October 2017 EDH APAC Meeting Minutes Posted Online

October 13, 2017 in EDH APAC

The El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee held its October 2017 meeting on Wednesday October 11th at the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Norm Rowett Pavilion. The minutes of the meeting have now been posted online HERE

Supervisor Communications

El Dorado County District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl offer comments about Transportation funding from California’s Senate Bill SB1 (Gas and Vehicle Registration Fee increases). Some of the funds that El Dorado Count will be receiving will be going to a project to complete a road surface overlay of El Dorado Hills Blvd (the most heavily traffic-ed road in unincorporated El Dorado County).  This project will take several years to complete – some of the phases include cleaning up and rough texturing the road surface, followed by pruning and maintaining foliage along the road. A new pavement overlay will follow with a new formula for the road surface, which is suspected to last longer than conventional overlays. The project is projected to be completed in 2021.

Supervisor Hidahl also spoke about a new effort underway to re-vision the El Dorado Hills Business Park, which has fallen short of build out expectations of when it was originally approved. After more than twenty years, it has not become the employment center it was envisioned to be, and remains half full. Several property owners in the EDH Business Park have started a study that would add new land use concepts, and amenities – including:

488 total acres of employment – research and development
186 acres undeveloped – which is a twenty year supply of space

  • 35 acres of parks
  • 140 acres of open space
  • 8.5 acres of mixed use commercial and residential – 255 dwelling units
  • 23 acres low density residential – 115 dwelling units
  • 72 acres medium density residential – 909 dwelling units
  • 17 acres high density residential – 401 dwelling units
  • 1680 total dwelling units

Supervisor Hidahl stressed that this a conceptual project, and will continue to evolve.
