Description
The public is invited to comment on the scope of the environmental assessment (EA) for the new Barton Health hospital project at Stateline. The EA will evaluate any potential environmental impacts of the project and amendments required to the South Shore Area Plan (SSAP) for construction.
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), Barton Hospital, and the Douglas County Community Development Planning Division (Douglas County) are seeking public comments and will hold a scoping meeting on January 16.
Located on 6.67 acres at the former site of the Lakeside Inn & Casino, Barton proposes to construct a new, state-of-the-art, full-service hospital. The Project is located within the Kingsbury Town Center of the Douglas County South Shore Area Plan. The Project will enable Barton to defer the demolition of the existing hospital located at 2170 South Avenue in South Lake Tahoe. That facility was built in 1963 and will continue to be used until the new hospital is operational, thereby avoiding a multi-year interruption of full-service healthcare to the South Shore and surrounding communities.
