Elverta Specific Plan
The Elverta Specific Planning
area is located in northern Sacramento County. The planning area contains
approximately 1,800 acres to be developed with 4,500 units of housing as
designated by the Rio Linda
& Elverta Community Plan adopted
by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in June 1998. The specific
planning will build on the Community Plan by providing planning concepts
for land use, circulation, public facilities, and parks. In addition, the
plan will include development and design standards and implementation requirements.

Citizens' Advisory Committee
The Board of Supervisors have selected 11 members of the community as their advisors for the specific plan. The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) is comprised of property owners, residents from within and outside the Elverta area.
- Steve Chamberlain, Elverta Specific Plan Owners' Group
- Mark Perlberger, Elverta Specific Plan Owners' Group
- Billie Helms, Resident within Plan area
- Helen Johnson, Resident within Plan area
- Diana Salter, Resident outside Plan area
- John Victor Shepherd Sr., Resident outside Plan area
- Deborah Byrne, Rio Linda & Elverta CPAC
- Hal Morris, Rio Linda & Elverta CPAC
- David Sullivan, Rio Linda & Elverta Recreation and Park District Board
- Claudette Mitchel-Weismantel, Placer County MAC
- Lori Volz, Library Foundation
Over the next 3-1/2 months the CAC will develop a set of planning concepts for the Elverta area. The concepts will explore various patterns of housing, open space, public facility and neighborhood commercial services. By May 26, the CAC will need to be prepared to forward a preferred concept plan to the Board of Supervisors and review with the Board planning issues and opportunities and planning options explored. The CAC is responsible for:
1. Developing up to five (5) alternative land use and circulation concepts reflecting the Rio Linda/Elverta Community Plan policies.
2. Recommend and present the alternatives and recommend a preferred concept at a Board of Supervisors workshop.
Based on the direction from the CAC and the Board, the County, with input from property owner consultants, will prepare development standards, CEQA documents, and implementation requirements for the specific plan. The specific plan and related EIR is to be completed within 29 months.
The CAC will meet five times over the next months.
