Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Elk Grove public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Laguna Incubator Space Project
Three new office/flex buildings on vacant land along Laguna Boulevard could bring offices, training studios, and research and development uses to a corridor that already hosts the Sports Center and the Apple campus. It's infill development on pads approved back in 2009 that never got built.
Affordable housing fee update
First fee update since 2013: single-family fees rise slightly, multifamily drop, office gets its first fee. Builders support the compromise but warn against pricing Elk Grove out of the regional market.
Calvine Pointe storage and retail project
A long-vacant pad at the Calvine Pointe shopping center will get a three-story storage building with ground-floor retail, possibly a Pet Supplies Plus. The Council supports it but wants a citywide study on whether Elk Grove has too many storage facilities.
Property negotiations with Wilton Rancheria at 8675 Kammerer Road
The city is negotiating over two pieces of land — one with Creekside Christian Church and one with Justin Shergill. Nothing was agreed to yet, but any eventual deal could affect how those parcels are used.
Council priority projects progress
Highlights include the old library reuse planning (input meetings Sept 2 and 16), the Laguna Creek Trail Highway 99 overcrossing (bidding in October), the permanent homeless shelter site at Survey Road/East Stockton Boulevard, and 65 acres added to the Grant Line Business Park.
Elk Grove Subaru dealership redesign
Subaru updated its national dealership design, and the Elk Grove Auto Mall store wants the new look. The city approved the exterior changes while keeping parking, site layout, and building size unchanged. The general manager says construction could break ground in November and finish by January 2028.
East Stockton Boulevard and Survey Road parcel negotiation
The City is negotiating over a vacant 0.98-acre parcel at the northeast corner of East Stockton Boulevard and Survey Road. Price and terms were discussed behind closed doors; no deal was announced.
Parcel split at 10660 Calvine Road
A 5-acre rural residential property is being divided into a 2-acre and a 3-acre lot, with the two existing homes staying put and no new houses proposed yet. The southern lot has only 1.35 buildable acres because of a floodway.
Franklin Boulevard property negotiation
The city is negotiating price and terms with the Hampton parties over a portion of 10592 Franklin Boulevard. Details are confidential until a deal is reached.
