Community Elements<br />

Fair Oaks Boulevard has traditionally<br />

served the Carmichael<br />

community. In the planning<br />

area are uses that contribute to<br />

the sense of community. These<br />

include residential uses, grocery<br />

stores, churches,<br />

Carmichael Park, the post<br />

office and a school. These<br />

uses can be integrated into the<br />

planning to enhance the<br />

Boulevards role as the community’s<br />

“main street”.<br />
