Folsom's Planning Commission voted 6-0 to approve a new two-story office building at 6609 Folsom-Auburn Road, the final piece of the Sheba Office Park development near Greenback Lane.
The commission's approval, recorded in meeting minutes posted by the city, clears the way for Sheba Development LLC to build a 3,958-square-foot office building on two commercial condominium lots. Chair Eileen Reynolds presided over the meeting. Commissioner Amanda Ross was absent.
Vice Chair Dan West moved to approve the project. Commissioner Dianna Laney seconded.
The building, labeled Building "A" in city records, would stand just under 32 feet tall and feature earth-tone stucco siding with stone accents, an arched entry and second-story patio and balcony space, according to a staff report prepared for the Oct. 21, 2026, hearing. Senior planner Josh Kinkade served as the project planner.
The Sheba Office Park site sits at the corner of Folsom-Auburn Road and Greenback Lane. A retail building borders it to the north, a gas station and Folsom-Auburn Road to the west, single-family homes to the east and Greenback Lane to the south, the staff report states.
The 1.7-acre office park dates to a 2009 City Council approval that authorized three buildings totaling 11,930 square feet. Building "B" at 6607 Folsom-Auburn Road was constructed in 2018. Building "C" at 6603 Folsom-Auburn Road was approved in 2025 and is under construction, according to the staff report.
The new design differs from the building originally approved in 2009. That version called for a 34-foot-tall, 4,123-square-foot structure. The revised plan is shorter and smaller, with updated architectural elements. City staff determined the changes required a new design review but not a modification to the planned development permit.
No public comments had been received as of the staff report's writing. The commission approved the project subject to 69 conditions of approval.
The commission also announced that its Dec. 16, 2026, meeting is canceled. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 20, 2027.
