El Dorado Hills APAC Wed June 10, 2026 6:30PM HYBRID Meeting
Published: Jun 10, 2026
Weed Abatement and Fire Risk Concerns Highlighted
Concerns were raised regarding weed abatement and fire risk, particularly on properties owned by Bill Parker, which are reportedly inundated with signs and have high weed growth. The fire department representative explained the process of identifying vacant lots for inspection and working with property owners on abatement plans, noting that construction sites are exempt from vacant lot regulations. The discussion also touched upon the issue of fire risk due to overgrown vegetation near residential areas and the potential impact on homeowner insurance [cite: 546-576].
Traffic Updates: Road Closures, Roundabout Progress, and Costco Impact Concerns
Several traffic-related issues were discussed, including road closures and potential future projects. White Rock Road was closed at Carson Crossing due to emergency repairs by the City of Folsom. A roundabout at Bass Lake and Bryan is progressing with funding secured for design and environmental review, with construction funding anticipated through grants within the next few years. Southbound Silva Valley Road at Clarksville will be closed all summer for sewage line installation for a new housing development. The potential impact of a Costco development on traffic was a significant concern, prompting discussions about allocating future revenue for local traffic improvements [cite: 125-131, 143-148, 153-154, 207, 255-256, 260-267, 414, 744-745, 755-756, 764-765, 783-786, 788-794].
APAC Reviews Upcoming Projects and Emphasizes Community Input on EIRs
The El Dorado Hills Area Planning Advisory Committee (APAC) discussed various upcoming projects and the process for public review of environmental documents. Key projects include Marble Valley, Lime Rock Valley, Gateway Eldorado, Generations in Green Valley, Costco, and Serrano Village D1. APAC highlighted the challenge of reviewing extensive environmental impact reports (EIRs) with limited volunteer time and stressed the importance of community involvement in providing feedback to ensure projects are well-considered and impacts are addressed [cite: 637-670, 746-834].
El Dorado Hills May Retain Revenue from Potential Costco for Local Improvements
A proposal was discussed to potentially allocate a portion of future sales tax and property tax revenue generated by a potential Costco development to El Dorado Hills for local traffic improvements. This proposal, to be presented to the Board of Supervisors on June 23rd, aims to ensure that El Dorado Hills benefits from the impacts of such a development, rather than the revenue being distributed countywide. The discussion also touched upon the complexities of revenue generation, the lack of a development agreement for Costco, and historical precedents for local revenue retention for infrastructure improvements in other areas of the county, such as Missouri Flat [cite: 151-163, 173-180, 386-390, 392-393, 400-412, 414-415, 417, 535-538, 541-542, 590, 597-599].
County Governance Updates: New CAO, Entertainment Zones, and APAC's Role
The meeting covered discussions on local governance, including the appointment of a new CAO, Sue Phillips, who is reportedly empowering department heads and adopting a more CEO-like model. Supervisor Greg Ferrero presented updates on county matters, including traffic issues, potential funding mechanisms for local improvements, and the concept of entertainment zones. The role and function of APAC were also clarified, emphasizing their focus on impact assessment and community input rather than project approval or denial [cite: 132-139, 151-163, 236-239, 914-921].
