Community Councils

Four pilot Community Councils have been formed in the unincorporated communities of Arden Arcade, Carmichael/Old Foothill Farms, Fair Oaks and Rio Linda/Elverta. Patterned after the County's Planning Commission, the Councils are geared to provide local control over many land-use issues that affect the community's quality of life. They replaced their area's Community Planning Advisory Council, a panel that provided advisory recommendations to land-use issues.
