Mahalee Lodge Planned Development Zone & General Plan Designation Reversions

The development agreement for Mahalee Lodge has expired due to the absence of any construction or developmental activity within the required 24-month period following approval, triggering a mandatory review under Alpine County Code 18.28.100. As a result, the Planning Commission is obligated to initiate formal proceedings to revert the property’s zoning designation and general plan status to their prior conditions, effectively nullifying the special planned development status previously granted. This reversion process is now the County’s administrative priority, with no current solicitation or active procurement underway, but the case is formally flagged for action as of July 2026. The Alpine County Community Development Department, led by Sam Booth and Sarah Traiman, is responsible for managing the reversion process and will oversee compliance with local land use regulations through the Planning Commission’s procedural requirements. All relevant documentation and updates are publicly accessible via the CEQA Net portal linked to the project.
