Long Range

Specific Plans

Long Range

Specific Plans

A Specific Plan is a comprehensive planning and zoning document for a defined geographic region of the City. It implements the General Plan by providing a special set of development standards applied to a particular geographic area.

Central City Specific Plan

In 2015, the Downtown Housing Initiative was launched to bring 10,000 new housing units in the next 10 years to the Central City. The Central City Specific Plan takes that initiative further, by looking at growth opportunities for the next twenty years and beyond. Through plan development, the City highlighted and evaluated opportunity sites ready for development. The City worked with development experts, community-based interest groups, and the community at large to achieve the best plan possible through engagement tools including stakeholder meetings, community workshops, and online engagement. The Central City Specific Plan was adopted on April 19, 2018.

River District Specific Plan

The River District Specific Plan supports the transformation of the largely industrial 773-acre River District Area into a transit-oriented mixed use urban environment that would include 8,144 dwelling units, 3.956 million square feet of office, 854,000 square feet of retail/wholesale, 1.463 million square feet light industrial, and 3,044 hotel units. The vision for the River District is that of an eclectic mix of uses that will evolve from a primarily light-industrial, low-intensity commercial district, to a series of distinctive walkable neighborhoods contiguous to the American River at the northern gateway into the Central City.

The River District Specific Plan is currently undergoing an update. To learn more about the update process and sign up for email updates, please visit the River District Specific Plan Update project webpage.

Sacramento Center for Innovation (SCI) Specific Plan

The Sacramento Center for Innovation (SCI) Specific Plan covers the area bounded by California State University, Sacramento on the north, Union Pacific Railroad on the west and Power Inn Road/Granite Regional Park on the east. Currently, the area south of the existing Regional Transit light rail tracks (the Ramona Avenue area) is primarily heavy commercial, light industrial and heavy industrial uses. The Plan envisions the area as a hub for innovative business and clean technology industries.

Stockton Blvd Plan

The Stockton Blvd Plan includes both a Specific Plan and a Neighborhood Action Plan. The Specific Plan establishes a framework for decision-making around development and other activities within the Specific Plan Area, especially to streamline the development of housing. Meanwhile, the Neighborhood Action Plan focuses on guiding collaborative efforts to address the community’s priorities along Stockton Boulevard and in the surrounding neighborhoods and includes action that can be led by the community or City. The Stockton Blvd Plan is the result of a partnership between the City and community members—residents, business owners, and local organizations—working together to promote development along the corridor that advances racial equity and respond to the needs of historically underserved and marginalized populations.

Swanston Station Transit Village Specific Plan

The Swanston Station Transit Village Specific Plan is a long-range urban design and implementation plan that guides public and private improvements in the Swanston Station area over the next 20 years. The project area is bounded by El Camino Avenue on the north, Arden Way on the south and the Capital City Freeway (Business 80) on the east. Beaumont and Erickson Streets define the western edge of the project area. The Swanston Village Station Transit Plan utilizes land use plans, traffic/infrastructure studies, environmental analysis, urban design plans, and financing/implementation strategies to implement transit-oriented development around the Swanston Light Rail station in the City’s North Sacramento Community Plan Area. Additionally, the Swanston Station Transit Village Plan provides land use, parking/circulation, open space and infrastructure goals, policies, and objectives, and implementation measures which will guide land use and development decisions around the station.

West Broadway Specific Plan

The West Broadway Specific Plan builds on work that was previously undertaken and leverages the changes at the The Mill and the Broadway corridor to create a vision for the redevelopment of the area. The Specific Plan stitches together land-uses and disconnected circulation patterns to remove barriers to increase the supply of housing south of Broadway. The 279-acre project area is generally bound by the Sacramento River on the west, Broadway on the north; Muir Way and 5th Street on the east; and 4th Avenue on the south. This area includes the Northwest Land Park PUD area, the infill project known as The Mill at Broadway; Alder Grove and Marina Vista Public Housing communities; William Land Woods Affordable Housing Community; Leataata Floyd Elementary School; Health Professionals High School; approximately 32 acres of existing industrial land uses; Miller Regional Park and the Sacramento Marina.
