Panhandle Annexation and Planned Unit Development

The Panhandle Cononelos Project (DR25-165) is a comprehensive development initiative by the City of Sacramento involving the annexation and development of approximately 589.4 acres located within the City's Sphere of Influence, bounded by West Elkhorn Boulevard to the north and Del Paso Road to the south. The overarching scope includes an amendment to the 2035 General Plan, pre-zoning and rezoning of the project area, the establishment of a master parcel map for the Panhandle Planned Unit Development (PUD), and the execution of tax exchange and development agreements. The project also incorporates a Mixed Income Housing Strategy and a Public Facilities Financing Plan, with the long-term goal of constructing approximately 2,660 residential units and associated infrastructure. A specific component of this project involves the construction of 165 single-unit dwellings on approximately 40 gross acres. These dwellings are situated within the Single-Unit Dwelling (R-1-PUD) and Single Unit or Duplex Dwelling (R-1A-PUD) zones, adhering to the Suburban Neighborhood Low Density (SNLD) general plan designation. The development utilizes three specific land use designations: Estate, Traditional, and Village. The project has been approved as of May 21, 2026, following a certified Environmental Impact Report and compliance with CEQA provisions and a project-specific Mitigation Monitoring Plan. Administrative oversight is managed by the City of Sacramento Community Development Department Planning Division, with Beazer Homes Holdings, LLC serving as a project applicant.
