EDH APAC Comments on Third and Fourth Quarter 2024 Project Review Schedule

Letter submitted July 3rd.

The Officers of the El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee (EDH APAC) submitted a letter expressing concerns about the tentative review schedule of multiple projects impacting El Dorado Hills in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

Adequate time for thoughtful project review and analysis along with input from residents results in projects that offer increased benefits for a community to better balance against potential negative impacts.

The El Dorado County Planning and Building Department must operate in a manner that adheres to both state law, as well as El Dorado County policies and ordinances, in a process that respects the rights of project applicants, and County residents. EDH APAC recognizes that Planning and Building Staff have a challenging task to respond to both developers and the community. EDH APAC is grateful for the collaborative manner that County Staff conducts project review, and the amount of assistance that Staff generously provides to EDH APAC volunteers, and the community.

Please note that the letter contains a typo regarding the date of the Town & Country Village El Dorado Scoping meeting date – the letter indicates August 2024, when in fact the Scoping meeting was held in August 2023.

EDH APAC August 9 2017 Meeting

APAC held it’s August 2017 meeting at the EDH Fire Department Headquarters at Station 85 Wednesday evening, August 9, 2017.

A presentation was made by Kirk Bone and Andrea Howard of Parker Development/ Serrano Associates, regarding the 12 plus acre park site at Village J, Lot H. This is the final park facility that was required in the original Serrano Development Agreements. The park will be funded partially with Mello Roos fees that have been collected expressly for the purpose of creating park spaces in Serrano. The park will be designed in conjunction withe the EL Dorado Hills Community Services District (CSD), who will accept ownership of the property, and manage the park.  El Dorado Hills CSD General Manager Kevin Loewen also provided some information regarding combining Lot H facilities to the existing CSD Sellwood Field, as well as potential opportunities with adjoining property at the site currently owned by the El Dorado Irrigation District, Rescue Union School District, and El Dorado County. No definitive time line is set, but as the project moves through design stages, more information will be available to the public, and input from EDH residents is welcomed.

A presentation was made by El Dorado Fire Department Deputy Chief Operations Mike Lilienthal on the proposed EDH Fire Department Training Facility next to Station 87 in the EDH Business Park. The Fire Department has a special use permit to operate a training facility on the site, which was granted in 2009, and expires in 2018. Deputy Chief Lilienthal presented cost saving changes the plan has undergone in the past several years, and indicated that the focus of the facility has changed from a regional training center, to a narrower basic firefighther training facility for EDH Fire Department employees, with the opportunity to also have training available for other fire agencies.

A presentation was made by representatives of the Spanos Corporation on the proposed El Dorado Hills Apartments at Town Center, highlighting changes and improvements made to the design from the original 2014 project. The project consists of 214 units, in two four story buildings, with a five story parking garage in the center. The focus is luxury apartments that leverage the shopping and services that benefit the project inside Town Center East. The Spanos Corporation representatives followed up the presentation with a question and answer session for El Dorado Hills residents. Following this, the APAC Subcommittee studying the DEIR of the project made a short presentation of the results of their report. The subcommittee recommended non-support of the project as currently presented. A motion was made for the full Area Planning Advisory Committee to accept the Subcommittee recommendation of non-support, and this passed 7 -0.
