River District Specific Plan

River District Specific Plan Update

The River District Specific Plan Update kicked off in March 2024, and is scheduled to take approximately 2 years to complete. The existing Specific Plan was adopted in 2011, and a lot has changed in the last 13 years. This update is an opportunity to evaluate goals, policies, and actions against an updated vision for the area.

About the River District

The River District Specific Plan area (River District) is located just north of downtown Sacramento and includes around 773 acres of mostly developed land. It is bounded by the Sacramento and American Rivers to the north and west, a rail line along the east boundary, and North B Street and another rail line along the southern boundary. See the map showing the study area boundary.

The River District is home to a number of long-established industrial businesses, restaurants, hotels, and social services organizations. The area also includes a middle school, several parks, a museum, and City and State government offices. In recent years, the area has seen an increase in development interest and has welcomed several major developments, such as the May Lee Office Complex, Township 9, Track 281, and Mirasol Village.
