    Lake Tahoe Rent Methodology Study (Final with Public Comments)

    RENT METHODOLOGY STUDY – LAKE TAHOE Prepared for: California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 February 21, 2020 Ninette Lee, Public Land Manager California State Lands Commission 100 Howe Avenue, Suite 100-S Sacramento, CA 95825 Re: Lake Tahoe Self-Contained Rent Methodology Study File Name: TDG 2019 048 State of CA Agreement # C2018065 Dear Ms. Lee: Pursuant to your request, I performed an analysis of the benchmark rental rate methodology used by the California State Lands Commission (herein referred to as “Commission” and/or “SLC”) to determine rental rates for over 600 leases in the Lake Tahoe area. These leases include private piers and buoys (Category 1); and upland fill area (Category 2). I have completed the analysis and provided recommendations based on the Scope of Work. I have analyzed market data throughout the State of California in order to prepare the following rent methodology study. This report was prepared for the client, the California State Lands Commission, and authorized representatives, and is intended only for their specified use. The intended use of this appraisal is to assist the Commission in establishing the methodology to determine appropriate rents for those privately-owned piers (berths), buoys, and fill areas on Lake Tahoe. The purpose of the appraisal is to provide recommendations on rent methodology and rates as of July 25, 2019. This rent methodology study was prepared in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (U.S.P.A.P.), and the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct of the Appraisal Institute.

    Appendix H Public Comments and Responses to DEIS

    APPENDIX H PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSES ON DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT According to NEPA, federal agencies are required to identify and formally respond to all substantive public comments. A standardized content analysis process was conducted to analyze the public comments on the Draft EIS. Each comment letter and email message received was read, analyzed and considered by BLM, Reclamation, and Western to ensure that all substantive comments were identified. In performing this analysis, the BLM, Reclamation, and Western relied on the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations to determine what constituted a substantive comment. A substantive comment does one or more of the following: Questions, with a reasonable basis, the accuracy of the information and/or analysis in the EIS. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the adequacy of the information and/or analysis in the EIS. Presents reasonable alternatives other than those presented in the Draft EIS that meet the purpose and need of the proposed action and addresses significant issues. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the merits of an alternative or alternatives. Causes changes in or revisions to the proposed action. Questions, with a reasonable basis, the adequacy of the planning process itself. Thirty-seven individual comment letters and/or emails were submitted to the BLM during the 45-day comment period. Within the 37 comment letters, 322 comments were identified and addressed. Comments on the Draft EIS that failed to meet the above description were considered non-substantive because they expressed personal opinions or preferences that were not relevant to the adequacy or accuracy of the Draft EIS, or represented commentary regarding resource management unrelated to the Draft EIS.
