PUBLIC COMMENT
14. LIBRARY MASTER GARDNER MOU
In March of 2021, the Loomis Library and Community Learning Center was approached by the
UC Master Gardeners of Placer County with the idea of creating community demonstration
gardens on the grounds of the Library. The Loomis Library and the UC Master Gardeners of
Placer County have long-standing partnership, including many public workshops and the Seed
Library. The community has always responded well to these partnerships, with many of the
workshops being among our best attended.
Staff believes using the Library grounds for a space for community gardens would be mutually
beneficial to the UC Master Gardeners, the Library, and the community as a whole. This
partnership will help to beautify the existing library grounds, as well as creating an outdoor
classroom that will be usable for library events.
7/6/2022 4:23 PM P:\Clerk\1 Agendas\2022\10 July 12,2022\0 Agenda June 12, 2022 TC.doc 3
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding with the Regents of
the University of California, on behalf of UC Agriculture and Natural Resources and its UC
Cooperative Extension Placer County for its Master Gardener Program, for a demonstration
garden at the Loomis Library and Community Learning Center.
PUBLIC COMMENT
15. SIERRA CHRISTIAN CHURCH - Request for processing General Plan/Land Use Amendment
Sierra Christian Church has approached the Town under the current 2020-2040 General Plan Update
process to request a Land Use Designation Change from Residential Estate designation (1 dwelling unit
per 2.3 acres) to Residential High Density (10-15 dwelling units per acre) at 5645 Rocklin Road (APN 045-
150-033). The General Plan Land Use Committee denied their request to be included in the General
Plan Update process and directed Sierra Christian Church to proceed with a formal request to the Town
Council for their consideration in moving forward with their proposal.
As required in Chapter 13.76.020(B), at this time, the applicant seeks Council approval to
proceed with a General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation amendment outside of the
Town’s regular General Plan Update process which is anticipated to be completed in December
2022.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution #22-** to allow Sierra Christian Church to proceed with filing an application for a new
project that will require a General Plan and Land Use Designation Map Amendment for a proposed 70
units senior (62+) affordable housing project in multiple buildings within the existing five acre site of the
Sierra Christian Church and Loomis Head Start location.
