Proposed City of Elk Grove Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment (LAFCO #09-10)

Proposed City of Elk Grove Sphere of Influence (SOI) Amendment (LAFCO #09-10)

Final 1 CD/NOA The proposed project consists of a request initiated by the Elk Grove City Council (Resolution #2008-54) to Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to amend to the City of Elk Grove's SOI. The current SOI is coterminous with the City boundary. The application to amend the SOI includes 7,869 acres generally described as the areas south of Bilby Road/Kammerer Road and Grant Line Road. Current City of Elk Grove land use projections indicates that future growth may require additional lands outside of the current city boundary. The City's available residential, industrial, and commercial land inventory is in the process of building out and may be unable to accommodate all anticipated urban growth within the city limits. As a result, the City needs to establish a direction to accommodate its anticipated future growth by designating an area for long-term planning. For purposes of analyzing environmental impacts, LAFCo has developed land use assumptions in the following sections that would allow LAFCo to understand environmental effects that may result from future anticipated growth during future annexations.
