El Dorado County Press Release

​PLANNING & BUILDING DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES ONLINE TOOL TO INCREASE PUBLIC ACCESS, UNDERSTANDING OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

El Dorado County’s Planning and Building staff launched the “Projects in Your Area” online tool that makes it easier to find the current status of and information about proposed, in-progress, and approved projects in the County. The new tool includes features and functionality community members and officials have requested.

“We’ve heard our citizens’ frustration about the challenges to being able to easily find various pieces of planning information about projects in El Dorado County, and we’re delighted to launch this easy-to-use, interactive and accessible tool today as a way to overcome the barriers to quick and easy information,” said Planning and Building Department director, Karen Garner.

In conjunction with the County’s Information Technology and Surveyor departments, Projects in Your Area allows users to find projects, by clicking the interactive map that is bound by Supervisorial Districts, or by clicking a list of residential, commercial, mixed use, campground/RV, and light industrial projects via alphabetical order, according to type of project.

Project details include a description of the project, the type of application and when it was submitted, the zoning and elevation, the applicant, the APN, assigned planner’s name, a status bar, pertinent documents and maps, and the designated General Plan Land use. One great advantage is to be able to see current projects in relationship to each other on the map.  The tool will evolve to include more valuable review process information over time, including a link to CEQA documents and public comment periods.

“While not every project application will be included with this tool, we will include projects with wide public interest within weeks of an application submittal and will be updated until the project has been approved,” said Garner. “Importantly, this new tool eliminates the need for the public to use our TRAKiT system, which can be less intuitive.”

Projects in Your Area will be available on the County’s website and users are not required to create an account to access the information posted.

Comprehensive list of road projects in and around El Dorado Hills

At the June 2022 El Dorado Hills Community Council meeting, District 1 Supervisor John Hidhal shared a list of area road projects and developments provided by the El Dorado County Transportation Department. Several items included in the list are either already in progress, or will begin in the near future.

The list is quite comprehensive, and covers both road projects and development projects that impact roads.

The El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC) has released the draft results of the County Line Multi-Modal Transit Center.

For more than one year, the EDCTC has worked with area stakeholders, including El Dorado Transit, El Dorado County Government, area School Districts, EDH APAC, the California Highway Patrol, local and county Chambers of Commerce, area businesses and employers, the Folsom Stage Line Sacramento Regional Transit, and many other area organizations to define current and future needs for transportation in the El Dorado County – Sacramento County Line area, encompassing public transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare opportunities. The existing park and ride lot located primarily at El Dorado Hills Town Center at the corner of Latrobe Rd and White Rock Rd, along with an overflow location in Town Center at Vine Street and Mercedes Lane are significantly over-capacity. The primary Latrobe Rd & White Rock Rd location is constrained by overhead power and utility lines, which would prevent building a vertical parking garage.

The study also included a review of not just transportation needs, but included a study of potential amenities and technologies that would enhance public transportation utilization – items such as retail, food, bike lockers, electric vehicle charging for both the public and for buses, increased access/provision for rideshare dropoff/pickup options, space to store off duty buses to keep them local, and many more features.

The Study included two Stakeholder Advisory Committee meetings, as well as two public open houses.

Six potential Multi-Modal sites were identified in El Dorado Hills that could meet the defined needs of current and future transportation uses.

Because of the size of the Study Draft Report, it is broken in to Part 1 and Part 2, presented in PDF viewers below, as well as on the EDCTC Transit Center Study webpage, along with several Appendices, Stakeholder Advisory Committee links, and relevant document links.
