Staff previews subdivision, trail extensions, Sunrise corridor and grant applications for Citrus Heights
Summary
City staff told the Planning Commission about several upcoming projects: a 19‑lot Wintergreen/Old Auburn subdivision, a planned rebuild of Greenback Fire Station 26, two trail extensions including Stock Ranch to Sylvan, a Sunrise corridor frontage project with a 10‑foot multiuse path and new signal, and multiple grant applications (SACOG, FEMA).
Planning and general services staff used the April 28 meeting to preview a pipeline of capital and development projects expected to come before the commission this summer.
Allison (staff) told commissioners the city is working with a developer on a subdivision at Wintergreen and Old Auburn. "That'll be 14 lots. Oh, 19 lots. I'm sorry," Allison said during the update, correcting herself to report a 19‑lot proposal for the long‑standing vacant parcel.
Other projects flagged by staff include a Sacramento Fire plan to demolish and rebuild Greenback Fire Station 26 near Auburn Boulevard, two gas‑station expansion applications (including an ARCO AM/PM at Auburn and Antelope), and a possible reopening of the former Watson Way/Auburn Boulevard station.
Daniel Koehler of General Services briefed the commission on infrastructure work and grants. He said the Stock Ranch to Sylvan Road trail extension is scheduled to enter environmental circulation in May and that San Juan Avenue work will continue with subsequent phases to Greenback Boulevard.
Koehler described a resurfacing program and other maintenance projects: "We're doing about 50 miles, a 100 roads right now," he said, and added that the city will bid accessibility and drainage repairs, curb ramps and median repairs this summer. He also outlined the Sunrise Tomorrow frontage project, saying it will include a 10‑foot walking path, a relocated bus stop and a new signal to support future transit center planning.
Staff also noted active grant efforts: applications for a SACOG state‑of‑good‑repair grant, an active FEMA mitigation grant for creek realignment and erosion control, and a system performance grant intended to support San Juan Avenue improvements.
Finally, when asked about a property adjacent to Veterans Hall, Stephanie Louie said the applicant continues to negotiate with the veterans' center and that the veterans organization is seeking funds to purchase the parcel; no agreement had been reached as of the meeting.
