12 issues in development with medium priority
Southpointe Meadows subdivision time extension
Seven planned one-acre-plus lots in El Dorado Hills got a three-year lifeline. A new owner bought the project and needs until October 2029 to finish the final map.
El Dorado Hills parcel split on Lomita Way
A 13.43-acre property near Lomita Way and Bonita Drive can now be divided into two residential lots, opening the way for potential future home construction in the El Dorado Hills Community Region.
Montano de El Dorado Phase Two commercial subdivision timeline
The 12-lot commercial map along Latrobe Road in El Dorado Hills was set to expire; the extension keeps the shopping center expansion entitlements alive through 2030. The developer cited two family deaths in the ownership group as the reason work stalled.
Chick-fil-A with drive-thru near Headington Road
A 4,880-square-foot Chick-fil-A with a two-lane drive-thru is proposed next to residential uses at Missouri Flat and Headington roads. The committee endorsed it but asked for a softer building color.
Rescue area four-lot subdivision on Deer Valley Road
A 39-acre parcel between Green Valley Road and Duncan Hill Road is being split into four roughly 10-acre residential lots, adding new home sites near the Rescue rural center. One lot is slightly under the 10-acre minimum but qualifies for a parcel size exception.
2026-2027 Area Plan on Aging update
The county's plan for senior services funding and priorities got its annual update and public hearing. Resident comments go into the plan submitted to the California Department of Aging.
Mobile Home Report Back
Staff shared an overview of mobile home data as part of the county's affordable housing work. Mobile homes are a key part of the local housing stock, so this data may shape future housing policy.
Cell tower replacement in Placerville
Epic Wireless wants to swap a 47-foot wood pole for a 63-foot fake-pine tower near Forni Road. Commissioners continued the decision to May 14.
East Ridge Village Unit 2 final map
44 new residential lots in El Dorado Hills cleared a major milestone, moving the East Ridge Village subdivision closer to construction off Valley View Parkway.
Ranney condo conversion, Pollock Pines
A plan to convert a small apartment building into condos was delayed to March 12, so the rental-to-ownership change remains in limbo for now.
Council vacancies and recruitment
The council has three open seats and is brainstorming which community members and organizations to invite to join. Filling them strengthens the council's ability to represent low-income and community interests countywide.
Carson Creek Village 11 road improvement timing
Lennar Homes won approval to delay the required Royal Oaks Drive extension and Latrobe Road traffic signal for its Heritage at Carson Creek Village 11 final maps. El Dorado Hills residents worry about traffic before the improvements land.
