The Rio Linda/Elverta Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC) met
September 9th. After recommending approval of infill development,
including five lot splits, a ten-lot subdivision and a
residential accessory dwelling, it deliberated on the Elverta Specific
Plan.
The CPAC first voted unanimously to reject the Elverta Specific Plan
(ESP) as prepared by the County.
CPAC then unanimously adopted recommendations and conditions to be
recommended to the County "If the Board of Supervisors, despite the
strong opposition voiced by the community, approves the Elverta
Specific Plan".
The CPAC recommendations and conditions for the ESP were substantially
the same as those reported in The NEWS on September 11. The text of the
recommendations are on line, as part of the September 9 CPAC minutes,
on the County Planning web site at
http://www.co.sacramento.ca.us/planning/meetings/riolinda.html.
CPAC members present and participating were Chairman Hal Morris,
Secretary Jim Rogaski, Jeff Bair, Nancy Bosley, Dudley Dufort and Don
Logan. Sacramento County Principal Planner Leighann Moffitt represented
Sacramento County. As many as 35 others were in attendance.

Elverta Specific Plan
CPAC vote clarification
by Jay O'Brien
Last week I reported that the Rio Linda/Elverta Community Planning
Advisory Council (CPAC) at its September 9th meeting unanimously
rejected the Elverta Specific Plan (ESP) as prepared by the county.
That is a fact, as reflected in the minutes posted on the County web
site at http://www.co.sacramento.ca.us/planning/meetings/riolinda.html.
The ESP was considered by CPAC after seven other items. I reported the
names of the CPAC members present and participating, and I included
Jeff Bair, who is a landowner in the ESP area. Bair excused himself
from the meeting during the discussion and vote on the ESP. The votes
taken on the ESP were unanimous; Mr. Bair, however, was not present.
