If you want to bash Sacramento County, this is not the place to do it! They have put forth a proposal. We can only hope that it will come to fruition. Elk Grove has had big plans in the past that were dashed by the recession. But, they are a HUGE city (by suburban standards). This is within but not jurisdiction of Sacramento County we're talking about, by the way. This is a city of 160,000 people with ambitious leaders wanting to make their mark on the metro. How can you be a naysayer of the Elk Grove plans when there is nothing to compare success/failure to (outside of plans cancelled because of the recession)?

I didn't intend to bash the area. If I hated the place I wouldn't spend my time trolling this subforum. I like Sacramento, having lived there for a few years and enjoy the updates on central city projects (and lurking mostly).

As for suburban developments, I'll be skeptical for now, based off the disconnect between past suburban proposals in the region (North Natomas, Cordova Hills, off the top of my head) and reality. I know-different jurisdictions; yet, everything ends up auto-centered schlock? It's frustrating. Can a hundreds' acre greenfield project on the edge of a sprawling suburb become something interesting? I'm with you in hoping it does.

Medical office building breaking ground in Roseville soon



Quote:
Work should begin soon a new three-story office building intended for medical users in Roseville.
Tanner Industries will be the builder for the 33,000-square-foot building behind an existing retail property, north of where Sierra College Boulevard meets Douglas Boulevard.
The building will get underway as soon as the first tenant is signed, said Tyler Jerde, office leasing and sales broker with Turton Commercial Real Estate in Roseville.
"I feel very, very confident," he said. "With medical, especially, it's time."
Jerde said the building con be configured to whatever leasing interest it gets, though ideally, one user would take the entire space. Not far from both Kaiser Permanente and Sutter's Roseville medical centers, the building could be ideal for general practitioners, specialists or doctors affiliated with those hospitals, he said. Kaiser in particular has a number of small offices scattered across the region.

Citrus Heights City Hall, medical office switch could get final vote in March




Quote:
A plan to replace the existing Citrus Heights City Hall with a medical office building is taking public comments.
This week, the city of Citrus Heights planning commission released a draft version of the environmental impact report for the proposal, asking for comments. The proposal includes building a new City Hall at Stock Ranch Road and Fountain Square Drive.
Monica Alejandrez, an assistant to the city manager, said a final version of the EIR, including responses to comments and questions for the draft version, is still to come.
"It all depends on how many comments we get," she said. "We've always projected it would be complete by early spring."
The Citrus Heights City Council would consider the final EIR and the project itself for approval, tentatively on March 27, she said.

I don't think it's out of the question. Outside of downtown and West Sac, Rancho Cordova has some of the tallest buildings in the metro area. I think it could happen eventually.

Massive Folsom development effort nears reality




Quote:
Rolling pastures south of Highway 50 in Folsom are still wide open. But not for long. A massive development soon will transform the area.
Spanning nearly 3,600 acres, the $880 million project could include as many as 11,000 homes when completed. Residential construction is expected to take about 15 years while commercial development could take 25 years.
Next month, the Folsom City Council will consider forming a Mello-Roos community facilities district to fund the first infrastructure improvements to supply water to this area. If approved, bonds could be sold in June and construction could begin this summer.

Pretty much. Some beautiful rolling hills and open country will be forever changed for the sake of sprawl. At least they took a bit of care in preserving much of the oak woodlands.

Last I checked, I thought this was 2015, not 2005. Good riddance.

Meanwhile, on the other side of 50......

North of Highway 50, infill builders busy in Folsom



Quote:
While much of the open land and development activity in Folsom is south of Highway 50, developers are busy in the more crowded neighborhoods north of the freeway as well.
Much of that development reflects a trend seen in other cities: consumer interest in urban life, said Greg Paquin, president of The Gregory Group, a Folsom-based consulting firm.
Folsom is seeing urban development in suburban locations where residents can walk to light rail, restaurants or jump on the bike trail, ...

Good riddance to rolling hills and woodlands? What made a difference between 2005 and 2015?

I was saying good riddance to more sprawling development, trying to hint that the time and place for this kind of large-swath development over rolling hills belongs in the past.

I guess jokes don't work here.

Sometimes it's hard to tell. There are folks who post here who seem very unhappy with hills and trees and just love sprawl. Anyhow, there are 300,000 planned units of new greenfielf housing currently planned or entitled, predominantly car-centric single family homes, so sprawl isn't going away anytime soon. The trees and hills, on the other hand...

Fair enough. For setting the future record straight, you'll never have to worry about seeing my support for this kind of development. What kind of environmentalist architecture/urban planning student would I be if I did? A horrible, hypocritical one, that's what.

Better to terrace and develop rocky hills than pave over productive cropland, if people are moving in. "Farm to fork", right?

Oh god don't remind me, I dread that they want to plaster that all over the new arena and the hotel. That slogan makes me feel like we are some yokel nowhere town.

Oh god don't remind me, I dread that they want to plaster mcmansions all over the hillsides. Those are the last hills before the valley floor in the county and it makes our land use decisions look like a joke.

We are in agreement.
