Frequently Asked Questions
WHY IS THE PROPERTY BEING REDEVELOPED?
The former drug store is no longer viable, and the building has faced persistent issues with vacancy, trespassing, and vandalism. Redevelopment returns the property to productive use and improves the corridor.
Why storage instead of retail or housing?
Traditional retail is no longer viable at this site. After extensive marketing, the only retailer willing to execute a contract to lease the current space is a discount dollar store chain, which the developer doesn’t believe is the best use or option for the property. Storage generates significantly less traffic, is quiet, and meets a demonstrated demand among nearby residents and medical campuses.
How tall will the building be?
The current proposal is 65 feet tall and conforms to the zoning height limit.
How will this affect traffic?
Storage uses create far fewer vehicle trips than drugstores or other commercial operations. This project is expected to reduce traffic compared to previous uses.
What about the neighbors on Seville?
The building footprint has been pulled back, creating a new ten-foot landscaped setback where none exists today. This adds a buffer and helps soften the transition to nearby homes. The height of the building on the side facing residential has been reduced to just two stories and then stepped up the building to create an equally sized structure facing the 38’ tall single-family condos adjacent to it.
What does this mean for Fire Station 4?
The building is being designed to accommodate a potential future fire station on the ground floor, though that decision rests with the City.
Who owns the project? Who is managing it?
The property is owned by Texas Investment Company, which is owned by Sacramento developer Paul Petrovich. The project applicant is SGW Architects.
