The City of Folsom completed a targeted multi-family and mixed-use housing study to evaluate design, density, and market feasibility for multi-family and residential mixed-use development along the East Bidwell Corridor, at the Glenn light rail station, and in the town center area of the Folsom Plan Area, south of US-50.
By encouraging new housing in these areas, which are near public transit, jobs, and services, this type of development would create a more walkable environment, reduce the need to use a car for trips, and provide more affordable housing opportunities. If adopted, the design standard recommendations would be used to guide future updates to the city’s general plan, specific plans, zoning code, and implement the city’s housing element. Following public outreach and extensive community input, city staff will present its recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council at public workshops in July.
