Emerald Subdivision

The Emerald Subdivision project involves the rezoning and development of a 40.02-acre parcel in the Vineyard community of Sacramento County, located on the south side of Florin Road. The project aims to create a subdivision consisting of 148 single-family residential lots, two landscape lots, a 9.54-acre lot for a future school serviced by the Elk Grove Unified School District, a 2.35-acre park to be deeded to the Southgate Recreation and Park District, and a 0.55-acre water quality basin maintained by the County Department of Water Resources. The development also includes approximately 8 acres of roadways and 0.38 acres of landscape lots. To achieve these goals, the project requires four primary entitlements: a Specific Plan Amendment to update land use designations, a rezone from Agricultural-20 to various Residential Density and Park designations, a tentative subdivision map, and a design review to ensure compliance with Sacramento County Countywide Design Guidelines. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it conforms to the North Vineyard Station Specific Plan, though it must implement all applicable mitigation measures and follow the NVSSP Drainage Master Plan. Financially, the project applicant is responsible for an initial deposit of 10,400.00 dollars and must reimburse the County for all expenses related to the implementation and enforcement of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
