Elk Grove Mural Festival in Old Town
The city's first mural festival will bring seven murals to Old Town buildings this June, plus art events for youth and families. Supporters say it energizes downtown and boosts local artists; some historic-district residents want the art to reflect Elk Grove's heritage and fit Old Town's character.
Old Town Courtyard event venue permit
A courtyard venue in Old Town had been hosting weddings and parties without a permit until code enforcement stepped in. The CUP now legitimizes events for up to 60 guests with noise limits and building/fire code requirements, keeping a small business alive while protecting nearby homes.
Medical waste transfer facility at 9168 Survey Road
The Council approved letting a medical waste transfer facility operate in an existing industrial building on Survey Road. Waste is collected, sealed, and shipped weekly to a Fresno disposal facility — nothing is disposed of on site. Security questions were addressed with fencing, barbed wire, and planned CCTV.
