Montano de El Dorado Phase Two commercial subdivision timeline
The 12-lot commercial map along Latrobe Road in El Dorado Hills was set to expire; the extension keeps the shopping center expansion entitlements alive through 2030. The developer cited two family deaths in the ownership group as the reason work stalled.
Chick-fil-A with drive-thru near Headington Road
A 4,880-square-foot Chick-fil-A with a two-lane drive-thru is proposed next to residential uses at Missouri Flat and Headington roads. The committee endorsed it but asked for a softer building color.
Rescue area four-lot subdivision on Deer Valley Road
A 39-acre parcel between Green Valley Road and Duncan Hill Road is being split into four roughly 10-acre residential lots, adding new home sites near the Rescue rural center. One lot is slightly under the 10-acre minimum but qualifies for a parcel size exception.

A plan to convert a small apartment building into condos was delayed to March 12, so the rental-to-ownership change remains in limbo for now.

Carson Creek Village 11 road improvement timing
Lennar Homes won approval to delay the required Royal Oaks Drive extension and Latrobe Road traffic signal for its Heritage at Carson Creek Village 11 final maps. El Dorado Hills residents worry about traffic before the improvements land.
