Citrus Heights Plans Community Meeting on Proposed Medical Office Building at City Hall Grounds

The following is a news release from the city of Citrus Heights: 

The City of Citrus Heights received an application for a project which would result in changes to the current City Hall grounds. The initial project submitted in July 2013 involved demolishing all of the existing buildings on the civic center campus, except for the police services building. The July plans showed a proposed new City Hall building, and a new three-story medical office building at the corner of Greenback Lane and Fountain Square Drive. In August 2013, a community workshop was held where a variety of input was given by the community.

The initial review of the application and feedback from the community has resulted in a new proposed site plan. The most significant change to the site plan is the removal of the City Hall building from the existing civic center campus. Many people had expressed concerns that the site did not contain adequate parking for both the City Hall and medical office building. (The City is reviewing the relocation of City Hall separately.)

The revised project still includes the medical office building located in the same general vicinity, near the corner of Fountain Square Drive and Greenback Lane. Similar to the earlier version of the site plan, a new parking lot would still be built to the north of the police services building.

The City will be hosting a community meeting on January 15, 2014 at 6:30 PM in the Citrus Heights Community Center (6300 Fountain Square Drive, next to Sam's Club). Plans of the project will be available for viewing. The community meeting will begin with a brief presentation about the project. Following the presentation, city staff and the developer for the medical office building will be available for questions.

In addition to the community meeting, you are also welcome to visit City Hall to review the proposed plans. For additional information, review the project's webpage.

Questions and comments about this project are welcomed by phone at (916) 727-4744or by email to Colleen McDuffee, Planning Manager at cmcduffee@citrusheights.net.
