The South Lake Tahoe Planning Commission is scheduled to vote today on whether to approve a new gas station, car wash and convenience store at the “Y” shopping center.
The project would replace the vacant service station at 1020 Emerald Bay Road, next to the Raley’s supermarket, which was recently demolished.
The project, known as “Raley’s Aisle 1 Fuel Station,” would include a 2,134-square-foot convenience store, a 1,310-square-foot automatic car wash and a fueling area with six gas pumps or 12 fueling stations.
The proposal also calls for installation of two double-walled fuel tanks, an “artistic” fence to screen the fuel pumps from Lake Tahoe Boulevard and Emerald Bay Road, landscaping and erosion control measures (best management practices or BMPs), according to a report by Judy Finn, assistant planner for the city of South Lake Tahoe. There would be 16 parking spaces.
