Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Citrus Heights public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Setback variance on a narrow parcel
The 150-foot-wide lot can't fit a working fire station with standard 20-foot side setbacks, so the commission granted relief down to about 4.4 feet on the east side — still leaving nearly 30 feet between the building and neighboring homes.
Opposition to AB 626 Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKO)
The council voted to oppose state legislation that would permit home-based restaurants in residential neighborhoods, citing concerns over food safety, fire hazards, and neighborhood nuisance issues.
Temporary Sign Regulations in the Public Right-of-Way
The council discussed city regulations governing temporary signs in the public right-of-way, addressing issues with unauthorized political and commercial signs and agreeing to focus on public education.
