Document Description
The applicant is proposing to develop three parcels in unincorporated Sacramento County in two phases.
Phase One of the project includes developing the two southern parcels (APNs: 240-0062-028-0000 and 240-0062-091-0000), which total 1.3 acres, with a new self-storage facility, consisting of two single-story buildings totaling 16,600 square feet. The two parcels are zoned General Commercial (GC), which permits self-storage development and uses by-right. The operating hours are anticipated to be from 6am to 9pm every day. Because the two parcels are landlocked, a new driveway connection to Auburn Boulevard is proposed across the northern parcel (APN 240-0062-034-0000). Prior to the issuance of building permits, the development proposal is subject to non-discretionary design review (DRCP2025-00005) approval. However, because the driveway will be constructed on a separate parcel (APN: 240-0062-034-0000), and the driveway will be a component of both proposed Phases. Both Phases are included in this review. Implementation of Phase One of the project requires the following entitlements:
1. A Major Non-Discretionary Design Review to determine substantial compliance with the Sacramento County Countywide Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines) for a self-storage facility in the General Commercial (GC) zoning district.
2. Grading permit. As part of the improvement plan grading will occur to provide access from Auburn Boulevard via parcel (240-0062-034-0000) to Phase One parcels (240-0062-028-0000 and 240-0062-091-0000).
Construction of Phase One is anticipated to be completed in 2026 and would not require a compacted construction schedule.
Phase Two would occur on the northern 3.57-acre parcel, APN:240-0062-034-0000 and consists of the development of a commercial center offering retail or office units for lease, and has a tentative design footprint of three buildings and associated parking lot. These buildings would be served by the driveway constructed in Phase One (Plate IS-3). As the specifics of the commercial center have not been finalized it is believed that most businesses would operate 7am to 6pm Monday through Saturday, but some businesses may have different hours. Implementation of Phase Two of the project requires the following entitlements:
1. A General Plan Amendment of approximately 3.57 acres from the existing Low Density Residential (LDR) land use designation to the proposed Commercial and Office (COMM/OFF) land use designation.
2. A Community Plan Amendment of approximately 3.57 acres from the existing Residential 30 Dwelling Units Per Acre (RD-30) land use designation to the proposed General commercial (GC) land use designation.
3. A Rezone of approximately 3.57 acres from the existing Residential 30 Dwelling Units Per Acre (RD-30) zoning district to the proposed General commercial (GC) zoning district.
