NewsInquire about the availability of documents in alternate formats. Community Planning Commissions
The Board of Supervisors has authorized the establishment of community planning commissions that allows local residents to make land use decisions. The decision cumulates an innovative four area pilot project, which started as an experiment, in October 2005 that delegated decision-making authority to area residents.
The first meetings occurred in February 2009 for the pilot project’s test areas, which include Arden Arcade, Carmichael/Old Foothill Farms, Fair Oaks and Rio Linda/Elverta. Under the pilot, the hearing bodies were called Community Planning Councils. During 2008 the Board reviewed the experiment and concluded the underlining purpose of local delegation of authority deserved to be continued with a few minor administrative modifications to provide uniformity.
Agendas, public materials and past action summaries for each of the commissions are available online at SacCountyTV.
