Community Region Design Standards

Starting in May 2025, the County began working with community members to create permanent design standards for new multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial projects in the County's Community Regions—beginning with Shingle Springs, followed by El Dorado/Diamond Springs, Cameron Park, and El Dorado Hills. 

The Shingle Springs community design standards and guidelines are complete and effective as of 4/3/2026.

The El Dorado/Diamond Springs design standards and guidelines are complete and effective as of 11/30/2026.

Complete commercial and multi-family design standards can be found on the Planning Division webpage.
