to account for revenues collected from the
transactions and use tax approved by voters
in November 2018. It took effect on April 1,
2019. Measure U was approved as a general

REFERENCE MATERIALS
A variety of documents have been developed to reflect the diverse and growing needs and priorities of Sacramento residents, businesses, developers, and visitors. Extensive outreach has been done to develop the documents listed below and, in an effort to maintain transparency, the following provides a synopsis and location of the materials that were referenced to develop the 2022-2027 CIP. The connection to these background resources provides a wider understanding of the efforts made to determine, rank, and invest public funds towards maintenance, rehabilitation, or improvement of public infrastructure, public safety, recreational experiences, and assurance that Sacramento remains well-positioned for further economic growth and opportunities.
While each section utilizes the resources listed in the General Plan Consistency Section, other documents are section-specific.
Section C: General Plan Consistency
River District Specific Plan (2011)
http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Planning/LongRange/Specific-Plans The 773-acre River District Area proposes adopting policy documents to support a transitoriented, mixed-use, and 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 that of a series of distinctive walkable neighborhoods within a district that is contiguous to the American River and serves as the northern gateway into the Central City. The guiding principle for this plan is to maintain its unique character and design while increasing its diverse economy.
Sacramento 2035 General Plan Update (2015)
http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Planning/LongRange/General-Plan A document shaped by extensive outreach to residents, business, developers, and decision-makers to guide Sacramento to “be the most livable city in America.” It was developed based on the City’s Smart Growth Principles; Council adopted Vision and Guiding Principles for the General Plan; and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments Blueprint.

Sacramento Center for Innovation Specific Plan (2013)
http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Planning/LongRange/Specific-Plans The goal of the Sacramento Center for Innovation (SCI) Specific Plan is to create an environment that fosters the exchange of technical knowledge and expertise between students, faculty, and private sector business enterprises. Formerly known as the Innovation/Technology Village, the SCI area is located to the south of California State University, Sacramento, to the east of the Union Pacific Railroad, and to the west of the Granite Regional Park development area. Currently, it is primarily heavy commercial, light industrial, and industrial uses. The General Plan identified the area south of the existing Regional Transit light rail tracks, the Ramona Avenue area, as an Opportunity Area, changed the land use designation from Industrial to Employment Center, and recommended further land use refinement.
Section D: General Government
City Facility Condition Assessment (2018)
In September 2017, City Council authorized a City Facility Condition Assessment of over 100 facilities. The assessment was completed in June of 2018 and identified the prioritization and selection standards for the City Facility Reinvestment Program. Initial Council-approved criteria were safety, end of component’s useful life, and outdated standards. The criteria have since been expanded to the following:
1. Safety: Projects that, if not corrected, will create a hazard or that may result in personal injury to staff or the public.
2. Renewal/Replacement: Projects with worn, obsolete, and/or failed major components have reached the end of their useful life and are needed to protect or maintain facility integrity. These items, if not addressed, will require excessive man-hours and funding to prevent further degradation of the facility and to keep the facility functional or do not meet today's standards in terms of functionality or code requirements.
3. High energy consumption: Projects that can achieve significant savings through the upgrading of components.
4. High volume for immediate service requested: Projects that have components or equipment/facilities chronically needing repair.
5. Cost-effective/Combination of projects: Projects that are combined to make them more cost-effective, such as replacing roof mounted HVAC equipment at the same time a roof is replaced.

Park Project Programming Guide (PPPG) (2017)
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/ParksandRec/Parks/Park-PlanningDevelopment/MasterPlan-PRPG The PPPG identifies, evaluates, ranks, and prioritizes unfunded park and recreation projects, including acquisitions, repair/rehabilitation, development, community facility, and regional projects. A new PPPG is generally prepared biennially.
The PPPG’s goals are to:
Provide an integrated system of parks, open space areas, and recreational facilities that are safe and connect the diverse communities of Sacramento; Plan and develop parks, recreation, and community facilities that enhance community livability, are equitably distributed throughout the city, and are responsive to the needs and interests of residents, employees, and visitors; and Secure adequate and reliable funding for the acquisition, development, and maintenance of parks, recreation facilities, and open space. 2022-2027 Proposed Capital Improvement Program
O - 12
Projects are evaluated and grouped within each of the ten CPAs for consistency with the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, last updated in 2009. The criteria in each CPA focuses on:
1. Neighborhood, community, and/or regional need
2. Funding availability for ongoing maintenance
3. Site significance, public priority or public use, and suitability to the area
4. Gives priority to economically disadvantaged neighborhoods
5. Health, safety, or legal mandates

Section H: Transportation
Transportation Programming Guide (TPG) (2014)
http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Resources/Publications The TPG is a document that ranks the City's transportation programs and projects in alignment with the Pedestrian and Bikeway Master Plans (see below). The City performs outreach to the community when prioritizing its infrastructure needs, which enables the City to ensure the priority projects receive funding.
The TPG program areas are being updated to the following:
1. Active transportation – pedestrian, bikeway, lighting, and streetscape improvements
2. Bridges – replacement and rehabilitation
3. Major transportation improvements – major roadway construction
4. Parking – parking facility maintenance and upgrades
5. Public rights-of-way accessibility – installation of improvements to ensure full accessibility

7. Traffic operations and safety – safety improvements, Traffic Operations Center, traffic calming, pedestrian safety, and major street light replacement City of Sacramento Bicycle Master Plan (2016)
http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Resources/Publications This Plan was developed to set forth bicycle related investments, policies, program, and strategies for a complete bicycle system. Its goal is to encourage more bicycling by the citizens of Sacramento for both transportation and recreation, and thereby allowing the City of Sacramento to meet General Plan emission targets. 2022-2027 Proposed Capital Improvement Program
O - 13
The goals of the plan are to increase:
Ridership and attain a 7% bicycle mode share by 2020; Safety so there are no bicycle-related fatalities;
Connectivity thereby doubling the percentage of residents that can conveniently reach a contiguous bikeway network; and
Equity so that all areas of the city are equally invested in.
Pedestrian Master Plan, Making Sacramento the Walking Capital (2006) http://portal.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Resources/Publications The Pedestrian Master Plan provides a comprehensive vision for improving pedestrian conditions. Its objectives are to create standard and procedural recommendations as well as improve upon the current pedestrian deficiencies and to establish and maintain a pedestrian-friendly city. This will be accomplished by improving connectivity, accessibility, and safety.
There are two criteria for ranking projects: safety and project setting.
Safety-oriented criteria
Barrier Elimination – ability to remove obstacles for safe travel or to introduce a shorter travel distance
Infrastructure Completeness – ability to bring existing conditions into compliance
Vehicle/Pedestrian Collisions – reported collisions between car and pedestrian that occurred during the previous three years.
Speed – Posted speed limit at the project location.
Volume – Based on the average daily traffic at the project location.
Project setting criteria
Transit Access – enables direct access to the Rapid Transit system. Economic Development – falls within the 2013 Economic Development Strategy
Infill Development – located within Tier I or Tier II areas as defined by the 2035 General Plan.
Adjoining Property – based on the orientation of the development at the back of sidewalk, or where the sidewalk would be when a sidewalk is not present. Land Use – based on the predominant land use designation. Activity Centers – based on the number of activity centers within a 600’ radius to its parcel boundary.
