Planning Commission 5/11/26

The County of Sacramento Planning Commission held a meeting on May 11, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the review and recommendation of the county's Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff presented the CIP, confirming that all projects were consistent with the county's general plan, and the commission unanimously approved a motion to recommend the CIP to the Board of Supervisors for final adoption. Additionally, the commission reviewed a significant surface mining expansion project by Granite Construction, including amendments to use permits, reclamation plans, and development agreements, with a focus on environmental impacts and community benefits such as contributions to the Sacramento Splash program. The commission approved this project with recommendations to the board. Another major agenda item involved a tentative parcel map and design review in the Carmichael community, which included complex issues around private road maintenance agreements, fire access standards, and neighborhood preservation compliance. Due to unresolved concerns and the need for further clarification, the commission voted to continue this item to a date certain in July 2026. The meeting also included procedural motions to continue other items and concluded with scheduling announcements for upcoming meetings and zoning code amendments.
