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.
General Plan Update Preferred Land Use Alternative
The city is updating its 2006-era General Plan to guide growth through 2050. The choice of land use alternative decides how dense housing can get in office parks, along Folsom Boulevard and near light rail, where a new downtown goes, and how shopping centers can be redeveloped. It will also kick off the Environmental Impact Report and the next phase of goals and policies.
