Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cordova public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Cordova Arena and Downtown DOVA Project
The council locked in the city's biggest-ever development: an arena, hotel, and downtown district at Kilgore and Trade Center Drive. The city waives building fees, covers up to $13.5 million in impact fees over time, and shares sales and hotel tax revenue for 35 years — but only if the arena is built and stays open, with new amendments letting the city suspend payments or terminate if it goes dark.
Flock surveillance camera audit request
Resident Autumn Greeshop pressed the council to independently audit who has accessed the city's Flock camera data and to suspend the program, citing breaches, lawsuits, and cities canceling contracts.
Zoning Dispute
Rancho Cordova is getting sued for allegedly bending zoning rules to approve a giant billboard. Critics say the city played favorites for a company connected to them, ignoring proper procedures.
Street Name Change
Rancho Cordova might be ditching a street name that's causing offense. The City Council is considering the change, so get ready for a new sign if it goes through!
