The Folsom City Council met in a special session at 5:00 PM for closed session matters (labor negotiations, litigation, and real property negotiation) and then convened for a regular meeting at 6:30 PM. The regular meeting included a quarterly development report, changes to the by-district election mapping schedule, approval of a 115-lot subdivision, and a lengthy discussion on PG&E's planned tree removal along transmission line corridors. Council members expressed strong frustration with PG&E's lack of cooperation and lack of attendance.

Anyone in the room? All right, we'll move on then. Okay. Please call first item. All right, your first item this evening is scheduled presentation item number one. This is the Folsom Plan Area Quarterly Report. Good evening, Mayor, members of the city council. This item before you is our regular quarterly report of development activity in the Folsom plan area. So this is for third quarter of 2021, July July 1st through September 30th. We go over planning activity, infrastructure site engineering work, tentative maps and final maps that have come before you, building in activity, and then any information that we've been updating on the city's website. As a reminder, we have a new map showing the approved and final maps, subdivision maps within the specific plan area. So this is the land use map overlaid by the neighborhood planning and land maps. Over the last 90-day period, we received four new uh planning entitlements, the shops commercial center, which was a minor modification to the plan development that was previously approved, and then two map extensions for tentative subdivision maps, vesting tentative subdivision maps. That's the acronym VTSM, and then a preliminary project review for another commercial project within the project area. And so I'm gonna just show some of those exhibits again. There's no intent to go over any details just to make you aware of projects that are in the pipeline, either to be decided by uh the commission or uh the council as it is. So um the shops, this is uh an exhibit that shows the uh exhibits for um the shops commercial site on the southeast corner of East Bidwell and Alder Creek Parkway. We have the um extensions of the maps that were previously approved for Broadstone Estates and Folsom Heights, and we have the application for what's called South Point Commercial Project. This is preliminary, so it's not a formal entitlement. They're just asking for feedback from all the city's departments and agencies based on their preliminary plan. Over the last 90-day period, the city took final action on several projects within the plan area, um, both planning commission and city council. The White Rock Springs Ranch Village 9 design review, and those exhibits are showing what was approved, Mangeny Place, St. Anton's. This is the affordable uh housing or affordable apartment design review. Russell Ranch phase two map amendments and design review. The development agreement amendment uh involving UC Davis.
