Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment (YPCE) recommends approving the Park Amenities Site Plan for the proposed 5.08-acre neighborhood park located at 3822 Lake Katie Way, Sacramento, CA 95834 in North Natomas. YPCE also recommends naming the park as Westshore Park.
The proposed Park Amenities Site Plan includes the following amenities: a children’s playground with swings, a bike trail, a tennis court with pickle ball court overlay, a basketball court, a group exercise area with various fitness equipment stations, a games area with two cornhole games, a group game area with chess game tables and shade structure and group seating areas.
The park also includes a drinking fountain with pet fountain, bicycle racks, concrete walkways, low water use irrigation and landscaping, shade and accent trees, site furniture, park rules and a park name sign. Construction of the park will be complete by summer 2024.
A SurveyMonkey survey was conducted to solicit input from the neighborhood regarding their desires City of Sacramento Page 1 of 3

for the park amenities, park development, and park name. The survey results showed many in favor of the proposed park name of Westshore Park. There were 419 respondents to the survey, which was advertised on the City’s YPCE webpage and a survey flyer distributed by the various neighborhood associations to their North Natomas residents.
Policy Considerations: Providing parks and recreation facilities is consistent with the City’s strategic plan to achieve sustainability and livability and to expand economic development throughout the City.
The adoption of a park master plan is consistent with the park development process set forth in the Park and Recreation Master Plan.
Economic Impacts: The costs to prepare the park site amenities plan and construct this park, in accordance with the park site amenities plan, will cost $1,914,484 and is funded with Park Development Impact Fees (PIF).
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The Environmental Planning Services Division has reviewed this project and determined that it is exempt from the provisions of the CEQA, under Class 3, Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
The project includes development of the various park features at an existing park site and involves a limited number of new, small facilities and structures and installation of visitor- serving amenities. Consistent with the requirements in North Natomas, development is subject to compliance with the Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP).
Sustainability: The proposed Park Master Plan has been reviewed for consistency with the goals, policies, and targets of the City’s Climate Action Plan for Internal Operations 2016 Update, the 2035 General Plan, the 2018 YPCE Strategic Plan, and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2005-2010. The park will advance the goals, policies, and targets of these plans by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution through the addition of trees, including native and drought-tolerant plantings, and improving the health of all residents through access to a diverse mix of wellness activities. Individual products have not been chosen at this level of development, but the design will include products from recycled materials, if available, and tree and shade covering for minimal heat gain to reduce urban heat islands. The park development will include sustainable design and maintenance guidelines, including the City’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), low impact development (LID) strategies to infiltrate stormwater and reduce run-off, and River Friendly landscaping program practices by using water efficient irrigation upgrades controlled by the centralized irrigation system, and water/energy efficient appliances.
Commission/Committee Action: The park amenities site plan and park name were recommended for approval by the Parks and Community Enrichment Commission at its September 1, 2022, meeting.
