I was monitoring yesterday and heard "58-" units on the S. Sac frequency, being dispatched to locations that could be in the Rancho area. The unit I remember is 58-501. Perhaps that is the new office's radio number.

East Sac - Rancho Cordova Area Office
Yes, 58 is the radio prefix identifier for Rancho Cordova units, as some of y'all heard.
And regards the [now] four-way facility swap for office moves, yup, it ain't happening cheaply.

Just to clarify CHP's jurisdiction in the Rancho Cordova area, for those that are uncertain about Law Enforcement jurisdiction in Sacramento County.
Incorporated is defined as a City.
Unincorporated is a region, township, community that is not controlled by a city.
Cities have police departments - Unincorporated areas have CHP and Sheriff's Departments.
There are exceptions, some governments have contracts or agreements to cover partially or fully another jurisdiction.
CHP handles all traffic collisions and the vast majority of reports of Vehicle Code violations in the unincorporated portions of Sacramento County. CHP also has responsibility for State properties such as the State Capital in downtown Sacramento. Police Departments handle all traffic collisions and vehicle code violations in their respective jurisdiction.
CHP does NOT have reporting/dispatch responsibility in the city of Rancho Cordova. This does not mean CHP can not write a ticket or enforce the law in the CITY of Rancho Cordova while they are patrol. This means when a citizen calls 911 on a cell phone to report an accident which is in the city of Rancho Cordova, the CHP dispatch center will transfer the caller to the Rancho Cordova Police Department. This would also apply to a report of a stolen vehicle in the city of Rancho Cordova.
The communities around the city of Rancho Cordova such as; Rosemont and Gold River are unincorporated portions handled by Sac Sheriff and CHP. CHP may have personnel stationed inside the boundaries of Rancho Cordova, but their area of responsibility is actually the outlying areas. There are very specific laws and inter-agency agreements that determine jurisdiction.
Listed on the Rancho Cordova PD website are PDF files of they City/Jurisdiction boundaries.

The building on Trade Center drive is that white one in the industrial area where some of the BI's work out of, correct?

Okay - How about each individual zone map? - Each of the 4 zone maps are under 1MB.

Rancho Cordova CHP Area Office -News Article
News article:
New CHP office will serve area 1/26/2009
Published January 24, 2009
A new California Highway Patrol office opens this month and residents can expect to see more officers patrolling Highway 16. In other business at this month's Community Services District board meeting, there was an update on negotiations with developers for a financing agreement to provide more than $10 million in new infrastructure.
The CHP expansion will be the second increase in law enforcement presence in three months for Rancho Murieta. A realignment of the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department service area last October resulted in more patrols and more use of the James L. Noller Safety Center.
“It’s our goal to reduce response times. … We want to make a bigger impression on Highway 16,” said CHP Lt. Greg Ferrero at the Community Services District board meeting Wednesday. Ferrero is the commander of the recently created Rancho Cordova Area, which covers eastern Sacramento County and extends into El Dorado County.
“With the budget the way it is, we’re blessed to finally have an office serving eastern Sacramento County,” Ferrero said. “We will be known as the Rancho Cordova office.”
The new office will start with 28 officers, CHP Lt. Greg Ferrero said.
The reorganization plan has been in the works for years, he told the CSD board. What helped to make it possible now was funding from the governor for “a few hundred additional positions,” he said.
Ferrero said every CHP division in the state received additional officer positions, and the Valley Division used its allotment to create the Rancho Cordova office. He said the office will have 28 officers when it opens Jan. 30, and more will be added in the coming months.
The reorganization allows other CHP offices to reduce their boundaries and keep the same number of officers “so it’s going to affect the whole area positively, with more officers on the road,” Ferrero said.
“We’re happy to see you on the highway,” said Security Chief Greg Remson.
President Bobbi Belton asked Ferrero to explain the limits of the CHP’s authority on the private streets of Rancho Murieta. “We have a very limited responsibility within your boundaries,” Ferrero said. “On private property, the majority of the Motor Vehicle Code does not apply. It’s just like a Safeway parking lot. So speeding laws, the seatbelt laws, the general moving violations, equipment violations do not apply on private property.”
On the other hand, “Laws like hit and run, DUI, they do apply,” he said.
Additionally, “if we view a violation on Highway 16 and we attempt to make a stop and they turn into the gate, we can – I don’t know if pursue is the right word – but we can follow in,” he said.
Ferrero acknowledged the potential for problems on Highway 16, a heavily traveled, two-lane road. Last year, two accidents occurred on the stretch of Highway 16 between the North and South entrances in a month’s time, causing serious injuries and one death.
This month’s security logs report a road-rage incident that began on the highway and continued through the North Gate, and the Jan. 19 log reports a traffic stop the Sheriff’s Department made at the Country Store for a vehicle clocked on radar at 112 mph. Construction of a new elementary school on the present site next to highway is scheduled to begin in June and continue through next year, adding to existing traffic problems at that location.
The Rancho Cordova CHP office is located at 11336 Trade Center Drive. The phone number is 464-2090.

Being that close, you may be able to pick up CHP traffic on the extender frequency 154.9050. That would make it much easier to monitor than the low band frequencies.
CHP traffic
Actually that logic is backwards. The extender signals are transmitted by CHP cars, not by the "offices". However, a close proximity to an office might enable someone to pick up the 72MHz signals, which are otherwise 'line of sight' directional beams. I have no problems picking up low band, other than using CT settings to filter noise. All people need is a good VHF antenna.
I have a rooftop antenna with an integrated pre-amp (the antenna itself has an electrical charge fed to it) and extender traffic begins to get noisy somewhere around 0.3 miles distance and that is for the car's transmission. Hearing the officer's handheld is even more marginal. I live a few stone's throws from a CHP coffee break spot and thus receive frequent extender traffic from the car. On a scanner extender traffic sounds like it comes in pulses. I read something about 1-2 years ago that explained the technical reasons for this but I don't recall them right now. The pulsing is so annoying I only listen to the extender frequency while mobile.

I only said that based on my experience of being able to pick up extender traffic every time I am near a CHP office (S. Sac along Hwy-99, N. Sac along I-80).
The traffic is most likely coming from a patrol car parked in the lot but it may also be coming from an extender installed at the office that allows the officers to hear traffic on portables while in the office.
Either way I always get extender traffic when near a CHP office.

Here's a news article about the new Rancho Cordova field office. There is a map of the coverage.

Wrong Map
EDIT: I see you have the same map as the story, it just seems odd that this new area is ONLY in El Dorado County, but serviced from Sacramento county. It would make more sense to extend the new area down to at least Hazel avenue in Sacramento county.
Are you sure you attached the correct map? That looks more like an outline of the city of El Dorado Hills than it does unincorporated Sacramento county near Rancho Cordova.

This article is from an El Dorado Hills newspaper specifically addresses El Dorado coverage. The map is used to demonstrate the coverage in the El Dorado Hills.
CHP's jurisdication boundaries have not changed, just the organization of resources. As always, CHP can utilize their own resources from adjacent areas to handle calls for service, especially at bordering offices such as North & South Sac CHP offices.

CHP Conducting R.A.I.D. in the Newly Established Rancho Cordova Area
In an ongoing effort to significantly reduce the number of traffic accidents and injuries related to driving under the influence (DUI), the California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be conducting a R.A.I.D. (Rapid Apprehension of Impaired Drivers) strike force operation on Friday, January 30th in the Rancho Cordova Area at 7 p.m.
The R.A.I.D. program uses grant-funded overtime to enable the CHP to significantly increase the number of officers on patrol and to deploy them at times and locations in which a high incidence of DUI-related collisions have historically occurred. Led by CHP Valley Division Chief Stan Perez, he and nearly a dozen two-person units will be conducting roving DUI patrols within the Rancho Cordova area and El Dorado Hills
area, as well as a fully-staffed command post at the CHP’s newly established Rancho Cordova Area Office, which became fully functional as the 109th area office on January 30, 2009.
Below are dates and statistics demonstrating the success of past R.A.I.D. deployments:
§ 9/19/08, Stockton, 57 arrests
§ 9/26-27/08, Chico/Oroville, 53 arrests
§ 11/08/08, Woodland Area, 33 arrests
§ 11/15/08, Stockton Area, 53 arrests
§ 12/19/08, South Sacramento Area, 61 arrests
§ 12/20/08, North Sacramento Area, 55 arrests

Thanks Scannerboy!
Thanks for the info Scannerboy. This is good to know before hand.

It sounds like that on their portables too... The repeater stops transmitting ever xxx milliseconds and listens for a portable key-up in case the officer needs to transmit.
