STATELINE, Nev. Updated rules to encourage more affordable housing options for Lake Tahoe residents and workers were unanimously approved last week by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board.
TRPA officials said on Tuesday that the approval significantly expands the number of properties in the Tahoe Basin that can add an accessory dwelling unit and provides further incentives if the ADU is restricted to affordable rates and located near transit or a town center, which reduces vehicle use.

The amendments maintain the 1-acre size limit in the Washoe County and Douglas County portions of the basin, which is consistent with local jurisdiction rules.
