The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors recorded several final actions during its May 20 meeting. Key votes and outcomes are summarized below.
Blossom Ridge (County Service Area No.1, Zone 1) The board held a public hearing and adopted a resolution confirming a benefit‑category change and the levy of an increased annual service charge for the Blossom Ridge subdivision. Clerk staff reported one returned ballot that represented 100% of the property owner’s allocation and was in favor of the change; no majority protest was filed. Outcome: adopted (unanimous among members present).
Floodplain management ordinance amendment (zoning code component) Planning and Water Resources staff presented FEMA‑requested amendments to the county’s standalone floodplain management ordinance to keep the county in the National Flood Insurance Program. The board approved an ordinance amendment consistent with Planning Commission recommendations and found the action exempt under CEQA guidance as presented. Outcome: adopted (unanimous vote).
Gardiner split zone / Williamson Act modification (Delta community) The board approved a boundary line adjustment that reduces a vineyard parcel enrolled in a Williamson Act agricultural preserve by about a half acre to create an open‑space buffer adjacent to an existing residence; staff simultaneously rescinded and reestablished the preserve on the adjusted property boundaries. Planning staff recommended approval; the Ag Advisory Committee and Delta Citizens’ MAC recommended the change. Outcome: approved (unanimous vote).
Letters of public convenience and necessity (alcohol licenses) The board approved two PCN requests under the county’s alcohol‑license review process: - Billiard El Tapatio (6110 Watt Ave., North Highlands): Approved a Type 40 (beer) license for an existing billiard hall. Applicant agreed to restrict sales to on‑site consumption and accepted sheriff’s conditions limiting hours. Outcome: approved (unanimous vote). - Grocery Outlet (1309 Fulton Ave., Arden‑Arcade): Approved a Type 21 off‑sale license for a proposed Grocery Outlet supermarket. Store plan shows alcohol would occupy about 5% of floor area; applicant accepted sheriff‑recommended conditions limiting hours and certain sales practices. Outcome: approved (unanimous vote).
How the board voted: Most items were adopted by unanimous vote of supervisors present. For the Foothill Farms CPAC item the board approved the resolution with Supervisor Kennedy recording a no vote and Supervisor Hume absent; for other items the board recorded unanimous votes among members present.
