Board of Supervisors 6/11/25

Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 11, 2025, detailing the approval of the West Jackson Highway Master Plan.  The core of the discussion revolves around the repurposing of approximately 5,900 acres of former mining land into a developed community, addressing the region's housing needs by planning for 16,418 dwelling units and associated infrastructure like parks, trails, and commercial areas. A significant point of debate involves affordable housing strategies and mitigation efforts for unavoidable environmental impacts, particularly noise near the airport, which requires a specific four-fifths vote for approval of residential uses. The applicants highlight the project's innovative land reuse and its potential to generate 29,000 jobs and provide significant storm water detention, aiming for carbon neutrality.
