Planning Department

Industrial Sites Analysis

Project Description

Pursuant to Council direction, City of Elk Grove staff is beginning a project to review the amount, location, and character of the industrial areas of the City.  The intent of this project is to ensure that the City has the right amount of industrial land and that industrial areas are compatible with surrounding uses.

Additionally, the City will be looking at the types of uses that are appropriate in the existing industrial areas.  Industrial properties have historically been reserved for manufacturing, storage, and processing of goods.  Some property owners have suggested that other uses, including offices, restaurants, and public assembly, are compatible, too. While allowing these uses within industrial areas would create additional economic opportunities, it may also reduce the City’s inventory of industrial property.  These issues will be explored as part of this special project.
