Construction activity can be seen at the long-vacant lot on the corner of Antelope Road and Roseville Road, just outside the border of Citrus Heights.
The lot, across from Home Depot and Chevron, is slated to become an ARCO gas station and Sonic restaurant, according to previous reports.
Sacramento County Associate Planner Eric Stackhouse told The Sentinel via email on March 21 that building permits have now been issued, construction is occurring, and the first building inspection took place on Feb. 14. Framing could be seen going up at the site over the past week, with grading and other preliminary work beginning last year.
The site under construction is located at Roseville Pointe, a portion of unincorporated Sacramento County that was previously under consideration for annexation by the city. Potential annexation would expand the borders of Citrus Heights to include the lot at the corner of Antelope Road and Roseville Road, as well a strip of nearby homes located along Roseville Road.
A representative of Inspire Brands, the parent company of Sonic, previously told The Sentinel the location was scheduled to open in late 2024. In an earlier report, Stackhouse said that the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved the project back in 2017.
Inspire Brands also owns Arby’s, Baskin Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Jimmy John’s Sandwiches. The company lists 32,000 restaurants on its website.
