The Village at Palisades Tahoe Specific Plan is located within the 4,700-acre Olympic Valley General Plan area in northeastern Placer County.

The plan includes up to 850 hotel, condominium-hotel and fractional ownership residential units and a maximum of 1,493 resort bedrooms, according to Placer County’s project webpage. The project includes development of new commercial, retail and recreational land uses including skier services, retail shopping, restaurants and bars, entertainment, and public and private recreation facilities.
