Community Development

Modernizing Local Regulations to Foster Economic Growth

As part of the City’s 2025 – 2027 Economic Development Work Plan, Citrus Heights is advancing efforts to ensure its zoning and regulatory framework is modern, business‑friendly, and aligned with community goals. A cornerstone of this initiative is the Zoning Code Update 2025, which will enhance clarity, support quality development, and streamline processes for businesses and developers.

This proactive update is designed to support vibrant commercial corridors, facilitate investment in key opportunity areas, and help realize the City’s long‑term vision for a thriving, connected community.

Supporting Success for Citrus Heights Businesses

By refining development standards and aligning them with current priorities, Citrus Heights is making it easier for businesses and property owners to bring forward great projects that benefit the entire community.

Infrastructure

Paving the Way: What Businesses Need to Know About Road Work in Citrus Heights

Citrus Heights is making a historic investment in our roads through a bold 3‑year Pavement Strategy, resurfacing up to 52 centerline miles per year — a 2 500 % increase over past efforts. To help the business community understand how this work is planned, scheduled, and delivered, the City has released a “Transforming Our Roads” reference flyer.

The flyer explains why paving activities occur when they do, the resurfacing methods used, and how the City maximizes limited resources for the greatest impact. It also details project prioritization, seasonal constraints, and coordination with other improvements.

Pick up a copy at City Hall or view it online at citrusheights.net/PMP.

Whether your business relies on foot traffic, deliveries, or customer access, staying informed helps you plan ahead. Thank you for being a part of our city’s infrastructure transformation!
