FAQs
The Antelope Acres Master Plan project is a private, developer-sponsored project to create a master plan that will allow residential development in the project site.
For more details on the project, including the location map and proposed land use plan, visit the County's Project Viewer.
A Master Plan is a document designed to implement the goals and policies of the County's General Plan. These plans generally contain specific development standards, zoning, infrastructure requirements, and implementation measures for development of a specific geographic area.
It is the intent of Sacramento County that Master Plans be utilized to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan and not to be used to circumvent the General Plan process in which general development policy is determined. The benefits of master planning process include:
- Provides a clear picture of the future regarding development of an area. Allows predictability for: (1) the general public; (2) County government and its constituent departments and agencies; and (3) the potential developer.
- Allows for a broad range of detailed information, beyond that usually obtained in traditional zoning applications and combined into a complete package. This consideration of a full range of issues provides an excellent foundation upon which to base land development decisions or future entitlements.
- Provides detail about project phasing and infrastructure and precisely correlates infrastructure with project land use avoiding the costly oversizing or detrimental undersizing of infrastructure.
- Provides an opportunity for citizen participation before the public hearing process developing understanding, acceptance and support for the project design.
- Allows some flexibility in zoning and development standards, which results in developments that are more responsive to the unique conditions of the site, and allows a project to respond to changing market conditions over time.
- The ability to establish a “master" or “tiered" environmental document, including appropriate mitigation measures, thus facilitating the consideration of subsequent development proposals.

The Planning and Environmental Review Division of the Community Development Department is leading the County's review of this developer-sponsored project as outlined in the County's adopted Master Plan Procedures and Preparation Guide.
The County's review will ensure that the project complies with adopted General Plan policies related to Master Plan, in addition to numerous other policies related to agriculture, safety, water supply, airport compatibility, open space, and biological resources.
The County will also manage the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the impacts of the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Early input from the community is valuable. You can provide feedback at a public outreach meeting by contacting staff, or by attending a public hearing.
The master-planning process requires the project to be taken to public hearings at the Antelope CPAC, Planning Commission, and Board of Supervisors. Members of the public will have an opportunity to voice their support for, or opposition to, the project at these hearings.
You can provide feedback directly to the County staff by emailing Young Choi, Associate Planner at choiy@saccounty.gov. Input will be provided to the applicant for their use, as the project is refined and potentially revised. The County will also use the input for analysis of the environmental impacts of the project and community compatibility.
The project is only in the preliminary stages of the master-planning process. Currently, the County is awaiting the submission of a formal application for the Master Plan.
Once a formal application is submitted to the County, staff will review it or completeness and start the public outreach to receive comments regarding the project.
