CA Codes (gov:67070-67072)

67070.  (a) Within 18 months after the formation of the agency, the
agency shall prepare, adopt and review and maintain a comprehensive
long-term general plan for the development of the Tahoe region,
referred to as the "regional plan"; provided that, when the Tahoe
Regional Planning Compact becomes effective the time for preparation
of the regional plan shall be extended so that it coincides with the
date upon which the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency must submit its
regional plan.  The regional plan shall consist of a diagram, or
diagrams, and text, or texts setting forth the projects and proposals
for implementation of the regional plan, a description of the needs
and goals of the region and a statement of the policies, standards
and elements of the regional plan.
   (b) The regional plan shall include the following correlated
elements:
   (1) A land-use plan for the integrated arrangement and general
location and extent of, and the criteria and standards for, the uses
of land, water, air, space and other natural resources within the
region, including but not limited to, an indication or allocation of
maximum population densities.
   (2) A transportation plan for the integrated development of a
regional system of transportation, including but not limited to,
freeways, parkways, highways, transportation facilities, transit
routes, waterways, navigation and aviation aids and facilities, and
appurtenant terminals and facilities for the movement of people and
goods within the region.
   (3) A conservation plan for the preservation, development,
utilization, and management of the scenic and other natural resources
within the basin, including but not limited to soils, shoreline and
submerged lands, scenic corridors along transportation routes, open
spaces, recreational and historical facilities.
   (4) A recreation plan for the development, utilization, and
management of the recreational resources of the region, including but
not limited to, wilderness and forested lands, parks and parkways,
riding and hiking trails, beaches and playgrounds, marinas and other
recreational facilities.
   (5) A public services and facilities plan for the general
location, scale and provision of public services and facilities,
which, by the nature of their function, size, extent and other
characteristics are necessary or appropriate for inclusion in the
regional plan.


67071.  In formulating and maintaining the regional plan, the agency
shall take account of and shall seek to harmonize the needs of the
region as a whole, the plans of the counties and cities within the
region, the plans and planning activities of the state, federal and
other public agencies and nongovernmental agencies and organizations
which affect or are concerned with planning and development within
the region.  Where necessary for the realization of the regional
plan, the agency may engage in collaborative planning with local
governmental jurisdictions located outside the region, but contiguous
to its boundaries.  In formulating and implementing the regional
plan, the agency shall seek the cooperation and consider the
recommendations of counties and cities and other agencies of local
government, of state and federal agencies, of educational
institutions and research organizations, whether public or private,
and of civic groups and private individuals.



67072.  All provisions of the Tahoe regional general plan shall be
enforced by the agency and by the counties and cities in the region.
