Homewood Sustainability Plan

Skiing in the Sierra NevadaHomewood Mountain Resort, located on the west shore of Lake Tahoe sits 1200 acres large and is comprised of forest land, water bodies, wetlands, an existing ski resort development and surrounded by a community of long time locals and part time residents.

The redevelopment of the Homewood Mountain Resort presents tremendous potential for a new model in sustainable land use planning, a model that respects the environment and opens new doors to social, natural and financial equity. The term sustainability refers to Homewood’s ability to simultaneously improve the social, natural, and financial health of its proposed development and the surrounding community. By incorporating this “whole systems” approach to the planning process, Homewood will achieve a development that cares not only about its place in today’s world, but works to maintain a sustainable future. This is an opportunity to demonstrate how land use planning can take an existing development and make it better.
