Baltimore Ravine, the last large chunk of developable land in Auburn, will be the subject of two important meetings in Auburn City Hall next week. On Tuesday at 6 p.m., the city council and planning commission will conduct a joint session to review the specific plan and environmental review processes necessary for the major development proposed for the 392-acre area. It will be an informational meeting conducted in large part by city staff and consultants and no testimony or action will be taken.
On Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. city officials will conduct a public
“scoping” session to inform the public and interested agencies about
the environmental impact report that is being prepared and to solicit
comments. The proposed project site is in the southwest portion
of the city and is generally bounded by the Union Pacific railroad
tracks on the south, Auburn-Folsom Road on the east, and I-80 on the
north and northwest. The city has received an application to
develop 264 acres of the area, with the remaining 128 acres to be
rezoned for future development. The proposed specific plan
envisions development of upward of 1,300 residential units and more
than 120,000 square feet of mixed uses, including high-density
residential, office and retail in a village center. Sixty acres would
be designated as open space. Questions should be directed to Adrienne L. Graham, a planning consultant, at 916-206-0135.
