Plans withdrawn for expanding Citrus Heights mobile home park

By Sara Beth Williams–
Plans to expand a mobile home park near Van Maren Lane with up to 20 additional home lots appear to have halted.

Lakeview Village had previously submitted an application with plans to expand in February 2022, but the city confirmed in an email last month that the project was withdrawn due to “lack of activity.”

The location for the planned remodel and expansion is located on Oak Lakes Lane next to the entrance Lakeview Village. Documents submitted to the city in November 2023 called for the redevelopment of an existing parking lot and an adjacent vacant lot. A project description posted on the city’s website indicated 20 additional mobile home lots were proposed, while a site plan map appeared to show 16 spots.

The application for expansion sat dormant for several months, waiting for revised plans from the project applicant, the city said. Applications that sit without a response for six months are considered withdrawn.

City spokesperson Marisa Brown said in an email that prior to withdrawing an application under review, the city sends the applicant a letter providing them an opportunity to request the application remain open. The applicant did not resubmit documents within the allotted time frame needed to keep the application active, and the applicant also did not request an extension.

“City code does allow for a 12-month extension; however, if the applicant is actively working on the project, we may grant longer extensions,” the city said.

An initial draft of the site plan showed the proposed addition of several mobile home lots ranging in size from 59 feet by 75 feet to 49 by 75 feet. Plans also called for the addition of up to 63 new 12-foot by 40-foot storage parking spaces.

Neither Barrel Consulting Group or the property owner responded to a request for comment regarding whether expansion plans had changed and why an extension was not requested.
