Good evening, everybody.

I will call to order the Elk Grove Planning Commission regular meeting Thursday, August 24th at 6 p.m.

I'll start with the land acknowledgement.

We honor, respect, and acknowledge Elk Grove's first inhabitants, the Plains of Miwok, who lived as sovereign caretakers of this land and these waterways since time immemorial.

We commemorate and advocate for their descendants, the Wilton Rancheria tribe, the only federally recognized tribe in Sacramento County who endure because of the bravery, resiliency, and detrimentation of their ancestors, tribal members, and leaders.

Please silence your electronic devices.

And Sandy, will you please read the customary greeting?

The Elk.

Good evening, Mr.

Chair, members of the planning commission.

Joseph Dagamin, associate planner with the community development department.

This is the Elkgrove Sports Center Retail Building and Map Project.

Tonight's project consists of a major design review for the construction of a single story commercial building, totaling approximately 19,700 square feet, along with associated parking, landscaping, and lighting improvements.

Construction of the building will occur on building pad C of the Elk Grove Sports Center Complex.

Also included as part of this project is a tentative parcel map to subdivide one existing parcel into two parcels.

I'll make note and I'll mention in the presentation later.

The new building will be located on a separate parcel.

And this project will be subject to the climate action plan for non-residential development.

The project site is located at 3443 Laguna Boulevard, the north side of Laguna Boulevard, approximately 300 feet west of Dwight Road.

The Elkgrove Sports Center complex consists of two parcels.

Parcel one is approximately 20.88 parcels acres, and then parcel two is approximately 2.83.

The complex is currently developed with an approximately 188,000 square foot building, along with parking lot, landscaping and lighting improvements, as well as pads for future building construction.

Surrounding the project site include the Sacramento Sacramento Asian Sports Foundation and the Apple Campus to the west, a drainage facility to the north, industrial uses and vacant land to the east, and residential to the south.

Just a little bit of background history of the site.

The site was initially developed in 1997 prior to the city's incorporation.

It was approved and constructed with that 188,000 square foot building.

At the time, it was approved as an industrial building for manufacturing and distribution, which was occupied by JVC Electronics.

In 2002, the property went vacant.

Going to 2007, the city approved a rezone for the from light industrial to general commercial, which allowed for more commercial uses to occupy the building.
