APPENDIX A
Vision and Guiding
Principles Update
The Vision and Guiding Principles describe
a shared image of the kind of place that
Sacramentans would like their city to be in
2040 and what is necessary to achieve it. They
identify key themes and priorities, and set the
tone for the General Plan Update and Climate
Action Plan. In April and May 2019, over 400
individuals attended workshops and shared
input which has informed the 2040 Vision
and Guiding Principles.
SACRAMENT0 | 2040
Vision Statement and
Guiding Principles Update
On December 4, 2018 the City Council adopted a Global Ends policy, which outlines the outcomes the City Council wishes to achieve:
8LI 'MX] SJ 7EGVEQIRXS GSQQYRMX] MRGPYHMRK MXW HMWXMRGX RIMKLFSVLSSHW IRNS]W E HMZIVWM½IH MRGPYWMZI economy and a city that is clean, safe, healthy, and vibrant, with beautiful natural spaces, recreational EGXMZMXMIWJSVEPPEKIW GYPXYVEPIZIRXW ERHIEWISJQSFMPMX] 8LIWIIRHWEVIEGLMIZIHIJ½GMIRXP]ERHXSXLI greatest possible extent given available resources.
Recognizing that today's children and youth will be the adults and future leaders of 2040, the Vision and Guiding Principles also take into account the Citywide Y outh Development Campaign Plan, adopted on December 19, 2017 by the City Council, which states as the City's vision that, "All Sacramento children and youth are valued and reach their fullest potential." The following Vision and Guiding Principles will help guide the development of the 2040 General Plan and achieve the outcome as desired by the Council in the Global Ends policy and the Citywide Y outh Development Campaign Plan.
2040 Vision Statement and Guiding Principles Update
In 2040, the City of Sacramento will be a national model of sustainable, equitable growth and community development.
Sacramento will continue to be a dynamic regional center of culture, diversity, jobs, food, and beautiful parks and trees, and will cultivate inclusive access to opportunity and healthy living.
The General Plan seeks to direct growth and change into commercial and transit corridors, building on the city’s existing assets and character. Pedestrian, bicycle and transit options will be prioritized over automobiles.
Every neighborhood will be a desirable place to live, with safe streets, extensive tree canopy, a range of housing choices, mixed-use neighborhood centers, great schools, parks and recreation facilities, and convenient connections to jobs, services, and nature. Every resident will feel the freedom to walk and bike safely and comfortably. Sacramento’s neighborhoods will be affordable and inclusive, and every resident will have the opportunity to thrive.
As California’s capital, Sacramento will continue to be a primary center for government, employment, education, and culture. The city’s economy will continue to strengthen, diversify, and participate in changing global industries.
Sacramento will be a leader in bold, equitable climate action and the green economy, taking steps to cut waste, pollution, and carbon emissions. Through its continued progress toward Sacramento’s 2045 climate neutrality goal, the city will also achieve other, interconnected goals:
healthy, climate-safe homes, green spaces and tree canopy for all, an efficient zero-emissions transportation system, clean air, and a thriving, sustainable economy. Recognizing the future challenges of climate change, Sacramento will build resilience for all its communities, especially the most vulnerable.
Sacramento will ensure that residents of all ages and abilities have access to a range of reliable, environmentally responsible transportation options. Sacramento will invest in its aging infrastructure and prioritize carbon-neutral transport, and will have clean air, water, and “complete” streets. Sacramento will also invest in its human capital today, prioritizing investment in youth, the adults and leaders of 2040. T o the extent possible, the city will engage youth in the process of developing the 2040 General Plan.
Sacramento will ensure the just and equitable treatment of all neighborhoods and people, address historical inequities, and ensure broad community participation and ownership in public processes, as well as accountability in implementing plans. Sacramento will continue to celebrate its cultural and ethnic diversity and will foster the arts, protect historic, cultural, and natural resources, and cultivate its extensive urban forest, parks and riverways. 1 Vision Statement

borhood issues. SNAPs establish priorities for neigh-
borhood improvement; identify programs to achieve
priorities; empower community residents to improve
their neighborhoods; identify neighborhood vision for
residential infill development; and create programs to
facilitate infill development in the area consistent with the neighborhood vision.

it to appropriate outlets. The system may include inlets, catch basins, storm sewer pipes, channels, detention
basins, and pump stations.
Stormwater. Precipitation from rain or snow that accu-
mulates in a natural or human-made watercourse or
conveyance system.
Street. A public thoroughfare, including a public road
and highway, that affords the principal means of access to abutting property.
Structure. Anything constructed or erected that
requires location on the ground or attached to some-
thing having location on the ground, including accessory buildings, signs and billboards, antennas and accessory antennas, swimming pools, paved surfaces, and solar
panels, but not including fences or walls used as fences.
Surface Water. Water that flows in streams and rivers
and in natural lakes, in wetlands, and in reservoirs con- structed by humans.
Sustainability. Sustainability means meeting the
needs of the present without compromising the abil-
ity of future generations to meet their own needs. Sus- tainability is about sustaining and integrating how we
manage the economy, environment, and social equity,
to minimize, mitigate, and adapt to short- and long-term impacts on the environment and the quality of life for
residents.
Sustainable. Community use of natural resources in a
way that does not jeopardize the ability of future gener- ations to live and prosper.
Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). Plan that
is prepared and adopted by a Metropolitan Planning
Agency (MPO) as part of the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP). A SCS is designed to achieve goals for the
reduction of regional greenhouse gas emissions from
automobiles and light trucks and meet regional hous-
ing needs through development patterns, infrastructure, and transportation measures or policies. A SCS must be
consistent with the transportation improvements and
funding mechanisms included in the RTP as well as the
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) established
by the Councils of Governments (COG). City plans and
ordinances are not required to be consistent with a SCS, however development projects that are found to be
consistent with an SCS are eligible for CEQA streamlining and transportation funding priority.
T
Telecommunications Facility. A facility that transmits
or receives electromagnetic signals. A telecommunica-
tion facility includes antennas, microwave dishes, horns, and other types of equipment for the transmission or
receipt of such signals; telecommunications towers or
similar structures that support the equipment; equip-
ment buildings; parking area; and other accessory
development.
Telecommuting. A work arrangement that allows for
flexibility in working location and hours; working at
home or working from home.
Traffic-Calming Features. Measures taken to slow
traffic and/or reduce traffic volumes on neighborhood
streets. They include signage and speed limit signs,
striping, speed humps, and traffic circles.
Transfer Station. A facility where solid waste is
unloaded and then consolidated for shipment to a
landfill.
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). A mixed-use
district within an average 2,000-foot walking distance
of a transit stop and core commercial area. TODs mix
residential, retail, office, and public uses in a walkable environment, making it convenient for residents and
employees to travel by transit, bicycle, foot, or car.

SACRAMENTO 2040 GENERAL PLAN
Transportation Demand Management. Various
strategies to reduce the level of single-occupant vehicle use by changing travel behavior (how, when, and where
people travel) to increase the efficiency of the transpor- tation system and achieve specific planning objectives.
Transportation Management Association. An indi-
vidual or group responsible for the implementation of
Transportation Systems Management (TSM) measures
for the purpose of meeting alternative mode require-
ments for a specific geographical area. (SCC 17 .700)
Trees of Significance. T rees that are significant (i.e., desirable tree species or trees that hold economic or
social value) to Sacramento’s urban forest.
U
Underutilized Site/Parcel. A developed parcel that
is not reaching its full economic potential as currently developed.
Unincorporated Area. Land located outside the city
limits.
Urban. Of, relating to, characteristic of, or constitut- ing a city. Urban areas are generally characterized by
moderate and higher density residential development
(i.e., three or more dwelling units per acre), commer-
cial development, and industrial development, and the
availability of public services required for that develop- ment, specifically central water and sewer, an extensive road network, public transit, and other such services
(e.g., safety and emergency response). Development not
providing such services may be “non-urban” or “rural.”
Urban Forest. All of the trees in the city of Sacramento, both public and private, maintenance strip trees. See
also “Public Trees,” “Private Trees,” and “Maintenance
Strip Trees.”
Urban Heat Island Effect. The urban heat island effect
is a measurable increase in ambient urban air tempera-
tures resulting primarily from the replacement of vege- tation with buildings, roads, and other heat-absorbing
infrastructure. The heat island effect can result in signif- icant temperature differences between rural and urban
areas. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
Urban Plazas/Pocket Parks. A specialized neighbor-
hood park or facility less than 5 acres in size to be used primarily by persons living, working, or visiting nearby.
Likely more appropriate for areas of denser urban and
mixed-use development. Amenities may include: smaller
scale features such as community gardens, children’s
play areas, sitting areas, tables, fountains, hardscape, public art, walkways and landscaping.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A federal agency
of civilian and military engineers, scientists, and other specialists working in engineering and environmental
matters to provide quality, responsive engineering ser- vices to the United States including planning, designing, building, and operating water resources and other civil works projects (e.g., navigation, flood control, environ- mental protection, disaster response); designing and
managing the construction of military facilities for the Army and Air Force; and providing design and con-
struction management support for other Defense and
Federal agencies (i.e., interagency and international
services).
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A bureau within the Department of the Interior with the mission to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wild- life and plants and their habitats for the continuing ben- efit of the American people.
V
Vacant. Parcels of land or buildings that are not actively used for any purpose.
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Vehicle miles traveled
quantifies an estimate of the number of miles driven by a typical or hypothetical future driver. It provides a way of evaluating transportation impacts with metrics that
support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,
development of multimodal transportation networks
and diversification of land uses.
Vision and Guiding Principles. Describes Sacramen-
to’s key values and vision, and sets out guiding princi- ples for the 2040 General Plan; developed based on City Council directives, extensive public input, focus group interviews, and Town Hall Forums during the 2040 Gen-
eral Plan development process.
SACRAMENTO 2040 GENERAL PLAN
Appendix B: Glossary | B-15
Vision Zero. Vision Zero is based on the conviction that everyone has the right to move safely in their commu-
nities, and that policy makers, transportation planners, and engineers all share the responsibility to ensure
safe systems for travel. It is inevitable that people will sometimes make mistakes, so the Vision Zero approach
incorporates policies and design strategies to ensure
those mistakes do not result in severe injuries or fatali- ties. Vision Zero emphasizes managing speed, centering
equity, and engaging the community.
W
Wetlands. Areas inundated or saturated by surface or
ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to
support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted
for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, vernal pools, and sim-
ilar areas.
X Y
There are no terms to be included.
Z
Zone. A specifically delineated area in the city within which uniform regulations and requirements govern the
use, placement, spacing, and size of land and buildings.
This term is synonymous with “zoning district.”
Zoning. Local codes regulating the use and develop-
ment of property. A zoning ordinance divides the city
or county into land use districts or “zones,” represented on zoning maps, and specifies the allowable uses within each of those zones. It establishes development stan-
dards for each zone, such as minimum lot size, maximum height of structures, building setbacks, and yard size.
Zoning Ordinance. Zoning and planning regulations
of the City and any amendments, modifications, or revi- sions heretofore or hereafter made in such regulations. (See Title 17)
