.
