Description/Analysis

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.

Issue Detail: The Stockton Blvd Plan includes both a Specific Plan and a Neighborhood Action Plan.

The Specific Plan establishes a policy framework for development decisions and other activities within the Specific Plan Area, with a special emphasis on streamlined housing development.

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 actions 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 organizationsworking together to promote development along the corridor that advances racial equity and respond to the needs of historically underserved and marginalized populations.

The Specific Plan Area covers approximately 420 acres, including around 280 acres of commercially zoned land along a 4.5-mile stretch of Stockton Boulevard, from Alhambra Boulevard in the north to 65th Street in the south. As of 2022, the area contains an estimated 60 vacant parcels, totaling almost 49 acres, or 14 percent of the total land area. The Neighborhood Action Plan encompasses Stockton Boulevard as well as the 23 neighborhoods adjacent to the commercial corridor.

The Stockton Blvd Plan was the first effort undertaken by the City’s Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT), responding to community concerns about racial inequity and the risk of gentrification and displacement due to large-scale investments like UC Davis’s Aggie Square.

Community members called on the City to lead a planning process in these historically underinvested neighborhoods to promote health, wellbeing, and ensure both racial and economic equity. Stockton Boulevard, as a key commercial corridor, presents a critical opportunity to direct investment and housing development in ways that benefit current residents and businesses.

Policy Considerations: The Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent with, and implements, the policies and actions of the 2040 General Plan including the following:

E-2.1 Investments for Inclusive, Equitable Growth: The City should make intentional investments to increase and diversify economic growth in an inclusive and equitable manner that focuses on neighborhoods and their unique needs.

E-4.2 Inclusive Economic Development Investments: The City should invest in projects and programs that advance inclusive economic development and reduce inequities.

EJ-3.1 Resource Optimization: The City shall coordinate across municipal departments and with relevant partner agencies, including the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD), Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA), and others, to optimize the use of resources in addressing displacement, tenant protections, housing issues, and environmental hazards.

YPRO-4.1 Interpretation and Celebration: The City shall provide recreation, events, and educational opportunities that honor and celebrate Sacramento’s diversity, history, and cultural heritage, responding to the needs of residents of all ages and backgrounds.

YPRO-4.6 Empowering Linguistically Isolated Communities: The City shall provide language learning programs, interpretation and translation services, and assistance in accessing community services to empower linguistically isolated communities.

Economic Impacts: The Stockton Blvd Plan is intended to foster inclusive economic growth that benefits both residential and commercial sectors. The strategy aims to not only help families accumulate wealth and mitigate poverty but also to assist current and prospective businesses in flourishing and generating employment. By addressing vacant and underutilized properties, the planning effort is expected to enhance the tax base, thereby creating additional economic prospects for both existing and future community members.

Environmental Considerations: Adoption of a specific plan is considered a project and requires review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

A Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) was released on June 21, 2024, and was available for public review and comment until August 7, 2024. During the public review period, the City received letters from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 3; California Water Boards, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB); Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) serving as the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC); Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality District (SMAQMD); Sacramento Area Sewer District (SacSewer); and Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT).

The Environmental Planning Services Manager reviewed the Draft EIR, including the comment letters. Revisions to the Draft EIR and Stockton Blvd Plan were made; however, these changes do not constitute significant new information for the purposes of CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5 and therefore recirculation is not required. Staff has determined that the EIR complies with the CEQA statutes and regulations. Where text changes in the Draft EIR are warranted based on comments received, updated project information, or changes initiated by City of Sacramento staff, changes are listed in Chapter 3 of the Final EIR (Attachment 6).

The Final EIR, which contains all written comments received during the public review period, and responses by the City, as well as any revisions to the Draft EIR, is posted at the Community Development Department EIR web site at:
<https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/planning/environmental/impact-reports>.

Sustainability: The Stockton Blvd Plan facilitates infill development, reuse, and reinvestment in an existing urbanized area. Increased housing opportunities near the urban core will reduce long

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.
commutes and dependence on cars, reduce the per capita use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, and help meet air quality standards.

Commission/Committee Action: On October 10, 2024, the Planning and Design Commission Passed a Motion recommending the City Council approve the resolutions adopting the Stockton Blvd Plan, certifying the accompanying EIR, and approving its water supply assessment. Prior to that, staff presented the Stockton Blvd Plan to the Planning and Design Commission for review and comment on August 11, 2022, and May 9, 2024. Additionally, on September 21, 2022, staff presented an update on the Stockton Blvd Plan Community Working Version to the Preservation Commission for review and comment.

Rationale for Recommendation: The Stockton Blvd Plan streamlines the housing development process and provides a vision for the future of the corridor and neighborhood planning area. The Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent with the policies of the 2040 General Plan which anticipates a mix of residential mixed-use and public/quasi-public land uses.

Financial Considerations: As part of the annual budget process (R2023-0205), Measure U funds were allocated to the NDAT project (I22000100). After that, the NDAT pilot grant program for the Stockton Boulevard Corridor ($500,000) was established as a subproject (I22000111).

The Stockton Blvd Plan (Specific Plan portion only) Public Facilities Funding Strategy outlines potential sources for construction of facilities and provisions for ongoing maintenance and services but does not commit any General Funds for either construction or maintenance. Tables E-1 and E-2 of the Facilities Financing Options, found in the Stockton Blvd Plan Appendix E, reflects a summary of current service providers as well as current and potential sources of funding for maintenance.

Background: Stockton Boulevard serves as an important corridor, connecting downtown to south Sacramento and adjacent neighborhoods, and accommodating one of Sacramento Regional Transit’s busiest bus routes. As of 2022, the Stockton Blvd Plan Specific Plan Area is a predominantly commercial corridor comprising approximately 420 acres in total, with about 280 acres of commercially zoned property.

The Neighborhood Study Area encompasses the Specific Plan Area, and several diverse neighborhoods situated to the east and west of the corridor. Primarily residential, the area covers approximately 7,400 acres. Over 70 percent of this land lies within city limits, while the rest is in unincorporated Sacramento County, which falls outside the city's regulatory authority. The Specific Plan and Neighborhood Study Areas are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Specific Plan Boundary Area and Neighborhood Study Area

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.

In adopting the Stockton Blvd Plan, the City seeks to achieve the following objectives:

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.
· Accommodate growth that increases the long-term economic sustainability, equity, and wellbeing and protection of people living and working in the Specific Plan Area. · Provide for the orderly and systematic integration of land uses within the Specific Plan Area. · Facilitate new mixed-use development, reuse, and redevelopment within the Specific Plan Area.
· Promote new infill residential development and redevelopment within the Specific Plan Area that supports a mixed-income community and a variety of housing choices, including marketrate and affordable housing options for low-income, very low-income, and extremely lowincome households. · Promote neighborhood-serving uses, including a grocery store and venue(s) for afterschool programs and activities for area youth.
· Enhance public recreation, use, and open space access in the Specific Plan Area. · Enhance the Stockton Boulevard corridor as a future gateway and bridge connection between the City of Sacramento and unincorporated areas of Sacramento County to the south of the Specific Plan Area.
· Balance new investments with proactive protection and healing of the community, especially for residents and business owners that are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. · Enhance the pedestrian and bicyclist environment along the corridor with safe routes to schools, parks, businesses, and other landmarks.
· Support and promote local businesses in the Specific Plan Area. · Protect, celebrate, and enhance the cultural and ethnic diversity, art, and community-centered character of the Stockton Boulevard corridor and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Gentrification Assessment and Anti-Displacement Values
As part of the Stockton Blvd Plan, an assessment was conducted to understand existing conditions, focusing on concerns related to residential and commercial gentrification; this assessment is found in Appendix C of the Stockton Blvd Plan. The assessment revealed that historically, the Neighborhood Study Area has been home to lower-income households and Communities of Color. However, between 2010 and 2018, the population distribution shifted, with declines in these groups in neighborhoods like Elmhurst and Oak Park and increases in the southern and eastern areas. Rising real estate prices, influenced by market and policy factors, have led to displacement, particularly

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.
among renters, which has reduced access to essential services and social networks. About one-third of the area is becoming exclusive to low-income households, while the other two-thirds remain susceptible to gentrification, with increasing rents but not yet full demographic shifts. Overall, there was a net loss of low-income households during this time.

The assessment also found a decline in minority-owned businesses, even as the total number of businesses increased. Despite this trend, anecdotal evidence points to a thriving minority-owned business scene in areas like Oak Park. Additionally, the Neighborhood Study Area has retained a high proportion of non-chain, small businesses, especially in the northern neighborhoods of Elmhurst, Oak Park, and in the Tahoe and Colonial subarea. While this growth reflects commercial expansion, it may also suggest cultural changes that the data alone may not fully capture.

The assessment recommends several strategies to mitigate gentrification and displacement in the Neighborhood Study Area while continuing investment. Key actions include conducting stakeholder outreach to supplement data, stabilizing neighborhoods with additional policies, and increasing both market-rate and affordable housing to ease displacement pressures. Preservation of affordable rental housing and strengthening neighborhood stabilization policies, such as tenant protections and homeownership assistance, are also advised. For commercial gentrification, strategies include heritage tourism programs, legacy business preservation, cooperative initiatives, commercial rent control, local hiring ordinances, and neighborhood business incubators. These strategies were reviewed and refined with City staff and community stakeholders as part of the Neighborhood Action Plan.

Building on the foundation of the gentrification assessment, anti-displacement values were developed to further guide the Stockton Blvd Plan and ensure that its policies and actions align with community priorities. The Community Working Version of the Plan was subsequently revised around a framework of core values to ensure it centers on equity and stability. These anti-displacement values include:
· Justice and Equity
· Culture and Knowledge
· Health and Wellbeing
· Growth and Stability
· Connection and Collaboration
These collective values shape both the content of the Stockton Blvd Plan and its implementation approach. The full text can be found on page 3 of the Plan.

Summary of Community Engagement Activities
The planning process for the Stockton Blvd Plan was guided by community leaders to ensure it reflected the needs and priorities of residents. In 2020, the City’s Engagement Team (including City

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.
staff and consultants), with input from the Resident Planning Team (RPT), worked to represent diverse voices and build a shared vision for the Plan. They focused on engaging underserved, marginalized, and multilingual communities, with the support of the Neighborhood Development Action Team Community Ambassadors who helped spread information and gather feedback. This effort set priorities for improving equity, health, and economic outcomes in the area. An overview of the planning process and major engagement opportunities is seen in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Stockton Blvd Plan Process Timeline and Key Outreach Activities

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.

In early 2021, the first major community meeting helped identify key themes that shaped the Plan, including land use, housing, culture, economic development, public health, and transportation. A series of engagement events followed between September and October 2021, including multilingual surveys, pop-up events, and community celebrations like Celebrate Stockton Boulevard and the Harvest Festival. These activities gathered input on potential strategies and vision for the corridor.

The community feedback largely informed the Community Working Version of the Plan, released in July 2022. Additional outreach followed, including online forums, multilingual consultations, and targeted office hours for business owners. The key changes made between the Community Working Version and the Public Review Version are summarized below:

1. Complexity and Readability: The plan was simplified and shortened, with an added Executive Summary and chapter summaries for quick overviews.

2. Anti-Displacement Values: These values were updated and emphasized as guiding the entire plan, replacing the vision statement.

3. Community Engagement: The community engagement section now includes priorities and shows how input shaped the plan, with more details in Appendix A of the Plan.

4. Action Items: Actions were reviewed and reorganized based on community priorities, focusing on those with the most support.

5. Safety Concerns: Policies on safety were updated, and Chapter 8 was renamed to reflect the focus on safety, environment, and public health.

6. Greenery and Gathering Spaces: The plan now includes stronger emphasis on preserving and enhancing green spaces and gathering places.

7. Active Land Uses for Families and Youth: New policies and actions were added to promote active land uses and youth engagement.

8. Stories and Culture: More community stories and quotes were incorporated to reflect local character and culture.

9. Mobility and Transportation: The transportation chapter was removed, though the plan references existing transportation plans that document the proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation in the area. Mobility comments were reviewed by the Transportation Planning group.

A full summary of the community engagement activities throughout all phases of the project can be found in Attachment 10: Detailed Community Engagement Summary.

Future Buildout of the Specific Plan Area
The analysis of the Specific Plan Area’s development potential estimates a full buildout of 4,077 housing units and 372,116 square feet of commercial space under the 2040 General Plan. This scenario helps assess the infrastructure needs for the Specific Plan Area, offering insight into the ultimate development levels if the Stockton Blvd Plan is fully implemented. However, full buildout

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.
would likely take several decades, extending beyond the 2040 planning horizon. By 2040, the Specific Plan is projected to result in 2,007 housing units and 5,819 jobs, based on the same assumptions as the General Plan.

Infrastructure Improvements
Four water system improvements are necessary to facilitate the development planned within the Specific Plan Area; all other utilities are adequate to serve the estimated buildout. Other updates to infrastructure systems have been planned or recommended in citywide documents but are not necessary to support the proposed development estimates.

The Specific Plan Area is generally well served by the existing water transmission and distribution system. The following improvements are necessary to facilitate development along the corridor:

1. Upsize 6-inch water mains to 8-inch minimum, as determined on a project-by-project basis.

2. Extend the existing 8-inch dead end water main located in Stockton Boulevard northerly of Southwest Avenue northerly to the 8-inch water main located in Stockton Boulevard.

3. Extend the existing 6-inch dead end water main located in Young Street easterly to connect to Improvement 2 (8-inch water main in Stockton Boulevard).

4. Extend the existing 8-inch dead end water main located in Stockton Boulevard at El Paraiso Avenue northerly to the 12-inch water main located in Lemon Hill Avenue to loop the system.

The required upgrades to the water distribution system would cost $555,646 (in 2022 dollars).

Typically, these improvements are the responsibility of developers. Apart from certain physical infrastructure responsibilities, development projects are subject to impact fees and may be required to make offsite improvements specific to that project.

Stockton Blvd Plan Implementation
To support development, the City actively seeks grant opportunities. In 2022, the City and County secured $2 million from the Green Means Go Funding Program, which helped fund infrastructure improvements for affordable housing at the San Juan Motel site, including $350,000 for water system upgrades. While continuing to pursue grants, the City is also exploring an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to fund future infrastructure improvements, including water systems.

The City Council has committed $15 million to affordable housing and anti-displacement programs from the General Fund. Additionally, land, short-term loans, and redevelopment funding have been provided for housing projects along Stockton Boulevard. An EIFD created for the Aggie Square development is expected to generate $16 million for affordable housing by 2045.

In 2023, the City, County, and Sacramento Regional Transit secured $5.2 million from SACOG’s Regional Program for planning and engineering to improve the transportation corridor, promoting safer transit, walking, and biking options.

File ID: 2024-01550 10/22/2024 Public Hearing Item 17.

The City of Sacramento’s Neighborhood Development Action Team has dedicated $500,000 of Measure U funds towards a pilot grant program scheduled to launch after the Stockton Blvd Plan goes to City Council for adoption. The Office of Arts and Culture has dedicated an additional $200,000 of funds toward the grant program to support arts and culture initiatives. The grant will invest in collaborative projects and programs that advance the priorities listed in the Stockton Blvd Plan.

Stockton Blvd Plan Environmental Impact Report
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15092, staff recommends that City Council find, in approving the Stockton Blvd Plan, review and consider the EIR and confirm that it has eliminated or substantially lessened all significant environmental impacts where feasible. In accordance with Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, staff further recommends that City Council balance the economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits of the Plan against any remaining unavoidable environmental risks and determine that these benefits outweigh the risks.

The Stockton Blvd Plan provides a comprehensive guide for infill development and redevelopment along Stockton Boulevard, establishing goals, policies, and actions that support inclusive community revitalization. The Plan aligns with the City's vision of promoting diverse housing options, economic opportunities, cultural expression, and a healthy environment while encouraging growth on underutilized land.

Staff has considered the information related to the EIR and recommends that City Council adopt the findings and mitigation measures outlined in the final Mitigation Monitoring Program. For full details on environmental impacts and their mitigation, refer to the environmental documents attached.

BACKGROUND
A. On May 9, 2024, the Planning and Design Commission provided feedback on the Stockton Boulevard Plan Public Review Draft.

B. The Stockton Boulevard Plan includes both a specific plan and a neighborhood action plan. The specific plan addresses all required criteria set forth in City Code section 17.904.010.D and California Government Code section 65451. The neighborhood action plan focuses on guiding collaborative efforts to address the community’s priorities along Stockton Boulevard and in the surrounding neighborhoods. The Stockton Blvd Plan includes goals, anti-displacement values, and community priorities that address the area containing the Broadway/Stockton Special Planning District.

C. On October 10, 2024, the Planning and Design Commission held a noticed public hearing on the Stockton Boulevard Plan in accordance with California Government Code sections 65353 and 65453 and Planning and Development Code of the City of Sacramento sections 17.100.010 and 17.812.030, received and considered evidence, and forwarded to the City Council a recommendation to adopt the Stockton Boulevard Plan.

On October 22, 2024, the City Council conducted a noticed public hearing in accordance with California Government Code sections 65355 and 65453 and the Planning and Development Code of the City of Sacramento sections 17.100.010 and 17.812.030, and received and considered evidence concerning the Stockton Boulevard Plan.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Based on the verbal and documentary evidence received at the hearing held on October 22, 2024, the City Council finds the Stockton Boulevard Plan (attached as Exhibit A) does the following:

A. Is consistent with the General Plan and Title 17 of the Sacramento City Code in that the Stockton Boulevard Plan facilitates the growth and development envisioned in the General Plan.

B. Complies with section 17.904.010.D of the Sacramento Planning and Development Code in that it contains text and diagrams and addresses all of the following:

1. A statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan;

2. The boundaries of the specific plan area and the distribution, location, and extent of land uses, including open space, within the specific plan area;

3. The distribution, location, extent, and intensity of the major components of public and private infrastructure related to transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the plan area and needed to support the land uses described in the specific plan;

4. Standards and criteria by which development will proceed;

5. Standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable; and

6. A program for the implementation of the specific plan, including regulations, programs, public projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out the specific plan.

E. Section 3. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Stockton Boulevard Plan, attached as Exhibit A, and it shall take effect 30 days after passage of this resolution. The City Council hereby directs that thereafter the Stockton Boulevard Plan goals and policies shall be implemented. This includes but is not limited to initiation of amendments to the Broadway/Stockton Special Planning District (chapter 17.404 of the Sacramento City Code) pursuant to Planning and Development Code of the City of Sacramento section 17.400.030.

Executive Summary
Introduction
The Stockton Blvd Plan (Plan) is both a Specific Plan and Neighborhood Action Plan. The Neighborhood Action Plan is an action-oriented plan that establishes priorities for the Neighborhood Study Area at the neighborhood-level. It identifies programs and partnerships to achieve the priorities and aims to engage and empower residents and businesses to take action to improve their neighborhoods. The Specific Plan is a tool to attract and facilitate infill development in the Specific Plan Area, the 4.5-mile Stockton Boulevard commercial corridor from Alhambra Boulevard to the north and 65th Street to the south.

How to Use this Plan
The purpose of this Plan is to document a shared vision, list the highest priority actions the community and City can take to meet that vision, and provide a planning framework for making decisions. The below is a short list of ways this Plan may be used:

1. Decision-makers can use this document
as they review development applications to
ensure that future projects are consistent
with the values, goals, and policies
(planning framework).

2. Community engagement for this effort,
along with descriptions of the planning
framework, can be used by stakeholders
(e.g., City staff, elected officials, communitybased organizations, individuals) to support grant applications and other funding
requests.

3. Stakeholders can look for actions in this
Plan they can implement that have broad
support.

4. Developers can use the Specific Plan
to inform their ideas for new buildings
and projects and, if their projects are
consistent, use the Plan and accompanying
environmental review to streamline future
development.

5. Community members, including residents
and business owners, can use this
document to advocate to City Council or
other relevant decision-makers; identify
available community and City priorities and
resources; and implement and promote
projects.

Plan Framework
The Stockton Blvd Plan is built around a framework of values, community priorities, goals, policies, and actions. Each of these are described briefly below.

Anti-Displacement Values
The anti-displacement values relied upon in
drafting this plan address justice and equity,
culture and knowledge, connection and
collaboration, growth and stability, and health and
wellbeing and are available to review on Page

3. These values were used to guide the other
elements of this Plan.

Goals
The goals reflect the desired future, in line with
the anti-displacement values. The goals reveal the
ideal end result when the Community Priorities
are addressed. Each topical chapter contains the
applicable goals.

HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 xi

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Policies
The policies apply to the Specific Plan and are
meant to direct the City’s actions in addressing
community goals. Each topical chapter contains
the applicable policies.

Neighborhood Action Plan Priority Actions
Priority Actions apply to the Neighborhood Action
Plan and are measures, procedures, or programs
that are consistent with the General Plan and
may be carried forward by the community, the
City, or a combination. These actions are not
required to implement the Specific Plan and are
not meant to restrict the City or community, or
impose any obligations on either, but rather to
document and provide a point-in-time reference
of the Community’s priorities to help inform future
decisions about how funding and resources could
be directed. As a result, the Priority Actions may
not have clear end dates, may be led by the City
and/or community, and may be funded through
various sources. For more information, please see
Chapter 11: Implementation.

Specific Plan Implementing Actions
Implementing actions are actions, procedures,
and programs intended to implement the Specific
Plan. These are measurable actions with clear
responsibilities and a timeframe in which the action
will be accomplished. Actions are presented in
Chapter 11: Implementation.

City and Community Levers
There are many ways that both the City and
community can contribute towards addressing
community priorities. The tools, methods and
specific types of actions these groups can take
are known as “levers.” The Priority Actions
outlined in the Neighborhood Action Plan identify
levers that can be used by either the City or
community members. Establishing key activities
and responsibilities of the City and individuals,
groups, and organizations better situates this Plan
for action. The Priority Actions and implementation
levers are intended to reflect the community’s
capacities, values, and priorities, communicated,
and refined during the community outreach and
engagement phase. For more information, please
see Chapter 11: Implementation.

Topic Summaries
Along with this Executive Summary, each topical
chapter contains a short summary of the relevant
values, priorities, goals, policies, and actions.

Introduction

1.1. Overview
The Stockton Boulevard corridor, and the
neighborhoods that surround it, is home to
residents with a wide range of cultural and ethnic
backgrounds, including Indigenous, Black/African
American, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hmong, lu Mien,
Filipino, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Latino.

The diverse communities have made significant
contributions to the cultural, social, and physical
landscape of the corridor and its surrounding
neighborhoods. However, like many cities in the
United States, past policies and practices have led
to inequitable distribution of resources, resulting in
health and economic disparities for lower-income
residents and Black, Indigenous, and non-Black
people of color (BIPOC). As a result, an increase
in investments can lead to a cycle of further
displacement, exclusion, and marginalization,
perpetuating these pre-existing disparities and
preventing low-income and BIPOC residents from
benefiting from the new investments.
1 The Stockton Blvd
Plan seeks to revitalize
Stockton Blvd in a way
that benefits existing
residents and
businesses.

Why Stockton Boulevard?
The Stockton Blvd Plan is being prepared because the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods include:

Underserved, historically
disinvested neighborhoods
Proximity to jobs and a mix
of businesses
Potential for growth on vacant and
underdeveloped land
New development that has
increased concerns around
gentrification and displacement.

Major transit routes
Investments in economic and
community development

INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 1
2 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
What is displacement?
Displacement is when certain groups
of individuals or households (often
lower-income) are forced to move from
neighborhoods as a result of rising housing
costs and neighborhood conditions
associated with new investment in those
neighborhoods. Cultural displacement
often precedes physical displacement and
occurs when the cultural norms of longtime community members are replaced by newcomers, resulting in a declined sense of
belonging and ownership.
“My fear with development is that
displacement will take place not only of the
individuals but of the culture.” –Resident
Planning Team (RPT) member
As change comes to the area with the advent of
Aggie Square, a major expansion of the UC Davis
Sacramento Campus, lower-income residents
are vulnerable to cost-of-living increases that
often follow new investment, which can lead to
displacement. Community members and the City
saw that this large project had the potential to both
positively contribute to the community and bring
in new opportunities, but could also exacerbate
existing inequalities if not done properly.

In 2019, the City formed the Neighborhood
Development Action Team (NDAT) to collaborate
with the community on how to revitalize areas like
this in a way that benefits existing residents and
businesses while minimizing displacement. The
Stockton Blvd Plan is a direct outcome of NDAT’s
work in these areas.

The Stockton Blvd Plan, led by NDAT, is a
community-centered approach to revitalizing
Stockton Boulevard in a way that benefits
the people and businesses that currently live
and occupy the corridor and surrounding
neighborhoods. The core purpose of this planning
effort is to invest in Stockton Boulevard in a
way that advances racial equity and addresses
the needs of neighborhoods and residents that
have been historically and disproportionately
underserved.

Successful revitalization of the area is not done by
increasing economic activity alone. It is done by
placing value on cultural diversity, uplifting longtime residents through the creation of generational wealth, helping small business owners thrive,
and focusing on increasing ownership of both
residents and businesses in homes, businesses,
land, and civic processes.

HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 3

1.2. Anti-Displacement Values
The Stockton Blvd Plan is written with the intention of balancing new investment with proactive protection and healing of the community. We draft and carry out this Plan with the following collective values in mind:

Connection and
Collaboration
We value interconnectedness,
collaboration, and mutual
support of each other as
neighbors.

Justice and
Equity
We value actions that
combat systemic racism
and further equity and
inclusion. All other values
are rooted in this one.

Culture and
Knowledge
We value the celebration of
our community knowledge,
history, and diverse cultures.

Growth and
Stability
We value stability and
generational wealth-building for
our neighbors and communityserving businesses while
welcoming new economic
opportunities.

Health and
Wellbeing
We value the health, safety,
and wellbeing of our
community and the networks
and opportunities that support
and nourish our daily lives,
whether at home, school, or
in our neighborhoods.

1.3. About the Plan
The Stockton Blvd Plan (Plan) includes both a
specific plan and neighborhood action plan
(Figure 1). The Specific Plan provides a planning
framework for development and other activities
within the Specific Plan Area (Figure 2). It aims to
attract and facilitate infill development consistent
with Government Code Section 65450 et seq.
and Sacramento Planning and Development
Code Chapter 17.904. A specific plan is for “[]the
systematic implementation of the general plan for
all or part of the area covered by the general plan”
(Gov. Code 65450). The Specific Plan is consistent
with and supports the 2040 General Plan’s vision
and policies for a vibrant corridor with diverse
housing, commercial, and community uses.

The Neighborhood Action Plan is an actionoriented document aimed at guiding collaborative work to address the community’s priorities in
the surrounding neighborhoods. It relies on
adopted policies in the General Plan, providing
neighborhood-level guidance for what the
community, in collaboration with the City and other
organizations, can do to advance those citywide
policies and actions on a local scale. The Specific
Plan and Neighborhood Action Plan rely on the
same background data and introductory language.

Both are guided by the anti-displacement values.

The Neighborhood Action Plan is found in Chapter
11: Implementation, Section 11.5, and is comprised
of the Community Priorities and Priority Actions.

The Specific Plan Area is limited to the Stockton
Boulevard corridor. During the drafting process,
thorough consideration was given to the
neighboring communities in the Neighborhood
Study Area to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the Specific Plan Area’s context.

The City does not regulate unincorporated county
areas. All regulations in this Plan apply within the
City boundary of the Specific Plan Area only.

Figure 1. Regional Location of Stockton Blvd Plan
Specific Plan Area
The Specific Plan Area includes properties along
a 4.5-mile stretch of Stockton Boulevard from
Alhambra Boulevard to 65th Street.

Neighborhood Study Area
The Neighborhood Study Area includes the
Stockton Boulevard corridor as well as 23
surrounding residential neighborhoods in the
southeast part of Sacramento. The Neighborhood
Study Area is generally defined by State Route 99
(SR-99) on the west, U.S. Highway 50 (Hwy 50) on
the north, Power Inn Road on the east, and the city
limits on the South. The Neighborhood Study Area
includes neighborhoods that are outside of the
City of Sacramento, within the jurisdiction of the
County of Sacramento.

1.4. Stockton Blvd Team
The Stockton Blvd Plan is led by the City’s NDAT, in partnership with a local consultant team. The City chose a consultant team with local roots who partnered with well-known community-based organizations so that the money spent planning would also help build relationships and capacity in the community beyond the span of the planning process. The City and consultants are jointly called the Engagement Team. The consultant team includes the following local companies and organizations:

In addition, the Engagement Team invited residents from the neighborhoods surrounding the corridor to be part of a Resident Planning Team (RPT). This team is described in more detail in Chapter 3:

Neighborhood Development Action Team
The City of Sacramento Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT) supports a community-centered approach to revitalization with a focus on racial equity to guide decision making and policy, inclusive outreach and stakeholder engagement, investments, and resources. The cross-department team, co-led by the Planning Division of the Community Development Department (CDD) and the Office of Innovation and Economic Development (OIED), engages with people and businesses in Sacramento’s underinvested areas to deliver appropriate services and resources.

The mission of NDAT is to ensure equitable investments and resources from the city and its partner agencies result in increased quality of life and economic growth for the people and businesses in Sacramento’s historically disenfranchised and disinvested neighborhoods.

BUSINESS PEOPLE PLACE

1.5. Community Ambassadors
Recognizing that there are residents from a variety of language and cultural communities who may not interact with the City or may not trust city staff or consultants, the Engagement Team worked with a group of multilingual/cultural representatives who are known and trusted in the Black, Hispanic/Latino, Chinese, Hmong, and Vietnamese communities. This group was a subset of the City’s Community Ambassador group, a pilot project that has since been expanded from serving just the Stockton Blvd area to serving BIPOC communities throughout the City. We thank the following individuals for their time, passion, and expertise to help their respective community members hear about, and engage with, the Plan:
• Conrad Crump
• Krystal Wu
• Juan Carlos Ruiz Guajardo
• Kao Ye Thao
• Linda Ng

Stockton Boulevard Community Overview

2.1. Community History
Sacramento is within the ancestral homelands of Indigenous peoples, including the Nisenan people, Southern Maidu, Valley and Plains Miwok, Patwin Wintun people, and the people of the Wilton Rancheria.

For thousands of years, Indigenous people traveled from the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers south towards the area around the confluence of the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers, shaping and affecting the landscape. The arrival of Euro-American explorers significantly disrupted the traditional ways of life for Indigenous peoples. Early explorers encroached upon and claimed Indigenous lands, which, along with the diseases they brought, led to the devastating displacement and decimation of Indigenous populations.

The discovery of gold and the ensuing Gold Rush led to a massive influx of miners and other immigrants to California. This swiftly transformed Sacramento’s ranch-based economy and spurred the settlement’s rapid development into a city. With urbanization and expansion of the transportation network within California, Stockton Boulevard was developed into a major commerce hub. The corridor as we know it today took shaper over 100 years ago when the Central Traction Company introduced a streetcar line connecting the cities of Sacramento and Stockton. This rail line enabled the subsequent subdivision and development of the land surrounding the corridor. In 1909, the California State Fair relocated from its previous location in Midtown to a new site at the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Broadway. In 1911, recognizing the importance of the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods, the City of Sacramento annexed much of the northern end of Stockton Boulevard including the neighborhoods of East Sacramento, Elmhurst, and Oak Park.

In 1950, less than one percent of the residents living in most of the neighborhoods along Stockton Boulevard, particularly on the east side of the street, were BIPOC, and some neighborhoods – such as Tahoe Park, Tallac Village, and Fruitridge Manor – did not allow African Americans due to restrictive covenants and other exclusionary race-based laws and practices. However, African Americans, many of whom worked at the area’s military bases, began to establish a small foothold in the Oak Park neighborhood, making up approximately eight percent of the neighborhood’s population in 1950. Over the next decade, many of Sacramento’s middle-class families and businesses relocated from older neighborhoods in and near the central city, such as Oak Park, to the new subdivisions emerging at the city’s outskirts. While more affluent white residents moved to newer subdivisions, BIPOC residents (many of whom had already been displaced from Sacramento’s downtown by urban renewal projects) moved into older neighborhoods that did not have the same racially-restrictive rules and regulations as the newer subdivisions.

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2
Throughout the 1960s and 70s, the demographics
of the corridor continued to shift to include more
BIPOC communities, including large Vietnamese
and Hmong communities of refugees fleeing
the Vietnam War who settled around Fruitridge
Road and Lemon Hill Ave. Simultaneously, UC
Davis Medical Center displaced the State Fair
and became a major employment base for
Sacramento, bringing in new residents and
businesses to the area. However, the construction
of SR-99, U.S. Hwy 50, and I-5 both isolated
the corridor from the central city and diverted
through-traffic away from the area, further
dividing and displacing BIPOC residents in these
neighborhoods from the rest of the city.

Today, Stockton Boulevard continues to serve as
an important transportation corridor, surrounded
by some of the city’s most ethnically and culturally
diverse neighborhoods. The area’s history has
created a network of neighborhoods defined by
the vibrant mix of language, music, food, and art
that make Sacramento one of the most diverse
cities in the country.

2.2. Local Context
Neighborhoods
The 23 neighborhoods in the Neighborhood
Study Area have their own unique identity, sense
of community, and development pattern. The
neighborhoods north of 21st Avenue, including
Elmhurst, Oak Park, Tahoe Park, and Colonial
Heights, contain a rich variety of single-family
homes dating to their development as streetcar
suburbs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Elmhurst neighborhood, between Stockton
and approximately 53rd Street, and Colonial
Heights on San Francisco Boulevard, both have
cohesive groupings of early 20th century homes
arranged around a wide landscaped boulevard.

The Oak Park neighborhoods are dominated by
older homes, with nearly one-third of the housing
stock built before 1940. The majority of housing
units in other neighborhoods were built between
from 1940 to 1959, with very few new housing units
built after 2000. Newer housing has mostly been
constructed south of Fruitridge and in Oak Park.

Neighborhood Subareas
The Neighborhood Study Area has been further
grouped into the following six subareas, based on
the U.S. Census Bureau’s census tract boundaries,
to distinguish socioeconomic and demographic
trends: Elmhurst, Oak Park, Fruitridge Pocket,
Tahoe & Colonial, Lemon Hill, and Fruitridge
Manor. Figure 3 shows the Neighborhood
Study Area and six neighborhood subareas. All
neighborhood subareas are within city boundaries,
except for Fruitridge Pocket and Lemon Hill,
which both include portions of unincorporated
Sacramento County.

2.3. Historic Resources
Supported and spurred by the installation of the
streetcar and freight lines, numerous “suburbs”
developed along the Stockton Blvd corridor in
conjunction with large employers that capitalized
on open land along a major roadway. Prominent
early employers include the county hospital (now
UC Davis Medical Center), state fairgrounds, and
agricultural manufacturing uses such as the Libby,
McNeil, and Libby Cannery. Some buildings and
places in this area have been designated as
historic resources on local, state, and/or national
registers. These are listed in Table 1 and shown
on Figure 4. Historic resources can be used to
tell stories of the past as well as contribute to
the character of the area. Additional resources
can be added to the registers and preserved.

The resources that are found to be eligible or
potentially eligible for listing are shown on Table 2.

Further information on these resources can be
found in Appendix G.

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2

2.4. Cultural Assets and Sense
of Place
Stockton Boulevard represents the culture and
ethnic diversity of a variety of communities in
South Sacramento, including Indigenous, Black/
African American, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hmong,
lu Mien, Filipino, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and
Latino communities, and many other cultures and
ethnicities. While the corridor is made up mostly of
retail establishments, there are several significant
places that represent culture and neighborhood
identity along Stockton Boulevard. Refer to Figure
5 for a summary of memories and favorite places
from the Resident Planning Team (RPT).

Little Saigon
The two-mile stretch of South Asian businesses
on Stockton Boulevard began as a landing place
for Vietnamese immigrants fleeing war in the
1970s and ’80s. In 2010, the community successful
advocated for the City Council to formally
designate the area as “Little Saigon.” Now, the
thriving retail district includes restaurants, coffee
shops, nail and hair salons, bakeries, and markets
specializing in goods and services from throughout
Asia—Vietnam, China, India, Cambodia, Philippines,
Korea—the largest portions being Vietnam.

Colonial Theatre
The Colonial Theatre, located on Stockton
Boulevard between 10th and 11th Avenue in
Central Oak Park, opened in 1940 as a movie
theater. The historic building, which is listed on the
California Register, continues to operate today as a
performing arts venue.

Colonial Heights Library
The Colonial Heights Library, located on Stockton
Boulevard before 21st Avenue, is the only library
in the Neighborhood Study Area. In addition to
providing books, music, ebooks, computer access
and other resources, it also serves as a multifunctional facility offering a gathering place for programs and cultural center for performances and
community events.

Countless restaurants and markets serve a wide-range of Asian specialties.

The Colonial Theatre carries on a tradition of entertainment.

The Colonial Heights Public Library includes a homework center, college and career center, and a community room for community group meetings and activities.

Figure 5. Resident Planning Team Memories and Favorite Places (2020) Colonial Heights
Library: “It’s the only library
in a wide mile radius”...“It’s a
community gathering place.

It was a big polling center.

Many actvities there beyond
just checking out books.”
Greenbriar Motel: “One of my
neighbors had her honeymoon at
the former Greenbriar motel
back in the 60s.”
State Fairgrounds: “I always
would win a gold fish”...“I went to
Tahoe Elementary, so we used to
go ride bikes over there before
the DMV was there. It used to be
just fields.”
Trolley: “The old
trolley car that used
to go down
Stockton Blvd!”
Chan’s: “I was introduced to
Stephanie’s neice at Chan’s
over a working dinner”...“That’s
my Dad’s old theater!”
Kennedy Estate Apartments: “When I
was younger I used to go to Will C Wood,
there was a candyman that lived in those
apartments. We used to walk through and he
would throw down candy to us. As long as
we caught it, he would keep throwing it
down to us. That was something to look
forward to after school.”
The Log: “There was a place at Stockton and
Broadway. They called it The Log. That’s where a lot of the elders would go and sit and talk the talk. Any time you needed to find my uncle, and it was during the day, I knew where to get him”...“Mine too! The Log was the first Instagram! Like you can go and find anyone there. When
you came back to Oak Park or Stockton Blvd, you went to The Log. That’s where everybody just reconnected...What had happened was. Back then, instead of putting up a
cement parking barrier, they would put a log; you could only go up to the log. The log would serve as a bench. So there’d be hardly no cars, but people would be sitting
along the log 40 deep. That’s where people came back
into town and caught up.”
Merlino’s: “Oh
man, Merlino’s
has the best
Italian ice ever!”
Donner School: “It got burnt down.

When I was a kid, we called it the Haunted
House. We used to run through it, because
it was boarded up and dilapidated...Later
on, they moved Cordeon Blue in there.”
Drive-In Theater: “The drive-in
theater at Fruitridge and Stockton”
...“It looks like the Drive In opened
in 1950 and closed 1979.”
Fields: “Most of the stu–
that we saw, that’s there
now, were all fields. We
used to go and ride our
bikes through the fields.”
Memorial Lawn: “I have
family members that are laid to
rest in Memorial Lawn o– of
Stockton. My grandparents,
my great grandmother, and my
great aunt are there.”
Alonzo’s: “It’s like a steakhouse, but
it has more a Mexican-theme. They’re
doing a development over there, so I
think Mr. Alonzo or the family fought
to keep the original sign up there.”
K-Mart: “Going to KMART at
Christmas as a kid...so many
toys!!”...“I love when they used to
serve their Icees and popcorn.”
Bobby T’s: “Bobby T’s!
Bobby T’s!! You took me
back Mike! You took me
back”...“Flashback”...“That
place had the best catfish!”
La Superior: “I love grocery
shopping at La Superior Mercado on
Stockton. Talk about a great

chicken they’re cooking in the parking
lot...It’s a gathering place too.”

“There used to be a
bowling alley over
there where there’s
now a Goodwill.”

beautiful sculpture at Broadway
and Stockton of a mother and
children...and also of a round
Aztec-inspired calendar.”
The bus: “Taking the 51 bus to florin

people. There was always somebody
on your way to Florin Mall.”

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2
Michael Benjamin II’s Story
Next door to my father’s theater, the Repertory
Theatre, was a liquor store called Anderson’s
Liquor owned by an African American male,
Mr. Anderson. Across the street, where Chase
Bank is now, we had a convenience store called
Springer’s. We had Mr. Brown’s Barber Shop
and Warner’s nightclub on the corner as well.

So, the corner really reflected the strength in
Black business and that’s what I grew up on and
around.

I attended Tahoe Elementary School, then Cal
Middle School, then Sacramento High School, so
I’ve been around the Stockton Boulevard corridor
pretty much my whole life. The theater closed in
the mid-80s, and then reopened on Lawrence
Drive across the street from what used to be the
K-Mart and that theater was 120 seats. So, I was
born and raised on this Boulevard. I’ve seen it; it’s
had its good times and its bad times as well.

My fear is with the development that
displacement will take place, not only of the
individuals but of the culture. We must get away
from being able to come in and develop, smash
down names of places where people who built
the community were once at and just replacing
the name with something new.

And so, Stockton Boulevard holds a deep, deep,
deep place in my heart. That corner especially
Stockton-Broadway because it was just bustling,
bustling, bustling with Black businesses when I
grew up and that had a positive impact on myself
and the surrounding people there.

So, in doing this work I want to make sure that
we are able to develop but not displace. That’s
important and that’s who I am. I love Stockton
Boulevard and I’m determined to make sure
that the people who were able to create the
infrastructure stay relevant, have a voice, and
aren’t removed from the place that they helped
build.

Stockton Boulevard is cool for certain reasons.

Stockton Boulevard is cool because there were
people there like my father who made sure that
the arts and the culture and things like that stay
relevant. We’re determined to make sure that
does not disappear with new development.

2.5. Population Characteristics
Over 86,000 people live in the various
neighborhoods within the Neighborhood Study
Area. The neighborhoods are both racially and
culturally diverse. Over 72 percent of people
identify as BIPOC. Over 44 percent speak a
language other than English. All neighborhoods
experience changes in demographics over
time, but some neighborhoods in the area
have experienced more change than others.

This section summarizes the information found
in two reports—the Economic Context Report
(Appendix B) and the Residential and Commerical
Gentrification Assessment (Appendix C).

HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 17

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2
Changing Racial Demographics
Since the 1960’s, many neighborhoods in the
Neighborhood Study Area have historically been
occupied by BIPOC communities (e.g., Indigenous,
Black/African American, Vietnamese, Chinese,
Hmong, lu Mien, Filipino, Pacific Islander, Hispanic,
and Latino). As shown in Figure 6, between 2010
and 2018, there were shifts in the racial and ethnic
makeup of all neighborhoods in the Neighborhood
Study Area. The Elmhurst and Oak Park
neighborhoods became less diverse over time,
while Tahoe Park/Colonial Heights, Lemon Hill, and
Source: Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
the neighborhoods South of Fruitridge became
more diverse. The population that identifies as
Black or African American has remained steady
in the Neighborhood Study Area. However, in the
historically Black and African American community
of Oak Park, there have been large declines in the
Black and African American population between
2010 and 2018, countered with large population
growth in the Black and African American
population in the Fruitridge Pocket Subarea.

Figure 6. BIPOC Communities, Percentage of Total Population (2010-2018) 18 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Linguistic Diversity
The Neighborhood Study Area is rich in cultural
and linguistic diversity. Dozens of languages
are spoken in households throughout the area,
including Spanish, Chinese, Hmong, Vietnamese,
Filipino, and several others. The most linguistically
diverse neighborhood subareas, based on
languages spoken in households, include the
South of Fruitridge Area, Lemon Hill, and Fruitridge
Pocket (see Figure 7). According to the 2020
American Community Survey, over 12 percent of
households in the Neighborhood Study Area have
limited English proficiency, compared with about 7
percent citywide. English proficiency is generally
lower in the southernmost neighborhoods in the
Neighborhood Study Area. Within some Census
tracts in the South of Fruitridge and Lemon Hill
subareas, over 30 percent of households have
limited English proficiency.

Median Household Income
Median household income in the Neighborhood
Study Area is significantly lower compared to the
median household income in the City. In 2018,
the overall median household income in the
Neighborhood Study Area was $44,700, about 30
percent lower than the median income for the City
as a whole ($58,500). The Elmhurst and Tahoe
and Colonial Subareas and the northern portion
of Oak Park (including Med Center and North Oak
Park) both have a greater concentration of higherearning households, with median household incomes around $60,000, nominally surpassing
the median income of the City (see Figure 8). The
central and southern portions of Oak Park and
the subareas of Fruitridge Pocket, Lemon Hill,
and South of Fruitridge represent the two lowest
median income categories within the City, with an
average median income of about $37,000, as of
2018.

Home Ownership
While the national homeownership rate was
about 67 percent and citywide homeownership
rate was about 52 percent in 2018, the average
rate of homeownership in the Neighborhood
Study Area was 46 percent. Homeownership
rates vary greatly by subarea. Whereas the rates
of homeownership in the Elmhurst and Tahoe
& Colonial neighborhoods exceed the citywide
homeownership rate, both at around 62 percent,
Oak Park, Fruitridge Pocket, and Lemon Hill all
have rates of homeownership closer to 35 percent
(see Figure 9).

Homeownership is one of the most important
ways for families to build generational wealth
and stability. According to a 2019 report by the
US Federal Reserve, homeowners had a median
Source: 2018 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. net worth of $255,000, compared to $6,500
for renters. Across the nation, Black households
have some of the lowest rates of homeownership,
and this is true of Black households in
Sacramento. In fact, Black households have
the lowest homeownership rates in the City
(31.3 percent); almost 24 percentage points
below the homeownership rate for white, nonHispanic households. There are many factors that contribute to this gap in homeownership for Black
households – from systematic racism in housing
policies to income disparities. Areas with lower
rates of homeownership are also at particularly
high risk for housing insecurity and displacement
in the event of neighborhood change and
gentrification.

Home Values and Sales Price
In 2018, the average median value for owneroccupied households in the Neighborhood Study Area was $235,640, approximately 33 percent
lower than the median value for the City as a
whole. The average median home value in the
Neighborhood Study Area ranged from about
$168,000 in Fruitridge Pocket to $353,000 in
Elmhurst. The subareas of Elmhurst and Tahoe

in the Neighborhood Study Area increased at a
slower rate than in the City as a whole. Rents in the
Neighborhood Study Area increased 21 percent
to $1,041 per month compared to the 39 percent
increase in average rent citywide, which increased
to $1,211 in 2018. The Lemon Hill and Elmhurst
Subareas experienced the largest rent increases
within the Neighborhood Study Area with rents
rising 29 percent and 23 percent, respectively
(with average monthly rental rates of $860 and
$1,092, respectively). As of 2018, the highest
average rent occurred in the Elmhurst Subarea
($1,092 per month), although average rent was
about 11 percent lower than average rent citywide.

The Oak Park Subarea had lowest average rents,
reflecting a rate about 58 percent lower than the
City’s average rent. The lack of homeownership
in BIPOC communities can exacerbate poverty
by preventing families from accumulating and
transferring wealth, limiting access to resources,
and perpetuating racial and economic inequality.

Discriminatory practices, such as redlining, in the
housing market have historically made it more
difficult for BIPOC families to own homes. During
the Great Recession, Black, Hispanic, and Latino
populations were disproportionately impacted
by foreclosures and subprime lending, further
exacerbating the wealth gap and hindering
economic progress is BIPOC communities.

Residential Gentrification Assessment
A residential gentrification assessment was
prepared to measure gentrification conditions and
estimate low-income household displacement
(Appendix C). The assessment determined that
approximately one-third of households in the
Neighborhood Study Area live in areas that are
becoming exclusive or have the potential to
become exclusive to low-income household (see
Figure 10). This includes the neighborhoods of
Elmhurst, North Oak Park, and most of the Tahoe
& Colonial Subareas. The remaining two-thirds
of households in the Neighborhood Study Area
live in areas that are categorized as “susceptible
to gentrification,” which includes the southern
portions of Oak Park and Tahoe & Colonial
Subareas, and the entirety of the Fruitridge Pocket,
Lemon Hill, and South of Fruitridge Subareas.

These areas were predominately low-income and
experienced moderate to significant rent increases
or were adjacent to census tracts that experienced
rent increases.

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2

2.6. Commercial Market
Conditions
Retail Market
Historically, the retail market in the Neighborhood
Study Area has performed slightly below the
citywide average, with slightly higher vacancy
rates and consistently lower monthly lease
rates. Between 2010 and 2020, the total retail
square footage in the Neighborhood Study Area
decreased by about 5,000 square feet with
negative net absorption of about 3,000 square
feet, indicating a minimal change in demand for
retail space, despite the area’s population growth
during this period. During the same timeframe
vacancy rates decreased from 12 percent in 2010
to 9 percent in 2020, but remain higher than the
citywide vacancy rate, which decreased from 10
percent to 7 percent. As of 2020 the lease rates
achieved for retail in the Neighborhood Study Area
are about 16 percent less than the rates secured
in the City as a whole. In the Neighborhood Study
Area, residential and retail development are likely
the leading development types due to the need
for housing, especially affordable housing, and
supportive retail.

Office Demand
With a predominance of residential, medical, and
retail space, the Neighborhood Study Area does
not play a strong role in the City’s office market.

Between 2010 and 2020, only three additional
office buildings were built in the Neighborhood
Study Area, totaling 34,100 square feet. Monthly
lease rates have decreased by about 29 percent
in the Neighborhood Study Area between 2010
and 2018, down to $1.02 per square foot per
month. In contrast, the City saw office rents rise
about 16 percent, commanding average lease
rates (about $2.16 per square foot per month)
that are more than double asking rates in the
Neighborhood Study Area. There is little demand
for office space in the Neighborhood Study Area
and the market for medical office space will likely
be fulfilled with the addition of Aggie Square.

2.7. Employment Characteristics
The Neighborhood Study Area serves as an
important employment node within the City,
driven by three primary industries: health care,
educational services, and utilities. These industries
are bolstered by key employers including the
UC Davis Medical Center; Shriners Hospital for
Children; the SCUSD offices; and the Sacramento
Municipal Utility District (SMUD) headquarters.

Employment in the Health Care and Social
Assistance, Educational Services, and Utilities
industries represents nearly 70 percent of all
jobs in the Neighborhood Study Area. There has
been an increase in non-chain small businesses
in the Neighborhood Study Area between 2000
and 2019 that have also increased employment
opportunities.

For the most part, residents of the Neighborhood
Study Area do not live where they work. About
96 percent of area residents commuted to jobs
outside of the Neighborhood Study Area for work.

Conversely over 95 percent of Neighborhood
Study Area workers commute in from outside the
area (see Figure 11).

2.8. Infrastructure
The below discussion is summarized from an
infrastructure study prepared for the City by NV5
(see Appendix D).

Wastewater and Storm Drainage
The Specific Plan Area is served by the City of
Sacramento’s Combined Sewer System (CSS)
in the area north of 14th Avenue. The CSS is a
legacy storm drain and sanitary sewer system
that conveys both stormwater and sanitary sewer
flows. The southerly half of the Specific Plan Area
is served by collection systems conveying storm
drainage and sanitary sewer flows separately.

There are several small City of Sacramento
drainage basins in the separated southerly half
of the Specific Plan Area. The City of Sacramento
provides service in the CSS area and the
Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) provides
sanitary sewer collection in the separated system
area.

Water
Domestic water in the Specific Plan Area is
provided by the City of Sacramento. The City uses
both surface water and groundwater to meet the
water demands.

The City differentiates the water mains into two
distinct categories: water distribution mains and
water transmission mains. Water distribution mains
are smaller pipelines located in the streets and
alleys used for water services. Water transmission
mains are larger pipelines used to convey water
to the distribution mains. The Specific Plan Area is
generally served by an extensive system of service
mains ranging in size from 6-inches to 12-inches in
diameter. There are no active wells or reservoirs
within the limits of the Specific Plan Area.

Natural Gas
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) supplies
natural gas to the Sacramento area. The PG&E
gas distribution system has high and low pressure
distribution systems. The high pressure gas system
generally is served by a grid system throughout
the Specific Plan Area. The high pressure system
pipelines range in size from 2-inch to 6-inch
diameter. These mains are generally located in the
streets or occasionally in an alley.

Electricity
SMUD provides electrical service to customers
located within the Specific Plan Area. Power is
transmitted to the Specific Plan Area by a 12kV and
21kV distribution system. There are three different
21kV substations that feed the Stockton Boulevard
area. Specifically, SMUD Mid-City substation,
East-City substation, and South-City substation. All
of these substations step down 115kV to 21kV in
order to feed the Specific Plan Area. The Mid-City
substation is situated along Stockton Boulevard
and 34th Street in the northern end of the Specific
Plan Area.

STOCKTON BOULEVARD COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 2
Existing public utility easements (PUEs) along
Stockton Boulevard need to be maintained for the
existing and future 12/69kV overhead electrical
facilities. New PUEs would need to be provided if
the SMUD facilities are relocated.

Telecommunications
Within the Specific Plan Area there are numerous
telecommunications providers. AT&T, Comcast, and
the City of Sacramento are the main providers for
telephone and cable services. AT&T supplies local
and long-distance telephone service, and also
data communications, in most of the Sacramento
area. Comcast provides cable television service
in the Sacramento area. AT&T Broadband leases
conduit space and fiber optic cable capacity
from Comcast in the Specific Plan Area. The City
currently owns an existing fiber network that
provides Municipal and Smart City services. The
network provides connections between various
traffic signals, utility sumps, reservoirs, and city
facilities spread throughout the City.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
CHAPTER 3
Community Engagement Summary

3.1. Introduction
From the beginning of this project, the Engagement Team (i.e., city staff and consultants) have sought to develop an engagement strategy that focuses on the diverse community that make up the Plan area and allows them to meaningfully influence the future of their neighborhoods and the Stockton Boulevard corridor. The Plan reflects community priorities and seeks to respond more directly to local needs and desires through action-oriented solutions and building local capacity.

This chapter summarizes the Engagement Team’s efforts to engage the community, partner organizations, and small businesses throughout the planning process, the key themes that were brought up through the community engagement process as well as the existing conditions analyses, and where those themes are addressed in other City processes/documents. See Appendix A for a more detailed summary of community engagement.
3 The community
engagement strategy
involved the people
who live, work, and own
businesses in the Stockton
Blvd Plan area so they will
benefit from outcomes of
the plan.

3.2. Community-Centered Planning Process
Community Engagement Goals
The purpose of creating an inclusive planning process is to achieve the following three goals. The Plan documents some of the results; however, to acheive these goals, implementation is just as important.

The engagement strategy used a variety of approaches with the ultimate objective of involving all facets of the community and empowering them to carry on the direction set forth in this Plan.

1. Create a Plan that Reflects the Community
о Listen to community knowledge and perspectives and provide opportunities to confirm direction. о Reach out to underserved communities that have been historically excluded from such community planning efforts, including BIPOC and low-income residents, non-English speakers, and youth. о Meet people where they are and speak their language. Develop culturally appropriate outreach strategies to provide fair and equitable access to information and reach the wide range of nonEnglish speakers in the Neighborhood Study Area. о Consider needs that impede engagement such as limited time, physical ability to access sites and/or documents, language barriers, access to technology, etc.

With the support of local consultant Everyday Impact Consulting, the City initiated the Community Ambassador program in 2022 to serve Hmong, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin speakers, as well as the Black community.

The Engagement Team hosted a BBQ and movie night at Mutual Housing on the Greenway as part of collecting input on the Plan.

The Engagement Team held Plan pop-ups at places locals visit, including Colonial Heights Library, grocery stores, and affordable housing sites.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
CHAPTER 3

2. Build Neighborhood Capacity
о Raise awareness for the planning process to allow for greater and more effective participation. о Build capacity and empower community members to be engaged in the process and to take ownership of the Stockton Blvd Plan.
о Pay for local expertise within the community and hire locally. о Partner with community-based organizations who are already working in the area and will continue to support the community after the planning process is complete.

3. Increase Local Ownership
о Defer to local expertise and find opportunities to support community-led efforts. о Collaborate with existing initiatives that support the community, don’t compete. о Develop resources and tools to support those who have been historically disenfranchised from past economic success.

The City engaged a local consultant
team, including two community-based
organizations, Building Healthy Communities
and Civic Thread, to keep planning funds
inside the community, build local capacity,
create authentic/transparent engagement,
and support community leadership.

Local artist, Aliyah Sidqe, was hired to
design the logo.

With the help of Resident
Planning Team members,
the City paid local artists
and businesses to provide
entertainment and food for
community events.

Representatives of other initiatives were invited to participate in Stockton Blvd Plan events, including Celebrate Stockton Blvd and Spotlight on Stockton.

A group of residents
from a wide variety of
neighborhoods along
the corridor provided
oversight and support
during the planning
process as the
Resident Planning
Team.

CHAPTER 3

3.4. Summary of Engagement
Activities
Collaboration and engagement began early in the
planning process and will continue through plan
adoption. Engagement activities have prioritized
outreach in identified underserved communities,
while also including all the elements to ensure
broad public participation in the planning process.

This section summarizes the main outreach
activities to date for each phase of the planning
process (see Community Engagement Methods
below). A detailed description of individual
activities, outreach materials, and summaries are
compiled in Appendix A.

Phase 1: Inventory
During the first phase, the Engagement
Team began to gather information about the
Neighborhood Study Area and started to work
on the various existing conditions reports. The
results of these reports were later used to inform
the draft strategies. This phase also included
a draft engagement strategy based on the
community engagement goals listed in Section 3.2
Community-Centered Planning Process.

Phase 2: Issues and Priorities
In the Fall of 2020, the Engagement Team
recruited a group of residents to advise and
ensure that the community is well-represented
in developing the ideas to be included in the
Stockton Blvd Plan. The Engagement Team started
the first of many Resident Planning Team (RPT)
meetings to discuss the issues in the corridor and
surrounding neighborhoods and how to engage
residents in the planning process.

Phase 3: Visioning
On February 10, 2021, the RPT and Engagement
Team held the first large meeting for the planning
effort—Stockton Blvd Plan: Reflect, Connect, Affect.

The workshop focused on understanding ideas for
the future of the corridor. After the event, visioning
responses were organized into six themes:
1) Placemaking, Arts, and Culture
2) Mobility, and Transportation
3) Environment and Public Health
4) Inclusive Economic Development
5) Housing and Anti-Displacement
6) Other and Multi-issue.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT METHODS
The Engagement Team used a wide variety of methods to engage and involve residents, business owners, landowners, organizations, and other stakeholders including:
• Community celebrations
• Online community conversations/events
• Surveys
• Translated materials
• Interpretation
• Resident Planning Team
• Multilingual/multicultural community
ambassadors
• Pop-up events
• Multilingual videos
• Office hours
• Online documents/interactive review
32 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
These topics influenced the direction for the
planning effort. The Engagement Team developed
draft vision statements and conducted an online
survey asking for input on the various phrases. The
input was used to create a draft vision statement.

Phase 4: Strategies
Using the input from the large workshop, the
RPT and City staff brainstormed strategies during
working group meetings in April and May of 2021
on the following topics: Environment and Public
Health; Placemaking, Arts and Culture; Inclusive
Economic Development; Housing and AntiDisplacement; and Mobility and Transportation.

Two topics were elevated as being of higher
importance and the Engagement Team held
online community conversations on June 23 and
July 1, 2021, centering around anti-displacement
strategies and community ownership models.

These two meetings included panels of
organizations and individuals working on these
topics as well as discussion with attendees. The
City continued to meet with the RPT throughout
2021, discussing the engagement activities as well
as collecting ideas for what should be included in
the Plan.

On July 20, 2021, City staff conducted a scoping
meeting to kick off the environmental review
and collect ideas for what should be analyzed.

On August 25, 2021, City staff held an online
conversation to address questions about the City’s
development process and obtain input on how
the Stockton Blvd Plan could address land use or
development refinements.

Throughout September and October, the
Engagement Team held a series of engagement
events to gain input from residents and business
owners on potential strategies. These included:

1. Online Surveys in English, Spanish, Hmong,
Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese.

2. Pop-up events at the library and two affordable
housing projects on September 11, September
23, and October 21, 2021, respectively.

3. A multilingual discussion at Will C. Wood
Middle School on September 22, 2021.

4. An online discussion on September 29, 2021.

5. Celebrate Stockton Boulevard on October 23,
2021. This celebration included a resource
fair, entertainment, free food, and a chance to
review the strategies and provide input.

Pop-Up events were held to collect input from the community.

6. Harvest Festival on October 28, 2021. The
Engagement Team held a Harvest Fest for the
community members with food, raffle prizes,
and a discussion about the future of Stockton
Boulevard. Along with English, materials and
staff were available for Chinese (Mandarin and
Cantonese), Spanish, Hmong, and Vietnamese
speakers.

Phase 5: Create Draft Plan
When reviewing the input, the Engagement
Team made changes to the schedule and plan
to accommodate input the team received. One
idea was to add another draft to the schedule to
give the community a chance to work on the Plan
before it was complete. The Engagement Team
reviewed the input that the team collected and
used it to draft a Community Working Version of
the Stockton Blvd Plan. The second idea was that
the Plan should be built around anti-displacement
values, which are now included.

Phase 6: Community Working Version
The Community (Working Version) Stockton Blvd
Plan was published in July 2022, as a work in
progress. It was prepared based on what the
community said in prior phases. The Working
Version provided the Engagement Team a
chance to work together with residents and
business owners to ensure this document would
reflect community priorities and values. From
July to October 2022, The Engagement Team
collaborated with residents and business owners
on how to make the Plan better. The engagement
included:

1. An online version of the Plan to collect
comments, questions, and ideas.

2. An online anti-displacement community
conversation on September 23, 2022 to review
the Plan’s anti-displacement framework and
actions.

3. Spotlight on Stockton event on October 8,
2022, to hear from residents, businesses, and
community members on what they love about
the area and what matters most to them for the
Stockton Blvd Plan. This event included games,
free food, and raffles. Members of the RPT
helped to plan and host the event. Interpreters
were available for Hmong, Cantonese,
Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Spanish speakers.

4. Six meetings and consultation with multilingual/
multicultural partners. The Engagement Team
met with Community Ambassadors who
advised on how best to engage the AfricanAmerican, Hmong, Chinese, Hispanic, and Vietnamese communities. These individuals
also planned and supported additional
engagement to these various communities.

5. Four pop-up events with translated materials
and community ambassadors and/or
interpreters for the appropriate languages.

The Engagement Team hosted a table at the
Mid Autumn Festival on September 10, 2022,
and included a Vietnamese interpreter. On
September 17, 2022, the Engagement Team
had a table at La Superior, focused on Spanish
and English speakers. On September 24,
2022, a pop-up was held at A&A Market, which
focused on Vietnamese and English speakers.

The final pop-up was held at SF Market on
October 13th and focused on Chinese and
English speakers.

6. Stockton Blvd Plan Office Hours. Between
October 17-27, 2022, City staff conducted open
office hours, hosted by the Stockton Boulevard
Partnership. While the office hours were open
to all, the City focused on reaching business
owners and property owners to discuss and
provide input on the Community Working
Version of the Stockton Blvd Plan.

Phase 7: Update Plan
City staff reviewed the input from Phase 6, which
included the following ideas:

1. The Plan is too complicated and hard to read.

2. Support for having anti-displacement values as
part of the Plan, but there was a desire to make
sure the rest of the Plan was more clearly tied
to the values. Anti-displacement values were
more important to reviewers than the vision
statement.

3. Need more clarity on how input from the
community engagement was addressed
throughout the Plan.

4. There are too many actions, and it is unclear
how they will be implemented.

5. The Plan should address safety concerns,
especially crime and poor physical conditions
along the corridor.

6. The Plan should address the lack of greenery
and gathering spaces in the area.

7. The Plan should address ways to increase
active land uses for families and youth.

8. The Plan should better reflect personal and
collective stories.

9. Substantial input received on mobility and
transportation.

City staff updated the Plan to address the above
comments. This draft is released as the Public
Review Draft Stockton Blvd Plan.

Phase 8: Public Review Draft Plan/EIR
This phase included circulating the Public Review
Draft Stockton Blvd Plan and Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for review and comment. During the
review period, City staff provided email updates,
connected with RPT members and other key
careholders to provide individualized updates,
held an educational game night, shared flyers at
community meetings, released a video showing
how to navigate and comment on the Plan, and
collected input from the interactive website. The
EIR review period was open for 45 days.

Phase 9: Adopt Plan
This phase includes public meetings and hearings
with decision-makers. This discussion will be
updated with the Final Draft.

Resident Planning Team
The Engagement Team collaborated with a
team of residents from neighborhoods in the
Neighborhood Study Area to act as consultants
and collaborators to help build and inform the
development of the Stockton Blvd Plan. Each
member of the RPT was offered a stipend for
participation in the process. Meetings began in
the Fall of 2020 and occurred monthly throughout
2021. Since inception, there have been a total of
11 RPT meetings (plus 5 additional working group
meetings). Figure 13 shows a screenshot of the
October 2020 virtual RPT meeting.

Working Group Meetings
The Engagement Team and RPT met with various
City departments and agencies for a series of
working group meetings on: Environment and
Public Health; Placemaking, Arts and Culture;
Inclusive Economic Development; Housing
and Anti-Displacement; and Mobility and
Transportation. The meetings were held to learn,
share resources, discuss current actions being
taken, and begin thinking through strategies and
actions for the Plan.

Community Conversations
Anti-Displacement and Community Ownership
The Engagement Team hosted three online
community conversations about anti-displacement
strategies and community ownership models.

The meetings featured a panel of individuals from
community-based organizations, stakeholders, RPT
members, and interested residents.

Land Use and Development
City staff held an online conversation to address
questions about the City’s development process
and obtain input on how the Stockton Blvd
Plan could address land use or development
refinements. City staff provided an overview of
the Plan, existing tools that regulate land use,
and explained how the City reviews development
applications. Attendees and City staff discussed
types of land uses the community would like to see
more of on the corridor, how the City can partner
with the community to guide future development,
and City staff answered questions about the
development process.

Multilingual Outreach
Multilingual outreach focused on providing interpreters at dedicated multilingual events. An effective strategy for in-person multilingual engagement was to have tables for each language and translated handouts of the strategy boards so that interpreters could guide participants through the prioritization process and help translate any questions that came up. Additional outreach strategies for reaching multilingual populations included:
• Flyering at local supermarkets (such as La Superior and Vinh Phat) • Flyering at community centers (such as La Familia and Asian Resources) • Sharing printed strategy handouts with community partners to distribute and collect as paper versions of the online survey
• Sharing event information with Vietnamese magazines (such as Mo Magazine and Lang-Books Magazine)

3.5. Community Planning Priorities
The following community planning priorities were identified by Stockton Boulevard residents and stakeholders over a series of community engagement sessions identified throughout this chapter. The priorities listed are not actionable steps required to be undertaken by the City for implementation of the Specific Plan, but rather provide a high-level summary of the main priorities and concerns that residents and community members identified during the engagement process. The key themes are as follows:

Land Use
Land Use
Housing
Culture, Arts, and Community Character
Inclusive Economic Development
Environment, Public Health, and Safety
Community Engagement and Capacity Building
Mobility and Transportation
Land Use Community Priorities
LU-1: Activate Vacant and Underutilized Sites
LU-2: Increase Active Land Uses Along the
Corridor
LU-3: Support Family and Child-serving Land
Uses
Community members enjoy the diversity of
businesses along the corridor but are concerned
about the number of vacant lots and the negative
activities that happen near and on those lots.

Most want to see more active land uses and
would welcome more family-friendly uses as well
as activities and resources for children, youth,
and seniors. The importance of housing was
emphasized over and over again. Many community
members said they would like to see vibrant public
spaces that can be used for gathering for festivals,
street markets, pop-up events, and nightlife,
especially within Little Saigon. It is important
to community members that there be a mix of
community-serving businesses that are within
walking distance of homes and workplaces.

Housing
Maintaining an affordable and stable housing
stock and preventing residential displacement
are of critical concern. Surveyed residents,
workers, business owners, and other stakeholders
say they would like to see a mix of residential
dwelling types, including units for families,
unhoused neighbors, seniors, the workforce
population, people with disabilities, and those
formerly incarcerated. It is important that singleand multi-family units and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are designed to be sensitive to
the existing community context. New housing
is needed immediately to address existing
Housing Community Priorities
H-1: Connect Residents to Resources and
Programs to Keep them Housed and Build
Generational Wealth
H-2: Provide all Types of Housing to Serve the
Diverse Needs of Residents
H-3: Ensure Tenant Protections and Support
Tenant Rights
H-4: Address the Needs of Unhoused
Neighbors and Provide for Safe, Clean, and
Comfortable Shelters and Long-Term Housing

CHAPTER 3
Culture, Arts, and Community Character
Community members want to protect, celebrate,
and enhance the cultural and ethnic diversity,
art, and community-centered character of the of
Stockton Boulevard corridor and its surrounding
neighborhoods. Community members are proud of
their local history, places, and businesses including
the Oak Park Community Center, Colonial Heights
Library, Little Saigon, and Colonial Theatre, among
many other sites. A mix of local-serving businesses
and public spaces provide culturally relevant
services, art, recreation, and entertainment in
the community. Commenters voiced a desire to
integrate culture and arts, including events and
other temporary activities. There is an interest in
Culture, Arts, and Community Character

shortages and to prevent further price increases.

Community members emphasized the need to
protect tenants by providing resources to keep
them safely housed. They would also like to
see more resources and programs for those
who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing
homelessness. Community members want to
increase homeownership opportunities for
existing residents as well as welcome alternative
land ownership models, such as community land
trusts and cooperatives. Many people expressed
concerns that housing resources are decentralized
and difficult to access. Overall, Stockton Boulevard
residents want to be able to choose to stay in
their homes and have access to affordable and
well-maintained housing as well as resources and
programming.
a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design,
and management of public and private spaces
that capitalizes on the local community’s assets,
inspiration, and potential, with the intention of
promoting the cultural diversity, health, happiness,
and well-being of the Stockton Boulevard and
neighboring areas.

Inclusive Economic Development
Community members love the local, communityserving businesses on and near Stockton Boulevard because they are reflective of the
various cultures that are present in the area.

These businesses contribute economically, as
well as culturally, to the corridor’s vitality and
distinctiveness. Therefore, community members
expressed an immediate need for programs to
support the existing businesses to ensure their
health, prosperity, and retention. In addition, it is a common desire for there to be greater economic
activity, opportunity, and resources for small
businesses. It is important to commenters that
there be workforce training and support to connect
local residents to existing and new jobs, especially
for low-income and BIPOC residents.

Environment, Public Health, and Safety
Residents, businesses, and visitors alike desire
a safer and more secure environment along the
Stockton Boulevard corridor. Many voiced safety
concerns in public space related to unlawful
and undesired activities, including drug use,
sex trafficking, and littering. The poor physical
conditions of the corridor that commenters cited
include vacant or blighted lots and storefronts,
littered streets, minimal lighting, few protected
street crossings, and unpleasant roadway and
sidewalk conditions. Community members
identified environmental health concerns such as
air pollution, contaminated water, hazardous waste,
and an inadequate tree canopy and shade. While
community members expressed their love of the
corridor, they want to have better walking and
bicycle connections and bus services that provide
safer and more comfortable access to schools,
jobs, grocery stores, health care, and other
destinations during the day and night. Residents

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
CHAPTER 3
Mobility and Transportation
Stockton Boulevard is a major transportation
corridor to the Central City and surrounding
neighborhoods. Community members want an
improved walking and bicycling environment
along the corridor with safer routes to schools,
parks, businesses, and other landmarks. Residents
expressed interest in improving conditions
for walking, bicycling and driving along the
corridor, with concerns about driving speeds,
gaps in the bikeway network, and improving the
walking environment with crossings, lighting, and
landscaping. Overall, residents would like to see
“complete streets,” where the street network is
improved for people walking, biking, driving, and
riding transit instead of a prioritization of vehicular transit.

Mobility and Transportation
Mobility and Transportation is addressed
through adopted transportation-specific
documents, including the Stockton Boulevard
Corridor Plan, incorporated by reference and
available for review in Appendix F.

HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 45

LAND USE
CHAPTER 4
Land Use
Goal LU-1: A vibrant corridor flourishes with thriving commercial uses, a wide variety of housing options, and abundant
entertainment and recreational amenities.

4.1. Introduction
Stockton Boulevard is poised for new development in the coming years and the Specific Plan Area has the potential to become a strong and vital corridor reminiscent of its past history as a community main street and streetcar corridor. Anchoring the new development is Aggie Square at the UC Davis Medical Center and the demand for associated business and housing that will follow. Recognizing that with development comes risks of gentrification and displacement, the Specific Plan has been coupled with a Neighborhood Action Plan to ensure equitable community planning and inclusive economic development is at the core of the Specific Plan and its implementation.

The Specific Plan has the opportunity to support revitalization as growth along Stockton Boulevard occurs. The framework to guide land use and urban form along the Stockton Boulevard corridor relies on established citywide planning documents, including the City’s 2040 General Plan and Design Guidelines.

This Plan supports infill development to create a vibrant corridor with thriving commercial and housing for all. 4 46 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024

4.2. Existing Policies, Plans, and
Programs
2040 General Plan
The 2040 General Plan Land Use Map and map
of Maximum Allowable FAR guide development
approvals as projects are proposed. The Stockton
Blvd Plan is consistent with, and implements, the
policies and actions of the General Plan including
the following:
• LUP-2.3 Diverse Centers and Corridors.

The City shall encourage the development
of centers and corridors that address diverse
community needs, support local market
opportunities, are well-served by transit,
and are well-integrated with the surrounding
neighborhoods.
• LUP-6.4 Neighborhood Form. The City
shall recognize the patterns in existing
neighborhoods by developing defined
transitions between these neighborhoods
and adjoining areas, and by requiring that
new development, both private and public,
consider the existing physical characteristics
of buildings, streetscapes, open spaces, and
urban form of the neighborhood in its design.

Designs may be traditional or contemporary
but should contribute to the livability of the
neighborhood.
• EJ-2.10 Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone.

The City shall continue to implement the
Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone to facilitate
activation of vacant and undeveloped spaces
and improve access to fresh, healthy, and
affordable foods.
• EJ-2.16 Discourage Unhealthy Uses. The City
should discourage the establishment of new
drive-through restaurants, alcohol permits for
off-site sales, and tobacco sales points near
food deserts, schools, and pedestrian priority
areas.
• FB-LUP-2 Stockton Boulevard Revitalization.

The City shall continue to develop and
implement the Stockton Blvd Plan to extend
revitalization programs for Stockton Boulevard
to the area between Alhambra Boulevard and
Riza Avenue, with the objectives of improving
the quality of life and economic opportunity for
existing residents and businesses along the
corridor, increasing community ownership, and
building local capacity.
• YPRO-2.7. Child/Older Adult Care. The
City shall encourage the development of
reasonably priced high-quality childcare and
older adult care facilities and services in a
variety of settings, including in residential
neighborhoods and near work sites.

Fruitridge-Broadway Community Plan
The Fruitridge-Broadway Community Plan—a
chapter of the 2040 General Plan—contains
policies that address issues specific to the
Fruitridge Broadway Area, which encompasses
the Stockton Blvd Plan Area. Policies encourage
transit supportive uses, revitalization of Stockton
Boulevard, and the relocation of non-conforming
light-industrial uses from Stockton Boulevard.

City Planning and Development Code
The City of Sacramento Planning and Development
Code (Code) establishes the zoning regulations
that implement the General Plan. The Specific Plan
relies on the Code to dictate how land can be used,
how much development can occur on a given
parcel of land, and what other physical controls for
development must be considered (e.g., setbacks,
height, and lot coverage). The zoning code
regulations, outlined in Title 17 of the Code, shall
govern the Specific Plan Area.

HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 47

LAND USE
CHAPTER 4
Broadway-Stockton Special Planning District
The Specific Plan Area generally falls within the
Broadway-Stockton Special Planning District
(SPD). The SPD, adopted as Chapter 17.404 of the
Planning and Development Code, contains a list of
prohibited uses that are considered incompatible
with residential neighborhoods or that contribute
to visual or economic blight:
• Auto—sales, storage, rental.
• Bar, nightclub.
• Transit vehicle—service, repair, storage.
• Check-cashing center.
• Alcoholic beverage sales, off-premises
consumption (15,000 square feet or less of
gross floor area).
• Towing service; vehicle storage yard.
• Mini storage; locker building.
• Auto—service, repair.

City Design Guidelines
The City’s design guidelines and development
standards provide design guidelines and principals
for residential, commercial, industrial, and
business park uses, as well as historic districts and
landmarks, to create consistency in the design
review process while allowing for variety and
innovation. Projects in the Specific Plan Area will
be reviewed for compliance with these standards.

Airport Land Use Consistency
The Specific Plan Area partially overlaps the
Sacramento Executive Airport influence area. Any
development within the airport influence area
shall comply with City Code Chapter 17.312, the
Airport Land Use Commission Law in California
Public Utilities Code section 21670 et seq., and the
Executive Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

Commercial uses account for over 42 percent of the land along the Stockton Boulevard corridor.

Residential uses, such as this affordable housing complex, account for only 8 percent of the land on the corridor.
48 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Office uses account for nearly 15 percent of the land on the corridor.

4.3. Assets and Challenges
Existing Land Uses
Today, the Stockton Boulevard corridor is primarily
made up of commercial uses, at over 42 percent
of the land area. Nearly 15 percent of the land area
includes office uses; 13 percent is vacant; and only
8 percent of the land is residential; 7 percent is
industrial; 7 percent is care/health uses; and other
uses, including church/welfare, public/utilities,
recreational, and miscellaneous uses account for
the remaining 8 percent of land area. Existing land
uses are shown in 4 and a summary of the area of
each type of land uses is included in Table 3.

Vacant and Underutilized Areas
With many vacant sites and underutilized parcels,
opportunities along the corridor vary from reuse
and infill of vacant buildings and storefronts,
development of paved lots and parking lots, to
creation of community spaces, neighborhood
parks, and streetscape and infrastructure
improvements. Figure 15 identifies vacant and
underutilized areas within the Specific Plan Area.

Anticipated Development Projects
Stockton Boulevard is ripe with development
opportunities. In addition to the $1 billion Aggie
Square development at UC Davis, there are
currently (2024) several housing developments
approved and in the pipeline, including nearly
1,700 units of housing of which at least 600 units
will be affordable to lower-income residents.

Mutual Housing California was selected by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) to build affordable housing on the San Juan Motel site at 5700 Stockton Blvd.

Mercy Housing is planning to build 200 units of affordable housing at 4995 Stockton Blvd.

The Gateway is a proposal for 196 housing units and ground floor retail on either side of Stockton Blvd at 9th and 10th Avenues.

Aggie Square will include one million square feet of research labs and commercial office space as well as 200 beds of student housing.

4.4. Land Use Strategy
This section provides the regulatory framework
that governs the land uses and type of
development within the Specific Plan Area. The
Specific Plan adopts the land uses and design
standards set forth in existing city documents,
including the 2040 General Plan, the City Planning
and Development Code, and the City Design
Guidelines.
2040 General Plan Land Uses
The 2040 General Plan establishes the land uses
for the City, including the Specific Plan Area, along
with a framework of policies that guide design and
urban form. The 2040 General Plan establishes
10 land use designations, applicable citywide. The
Specific Plan incorporates the General Plan’s land
uses and associated building intensity standards.

General Plan land uses applicable to the Specific
Plan Area are shown in Figure 16 and include
Residential Mixed-Use and Public/Quasi-Public.

A description of each of the land use designations
within the Specific Plan Area and the type of land
uses allowed within each designation follows in
Table 4. Refer to the 2040 General Plan for the
complete list of allowed land uses.

In place of residential density, the 2040 General
Plan uses Floor Area Ratio (FAR) as the regulatory
standard for measuring intensity. The intent is to
emphasize urban form and promote new housing
production rather than the number of units in a
development. FAR standards that apply to the
Specific Plan Area are illustrated in Figure 17.

Table 4. 2040 General Plan Land Use Designations

Note: Total buildout numbers include list of projects that are in the pipeline to be developed, as of December 2021. the General Plan, serve as a means of assessing
infrastructure needs within the Specific Plan Area.

The buildout estimates/development potential of
each corridor subarea is not fixed and may shift
among the subareas.

Projected Specific Plan Development by 2040
The full buildout scenario described above is
useful for understanding the ultimate levels of
development that would occur within the specific
plan area with implementation of the Stockton
Blvd Plan. Full buildout of a specific plan of this
size typically occurs over decades and sometimes
beyond 50 years. As previously mentioned,
the Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent with the
Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
Building intensity standards are established by
floor area ratio (FAR) for residential development.

Building intensity standards are established by
minimum building density and maximum FAR.

FAR is calculated by dividing the gross building area
(GBA) by the total net lot area (NLA) (both expressed
in square feet). GBA is the total building area of a
site less structures parking areas and open space
(common, public, and private). Net lot area is the
total lot size, excluding publicly dedicated land:
private streets which meet City standards, and other
public use areas.

See the Land Use and Placemaking Chapter in the 2040 General Plan for more information. 56 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024

4.5. Land Use Policies
The following policies are intended for the Specific
Plan Area.

Policy LU-1: Activating Development. Encourage
activities and land uses that will fill in empty or
underutilized spaces in the Specific Plan Area.

Policy LU-2: Zoning Updates. Review the zoning
for the Specific Plan Area to assess its compatibility
with current community priorities.

Policy LU-3: Reduce Parcel and Building
Vacancies. Work with property owners and
community members to reduce vacancies and
increase community-supportive uses of vacant
parcels and buildings in the Specific Plan Area.

Photos by Carlos Eliason
2040 General Plan. Full buildout of the Specific
Plan would likely extend well-beyond the 2040
planning horizon used in the City’s 2040 General
Plan. In order to provide a consistent planning
context, it is useful to provide the anticipated level
of development projected to occur under the
Specific Plan within the 2040 planning horizon.

By year 2040, using the same assumptions as
the 2040 General Plan, development under the
Specific Plan is projected to provide a total of
2,007 housing units and 5,819 jobs.

COMMUNITY REFLECTIONS
“We need an eviction help center. Tenants don’t know
landlord tenant law and they don’t know how to fight
housing battles. Displacement and gentrification
cause negative impacts on education, job opportunites,
commute times, and mental health.”
“Ensure affordability for generations to come.”

HOUSING SUMMARY
The goal for this topic is to ensure that residents have access to adequate and attainable housing options.

What does the community say are the most important housing priorities?
• Connect Residents to Resources and Programs to Keep Them Housed and Build Generational Wealth. (Community Priority H-1)
• Provide All Types of Housing to Serve the Diverse Needs of Residents. (Community Priority H-2) • Ensure Tenant Protections and Support Tenant Rights. (Community Priority H-3) • Address the Needs of Unhoused Neighbors and Provide for Safe, Clean, and Comfortable Shelters and Long-term Housing. (Community Priority H-4) For more information on these community priorities, see Chapter 11: Implementation.

What are the priorities in the Neighborhood Action Plan? • Homelessness Prevention Programs: Expand homelessness prevention programs within the Neighborhood Study Area, including one-time rental assistance, emergency bill-payment assistance (e.g., medical bills, car repairs), or other similar prevention services. (Priority Action H-1a)
• Home Repair Programs: Create, expand, and maintain home repair programs for varying levels of repair needs in the Neighborhood Study Area. Home repair could address health and safety concerns, provide updates to allow aging-in-place, or reduce utility costs through electrification or home efficiency updates. (Priority Action H-1b)
• Homebuying Assistance Programs: Expand down payment and other home buying assistance programs to increase homeownership among existing residents in the Neighborhood Study Area. This could include distributing information about local, State, and federal programs; connecting residents with financial assistance or financial empowerment services, or expanding creative down payment alternatives (e.g., sweat equity). Focus outreach efforts in communities historically excluded from homeownership opportunities. (Priority Action H-1c) • Housing Help Center: Provide a centralized, comprehensive, and accessible method for residents to access housing resources and information on tenant’s rights. With so many resources and scattered information, it can be hard to find the appropriate help. While 211 provides some support for human services needs, there is no “one-stop shop” where someone can go to receive referrals to all the potential organizations and programs that could serve their needs. The Renter’s Help Line (https://www.rentershelpline.org/) provides information on tenant’s rights and responsibilities and offers tenant-landlord dispute resolution. (Priority Action H-1d)
• Support Housing Development: Support property owners and developers, non-profit and private, to develop a mix of new housing projects (e.g., accessory dwelling units, medium- and high-density housing at mixed income levels, co-housing, workforce housing, housing affordable to lower income households, supportive housing for persons with disabilities, and senior housing). Continue to provide information to homeowners on how to build and operate new units and connect landowners and developers to resources through the ADU Resource Center and Housing Development Toolkit. (Priority Action H-2a) For more information on priority actions, see Chapter 11: Implementation.

HOUSING
CHAPTER 5
Housing
Goal H-1: Residents have access to adequate and attainable housing options.

5.1. Introduction
Many of the neighborhoods surrounding Stockton
Boulevard have remained relatively affordable
compared to other Sacramento neighborhoods,
providing homes for lower-income households,
many of whom are BIPOC communities and
immigrant households. However, as the housing
market continues to tighten within the Sacramento
region and as Aggie Square – the $1.1 billion
state-of-the-art hub for research, innovation
and education near the UC Davis Med Center
– attracts new investment in the area, the
neighborhoods surrounding Stockton Boulevard
have begun feeling the pressures of increasing
housing costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has
exacerbated the housing crisis, leaving many
more residents at risk of displacement and
homelessness.

5.2. Existing Policies, Plans, and
Programs
2040 General Plan
The Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent with, and
implements, the policies and actions of the
General Plan including the following:
• LUP-4.2 Incentivizing Infill. The City shall
consider a range of incentives to attract
development to centers, corridors, and sites,
including the following:
• Prioritization of capital investment strategies
for infrastructure, services, and amenities to
support development;
• Economic incentives (e.g., fee reductions,
regulatory exemptions, or tools such as
enhanced infrastructure financing districts

2021-2029 Housing Element
The Housing Element contains numerous
policies and programs addressing homelessness,
ensuring affordable housing choices for people
of all ages and income levels, and preventing
displacement, which are important community
priorities. The Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent
with, and implements, the policies and actions of
the Housing Element including the following:
• H-4.1 Expand Housing Types Throughout
the City. The City shall take meaningful
actions to allow for a greater array of housing
types throughout the city to create more
inclusive and equitable neighborhoods and to
affirmatively further fair housing.
• H-4.4 Support Wealth-building Activities for
Low-income Residents. The City shall support
efforts to connect low-income residents
with financial empowerment resources,
homeownership programs, small business
assistance, living wage jobs, and workforce
training resources and services.
• H-5.1 Minimize Displacement of Vulnerable
Residents. The City shall work to make all
neighborhoods places of opportunity and
encourage investments while minimizing the
involuntary displacement of people of color
and other vulnerable populations, such as
low-income households, the elderly, and
people with disabilities due to the influx of less
vulnerable populations attracted by increased
opportunities and/or investments.
• H-5.3 Develop Neighborhood-Specific AntiDisplacement Strategies. The City shall engage neighborhood residents in developing
customized anti-displacement solutions
through neighborhood-level planning in areas
targeted for inclusive economic and community
development, particularly those at-risk of
displacement.
• H-5.8 Homeowner Protection Services. The
City shall promote and expand programs that
support existing homeowners in affording and
maintaining their home, including home repairs
and foreclosure prevention, with a focus on
people of color and vulnerable populations,
such as low-income households, the elderly,
and people with disabilities.
• H-7.5 Prevention Resources. The City shall
use data to focus on impactful solutions, longterm outcomes, and strategies that target those most at risk of homelessness by connecting
them to affordable housing, prevention
resources, workforce training, and supportive
services that will help prevent them from losing
their homes (e.g., rental assistance programs,
tenant protections, and job assistance).

Community Benefits Partnership Agreement
Aggie Square–a more than $1 billion project
located along Stockton Boulevard on the UC
Davis Sacramento campus–is a public-private
partnership between UC Davis, Wexford Science
and Technology and the City of Sacramento. This
planned innovation hub will be home to research
programs, private industry partners, classrooms,
student housing, and public-facing programs that
engage local communities and entrepreneurs.

In April 2020, the City entered into a Community
Benefits Partnership Agreement (CBPA) with UC
Davis and Wexford Science and Technology to
address community concerns expressed during
an extensive community-input process. The CBPA
promotes inclusive economic development and
improve physical and economic opportunities for
neighborhoods and local residents, particularly
those adjacent to Aggie Square and lower-income
neighborhoods that historically have not benefitted
from economic development.

Commitments in the CBPA include:

1. Affordable housing development and
assistance;

2. Jobs, workforce, and career pathways;

3. Youth opportunities and educational
support;
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 63

HOUSING
CHAPTER 5

4. Community access to space and resources
in Aggie Square;

5. Connections to adjacent business districts;
and

6. Neighborhood transportation connections
and street enhancements.

Beyond these commitments, an ongoing Aggie
Square community fund will be used to address
neighborhood priorities that residents will help
to decide. An initial survey was conducted in
early 2022 to identify community priorities for
use of these funds. The City will continue to work
with the community to prioritize use of the funds
for affordable housing and anti-displacement
programs based on the community’s greatest
identified needs.

Additionally, City Council approved the creation of
an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD)
for Aggie Square, which will allow the City’s portion
of increased property taxes to pay for up to $30
million of infrastructure improvements; 20 percent
of the funds generated through the EIFD will be
dedicated to building affordable housing in the
surrounding neighborhood.

Tenant Protection Act
Sacramento’s Tenant Protection and Relief
Ordinance, adopted in 2019, provides both rent
control and just cause eviction protection. The
Ordinance protects most City of Sacramento
residential tenants living in multifamily rental units
(e.g., duplexes, apartments) against unfair rent
increases and unlawful evictions. It enforces limits
on annual rent increases and requires “just cause”
reasons to terminate a lease. Rent increases
cannot occur more than once every 12 months
and cannot exceed the maximum annual rent
adjustment (i.e., 5% plus the percentage of the
annual increase in the cost of living adjustment, if
any, but not to exceed a combined total of 10%).

Because of limitations created by State law, units
built after 1995 are exempt. As part of the City’s
Housing Element, the City will be reviewing the
effectiveness of this ordinance and considering
changes to strengthen it prior to 2024.

Rental Home Inspection Program
The City’s proactive Rental Home Inspection
Program protects renters by requiring landlords
to maintain their buildings up to code, rather than
relying on complaints from tenants.

Renter’s Help Line
Sacramento Self-Help Housing in conjunction
with Project Sentinel operates a telephone and
internet-based helpline that provides counseling,
dispute resolution and fair housing services for
Sacramento County residents. Project Sentinel
refers some cases to Legal Services of Northern
California for further support. These services
are funded by the Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) on behalf of the
City and County.
211 Resource Center
2-1-1 Sacramento provides referrals to more than
1,600 community services in the Sacramento
area, including: senior services, employment and
training, housing information, financial assistance,
children’s services, food programs, health care
services, and more. 2-1-1 is available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week and can provide
assistance in many languages. 2-1-1 or (916) 498-
1000.

First-time Homebuyer Assistance Programs
SHRA offers a variety of programs and resources
to help eligible low-income buyers realize the
dream of homeownership. These include the
Mortgage Credit Certificate program, the CalHome
First-Time Homebuyer Mortgage Assistance
Program, and several affordable home purchase
opportunities.
64 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Mixed Income Housing Ordinance
The City’s Mixed Income Housing Ordinance
(MIHO), adopted in 2015, requires developers
or new market rate housing to pay an affordable
housing impact fee. The amount of the fee
depends on the location and type of residential
project. Currently (2024), the City, through the
Mixed Income Housing Ordinance (MIHO),
applies a reduced Housing Impact Fee for new
developments within the Housing Incentive Zone,
which includes a large portion of the Stockton
Boulevard corridor. The City also applies a zero
fee for high density housing developments. The
City is currently (2024) conducting an economic
feasibility study and considering amendments to
the MIHO with the goal of increasing the amount of
affordable housing built in the City.

Short-term Rental Limitations
In 2016 the City Council established a short-term
rental permit (City Code 5.114). All operators of
short-term rental property (a stay of 30 days or
less) need to apply for either a short-term rental
permit or a conditional use permit from Community
Development. A short-term rental permit allows
the applicant to rent a residential unit or part of a
residential unit on a short-term basis. A short-term
basis is 30 days or less to the same person. A
renter who signs a contract or lease for more than
30 consecutive days is not considered short-term
and this permit would not apply.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Resource Center
The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Resource
Center is a one-stop online resource to find
information and tools about ADUs and to make it
easier for homeowners to plan, build, and operate
an ADU. The Resource Center is available at
https://adu.cityofsacramento.org/.

Housing Development Toolkit
The Housing Development Toolkit provides
resources on converting vacant and underutilized
properties into housing. The toolkit is a one-stop
resource for the public, developers, property
owners, and City of Sacramento staff regarding
incentives, processes, and procedures to develop
housing. The Toolkit is available at https://www.
cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/
Planning/Housing/Housing-Development-Toolkit.

Local Homeless Action Plan
The Sacramento Local Homeless Action Plan
(LHAP) was initiated in early 2022 to create a
cross-jurisdictional unified approach to addressing
homelessness across Sacramento County. This
three-year plan beginning on July 1, 2022, through
June 30, 2025, was developed in partnership with
Sacramento Steps Forward, Sacramento City and
County Continuum of Care, Sacramento County,
City of Sacramento, and the Sacramento Housing
and Redevelopment Agency.

The LHAP is actionable, relatable, and provides a
roadmap for future funding. Outlined in the plan
are key system components that are in alignment
with national best-practices and if resourced
and implemented consistently across funders
and providers, will bring the local response
system to scale with capacity to move the
needle on homelessness. Through these efforts,
homelessness in the County over time will become
preventable whenever possible, brief, and nonrecurring.

Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment
Agency
Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency
(SHRA) is the local Housing Authority for both
the City and County of Sacramento. SHRA owns
and operates 1,508 public housing units in the
City and an additional 771 in the other parts of the
county. SHRA administers the Housing Choice
Voucher program and other rental assistance
programs in Sacramento County and serves
approximately 12,900 families each month by
paying housing assistance payments (HAP) to
landlords on behalf of eligible participants. As
part of the Housing Choice Voucher program,

HOUSING
CHAPTER 5
the tenant pays approximately 30 percent of their
income towards rent and the remainder is paid
by United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) funds directly to the
landlord. SHRA administers over 13,000 Housing
Choice Vouchers throughout Sacramento County.

SHRA has also provided various forms of financing
for approximately 8,600 privately owned deed
restricted units in the City.

Housing construction in the Specific Plan Area.

Completed housing projects in the Specific Plan Area.

5.3. Housing Policies
The following policies are intended for the Specific
Plan Area.

Policy H-1: Keep People Housed. Support funding
and programs that increase household resiliency
and stability, alleviate issues that may contribute
to a loss of housing, and contribute to increased
home ownership.

Policy H-2: Address the Needs of the Unhoused.

Direct resources and programs into the Specific
Plan Area to help unhoused people stay informed
and supported in meeting their needs, especially
for shelter and housing.

Policy H-3: Welcome New Housing. Encourage
the development of a wide variety of housing
types within the Specific Plan Area to
accommodate the diverse needs of residents,
including a range of costs, sizes, ownership
structures, and building types.

Policy H-4: Local Housing for Residents. Require
developers of deed-restricted affordable housing
units within the Specific Plan Area to market to
residents living in the Neighborhood Study Area
about opportunities to apply for available units.

Mai Nguyen’s Story
I’m the [former] Executive Director for the
Community Partners Advocate of Little Saigon
Sacramento (cPALSs), now known as NorCal
Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce, and I’ve
been a community advocate since 2008 in Little
Saigon. So, the most memorable part, and [it was]
such an honor to be a part of this community, is
back in February 2nd of 2010, which was led by
our former councilmember Kevin McCarty–also
now an assemblymember—who led the project in
the designation of Little Saigon.
[I]t was a community project, which include[d] a
lot of the community organizations such as the
Vietnamese American Community of Sacramento
(VACOS) and the Stockton Boulevard Partnership,
including the late Terrence Johnson, who was the
Executive Director at the time. The majority of the
Vietnamese community showed up. I was very
honored to be a part of the Little Saigon
committee at the time. What we did was we
wanted to learn more about how this designation
was going to impact the business and the folks
that are living there in Stockton Boulevard. So, we
looked at the project and we wanted to make
sure that this was an inclusive project where we
give opportunity to this area.

So, what led the project was truly the recognitions
of the BIPOC immigrant business owners out
there. As you know, late in the 1970s, there was
a wave of Vietnamese American immigrants
migrating to the Sacramento area, and a lot of
them reside in south Sacramento. So, some of
them started to set up businesses out there in the
corridor. And in the early 1980s, we have more
folks coming in.

Remember, the SF Supermarket right off 65th,
Huong Lan Sandwiches, and then we had Vinh
Phat Market. We had all of these supermarkets
coming in. So, for 30 years plus, back in 2010,
these immigrant business owners contributed
to the area, really contributing economically,
and building the area. So, the idea came up to
recognize that accomplishment. So, that was how
Little Saigon all started. We knocked on doors;

HOUSING
CHAPTER 5
we wanted to include everyone into this project.

We wanted to have them see the opportunity and
what the name will bring to the area.

So, the designation took place from the City
on February 2nd and from the County-side,
February 4th. It was unanimously voted by the City
councilmembers; it was a historical night. There
was probably 400 plus people.

So, when that happens, we did a celebration; we
included everyone. It really built the momentum
and the enthusiasm of people coming in to dine.

We really want to let everyone know that Little
Saigon is for everyone. So, the project truly
brought together the unity of the community. It
brought together a lot more economic growth. We
wanted to really boost up the local economy out
here and it brought in traffic. And from the cultural
aspect of the area, it’s very diverse. We have pho;
we’re very well known. As everyone knows, food
brings people together and where else would it
be the best, but Little Saigon. We have so much
variety of different food in the area.

The Little Saigon we hope is mainly the
recognition; it brought excitement; it brought
the momentum; and the most important is the
opportunities. We can share and highlight and
bridge along with everything else the historical
[aspect] of Stockton Boulevard itself. The history of
it—back 30, 40, 100 years ago—and how we can
embrace and bring all this together as one big
community in the City of Sacramento.

CULTURE, ARTS, AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Culture, Arts, and Community Character
Goal CACC-1: Diverse voices and cultures are celebrated and flourish through a variety of forms of expression.

6.1. Introduction
Recognizing, celebrating, and enhancing community art, culture, and character along Stockton Boulevard involves understanding the environments we move through in our daily lives. It involves interpreting physical, cultural, and social history, preserving building and cultural assets, celebrating art and music in various formats, providing safe spaces for gathering, and being welcoming to all. This is an integral part of designing and activating public spaces, and an opportunity to honor the past, present, and future identity of a community and its diverse neighborhoods. By expressing cultural awareness and promoting pride of ownership through local building and business owners, a vibrant art and music scene curated by local artists, and regular community events, we can help preserve a community against displacement and gentrification and encourage local residents to continue investing in their neighborhoods.

Office of Arts and Culture
The City of Sacramento actively supports
innovative approaches to public art, community
festivals, and activities that enliven the public
realm through its Office of Arts and Culture (OAC)
(formerly known as the Sacramento Metropolitan
Arts Commission). OAC provides funding to local
artists and arts groups; promotes the arts through
marketing, outreach, and education initiatives;
provides resources to support and increase
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 73
CHAPTER 6

CULTURE, ARTS, AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER
regional arts education activities; and serves as
a community partner and resource. OAC was
founded in 1977 and is the appropriate place to
begin discussions on the “what and where” of
public art within the City and Stockton Boulevard in
particular.

Art in Public Places Program
A key signature program administered by OAC
is the Art in Public Places Program (APP). Across
Sacramento, over 650 works of art have been
implemented through the program dating back to
1977, with more than 60 percent of the installations
coming from local artists. The program is funded
through a 2 percent set-aside from eligible capital
improvement project budgets.

Community Murals Program
OAC also supports a Community Murals Program
that in 2021 selected 39 artists to prepare 10
murals in 8 different districts across the City. Each
artist team partners with neighborhood community
stakeholders, including school districts, community
centers, places of worship, neighborhood
associations, business associations and local
residents. This program is highly successful and
has become a model for other cities to follow.

City of Festivals Special Event Support
Program
The primary purpose of this Program, led by
the City of Sacramento Convention and Cultural
Services Department, is to provide support in the
form of grants for special events from start-up
to self-sufficiency in the Sacramento downtown.

Distinction is made between ticketed and free
admission special events. The event must fall
within a fabric of events consistent with familyoriented themes, entertainment and/or activities, ties the river/region together, promotes the City
of Sacramento, and/or engages in substantial
economic benefit to the City of Sacramento
as determined by the City Manager, or his/her
designee(s).

Park Project Programming Guide
The Parks Project Programming Guide (PPPG)
identifies, evaluates, ranks, and prioritizes
unfunded park and recreation projects, including
acquisitions, repair/ rehabilitation, development,
community facility, and regional projects.

The Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment
Department updates the PPPG every two years;
the posted version will be in effect until such
time as an update is completed and approved
by City Council. The PPPG is a comprehensive
summary of park and recreation needs in all of the
City’s neighborhoods and reflects an extensive
collaboration between city government and the
community.

Vacant Lot Program
The Vacant Lot Program requires owners of vacant
lots to register their property annually and pay a
program fee per parcel. The intent of the program
is to prevent blight associated with undeveloped
vacant lots that include illegal dumping, illegal
camping, overgrowth of vegetation and potential
fire hazards.

African American Experience Project
In 2021, the City of Sacramento applied for and
was selected for a grant opportunity with the
African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.

With the grant funding the City developed a
thematic historic context statement and limited
historic resources survey to identify cultural history, significant people, and places associated with the
African American/Black experience in Sacramento
from the city’s early history through the recent
past (approximately 1980). After numerous public
meetings and an extended public comment
period, the project finalized in the summer of
2023 with the release of the final draft historic
context statement. Efforts to identify and landmark
significant buildings will remain ongoing, as will the
collection of oral history interviews and artifacts
through the City’s website. The project was
adopted by Council on September 19, 2023.

Plazas and gathering spaces can provide community anchors.

Community gardens can be a source of healthy food and
community building.

Flexible spaces for community gathering could be a great public amenity.

INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Inclusive Economic Development
Goal IED-1: A strong, inclusive, and equitable local economy thrives with opportunities and resources for residents and businesses.
7 7.1. Introduction
Inclusive growth has become a central focus
of economic development efforts, based on
an awareness that historical economic growth
has not created prosperity for all. Decades of
discriminatory policies and systems have resulted
in unequal access to high-quality jobs and other
wealth-building opportunities, rising income
disparities, and declining economic mobility, which
have had detrimental impacts on the well-being of
many residents, especially for BIPOC communities.

The objective of inclusive economic growth is
to create an equitable, prosperous, and resilient
society for people of all backgrounds and incomes,
particularly for those facing the greatest barriers,
by broadly expanding economic opportunities
Promoting inclusive
economic growth also
strengthens the entire local
economy by improving
economic competitiveness
and fostering sustainable
growth.

ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND SAFETY
Environment, Public Health, and Safety
Goal E-1: The physical environment promotes the health, safety, and wellbeing of individuals and businesses.

8.1. Introduction
The environment, including the social environment, plays a major role in shaping people’s health outcomes and opportunities. The community living and working along the Stockton Boulevard corridor faces a disproportionate burden of climate risks, pollutants, and related health issues, as well as limited access to services and amenities that promote well-being. The City is dedicated to enhancing climate resilience, promoting environmental justice, and improving health outcomes for all residents through initiatives, programs, and planning efforts outlined in the Stockton Blvd Plan. This Plan includes various neighborhood-level approaches to enhance the local environment, increase community resilience, and promote the sense of safety in the Neighborhood Study Area.

8.2. Existing Policies, Plans, and Programs

• Gathering places; and
• Other measures with demonstrated benefits for health and quality of life. 8 What is resilience?
Community resilience refers to the ability of a community to prepare for, withstand, and recover from disruptive events such as natural disasters, economic crises, or public health emergencies.

It encompasses the physical, economic, and social elements of a community and involves the capacity of individuals, organizations, and systems to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity.

Strong community resilience reduces vulnerability and increases the capacity of communities to bounce back from disruptions.
86 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
• LUP-8.14 Streetscape Beautification. To
strengthen community identity, the City
shall undertake and encourage streetscape
improvement and beautification projects

following:
• Bus shelters,
• Public art, and
• Pedestrian safety treatments such as
• Sidewalk bulb-outs and
• Widening and improved crosswalks, and
• Branded decorative elements such as
street lighting, concrete pavers, and tree
grates.
• EJ-1.1 Air Quality Monitoring. The City shall
support the expansion of air quality monitoring
efforts in Sacramento, prioritizing locations
in the north and south of the city that have
been identified with community input as a high
priority for air pollution control initiatives.
• EJ-1.8 Site Contamination. The City shall
ensure buildings and sites are or have been
investigated for the presence of hazardous
materials and/or waste contamination
before development, where applicable. The
City shall continue to require remediation
and construction techniques for adequate
protection of construction workers, future
occupants, adjacent residents, and the
environment, and ensure they are adequately
protected from hazards associated with
contamination.
• EJ-2.17 Healthy Food Promotion. With
community partners, the City shall expand
efforts to promote healthy eating throughout
the community by preserving and promoting
community gardens, demonstration gardens,
and free and culturally relevant nutrition and
cooking classes at Sacramento community
centers. Efforts should be prioritized in
disadvantaged communities (DACs) and
historically underserved areas, with an
emphasis on supporting low-cost, practical, and
culturally relevant strategies for healthy eating.
• PFS-1.2 Community-Based Policing. The
City shall continue to employ communitybased policing strategies and encourage the establishment of neighborhood watch
programs in partnerships with community
groups to address neighborhood crime.
• YPRO-1.8 Non-Conventional Park Solutions.

In densely built out urban areas of the city
where the provision of large park spaces is
not feasible, the City shall explore creative
solutions to provide neighborhood park and
recreation facilities that serve the needs of
local residents and employees. Such solutions
may include the following:
• Publicly accessible, privately-owned open
spaces and plazas;
• Rooftop play courts and gardens;
• Freeway underpass, utility corridor, and
wide landscape medians;
• Conversion of rails to rails with trails;
• Pocket parks and pedestrian areas in the
public right-of-way; and
• The provision of neighborhood and
community-serving recreational facilities in
regional parks.
• YPRO-1.14 Collaborative Efforts. The City shall
implement community-based crime prevention
strategies with the City’s Park Ranger program,
neighborhood groups, local residents, and
Property and Business Improvement Districts
(PBIDs), concurrent with the City’s Public Safety
Services resolution to help improve safety and
encourage positive activation of parks and
facilities.

ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND SAFETY
Climate Action and Adaptation Plan
The Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP)
includes strategies, measures, and actions for
reducing community wide Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by
2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.

To reach these climate action targets, including
carbon neutrality by 2045, the CAAP includes
various programs and implementation measures
specific to electrification; active transportation;
green jobs and inclusive workforce; food access
and urban agriculture; water conservation, urban
forestry/cooling, and green infrastructure.

Assembly Bill 617
The City works with the Sacramento Metropolitan
Air Quality Management District (Sac Metro Air
District) to oversee air pollution and maintain
health-based air quality standards across the city.

Assembly Bill (AB) 617, signed in 2017 directs
the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
all local air districts, including the Sac Metro Air
District, to take measures to protect communities
disproportionally impacted by air pollution.

There are five central components to the AB 617
mandate:
• Community-level air monitoring
• A state strategy and community specific
emission reduction plans
• Accelerated review of retrofit pollution control
technologies on industrial facilities subject to
Cap-and-Trade
• Enhanced emission reporting requirements
• Increased penalty provisions for polluters
Additionally, CARB may direct additional grant
funding to communities determined to have the
highest air pollution burden.

Community Air Protection Program
As part of AB 617, local air monitoring plans and/
or community emission reduction plans must
be developed for underserved communities
with the highest air pollution burden. In 2018,
the South Sacramento-Florin community was
chosen as one of the 10 statewide communities to
receive additional air monitoring and community
engagement efforts under the AB 617 Community
Air Protection Program. In July 2020, the
Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management
District published the South-Sacramento - Florin
Community Air Monitoring Plan. The Neighborhood
Study Area is identified within this high priority
area.

Community Air Monitoring Plan
The Sac Metro Air District, in collaboration with
the South Sacramento/Florin Steering Committee,
has developed and is implementing a Community
Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) to collect local air
pollution data to help address community air
pollution concerns. The CAMP outlines a three
phase approach to gather detailed data that will
help understand community’s existing levels of
pollution. This air monitoring data will help inform
which strategies are chosen to reduce air pollution
and exposure in a given community.

City of Sacramento Community Engagement
Team
The Neighborhood Development Action Team
(NDAT) Community Engagement Team was
established in 2020 and fosters inclusive civic
engagement by striving to ensure that: residents
are well informed about city matters, resources
and opportunities; and city officials seek resident
input and factor that input into decisions,
programming, plans, and processes. To increase
community engagement on environmental
initiatives in the Neighborhood Study Area. a
Volunteer Service Coordinator can be approached
to help organize beautification events in the
Neighborhood Study Area and promote ongoing
volunteer stewardship.

Sacramento Urban Forest Plan
The City of Sacramento has a long-standing
reputation as the City of Trees. The city’s urban
forest provides many benefits to the city and its
residents; however, the long-term health and
success of the urban forest requires ongoing and
intentional management and action.

The Sacramento Urban Forest Plan (SUFP) is the
City’s primary planning tool for the protection,
expansion, maintenance, sustainability, and
enhancement of Sacramento’s urban forest.

The SUFP will include a vision for the urban
forest; asessments of the current status of the
urban forest; policy and program framework;
and, implementation strategy with timelines and
assigned responsibilities. Staff anticipate bringing
the SUFP forward to City Council for an adoption
hearing in Fall 2024.

Brownfields Program
The City of Sacramento Brownfields Program
assists in redevelopment planning efforts on sites
that may contain environmental contamination.

The program provides financial and technical
assistance for brownfields revitalization, including
grants for environmental assessment, cleanup, and
job training.

8.3. Environment, Public Health,
and Safety Policies
The following policies are intended for the Specific
Plan Area.

Policy E-1: Lighting. Encourage the addition
of pedestrian-scale lighting along the Stockton
Boulevard corridor to improve safety and create a
sense of continuity and place.

What are the priorities of the Neighborhood Action Plan? • Youth Engagement and Leadership: Support efforts to identify barriers to youth participation in City and community decision-making, including hours, age limits, cost, and access. Provide stipends and training that help youth organize and conduct outreach within their communities, and advocate for policy change. (Priority Action CE-1a) • Outreach Resources: Connect community members to relevant resources and services, such as 211 Resource Center, 311 Business Customer Relationship Management System, and Financial Empowerment Center through radio and print advertisements, canvassing or doorto-door engagement, office hours, social media, Community Ambassadors, and other culturally appropriate outreach methods. Continue to work with existing community partners (e.g., faithbased organizations, schools, public agencies, libraries, cultural organizations) to develop stronger outreach and communications coordination to a broad cross section of community. (Priority Action CE-2a)
• Housing Help Center: Provide a centralized, comprehensive, and accessible method for residents to access housing resources and information on tenant’s rights. With so many resources and scattered information, it can be hard to find the appropriate help. While 211 provides some support for human services needs, there is no “one-stop shop” where someone can go to receive referrals to all the potential organizations and programs that could serve their needs. The Renter’s Help Line (https://www.rentershelpline.org/) provides information on tenant’s rights and responsibilities and offers tenant-landlord dispute resolution. (Priority Action H-1d)

Community Engagement and Capacity
Building
Goal CE-1: People are respected, empowered, and supported as the most important element of a thriving corridor and neighborhood.

9.1. Introduction
The Neighborhood Study Area is home to some of
the most diverse and culturally-rich communities in
Sacramento. While many of these neighborhoods
have been historically neglected and disinvested
by public agencies, some community members
have remained engaged and active in advocating
for change and striving for a better future for
their neighborhoods. The Plan prioritizes building
community ownership, voice, and community
capacity, so existing neighborhood groups,
community-based organizations, residents, and
businesses have the power, tools, and support to
lead the transformation of their communities.
9 What is community capacity?
Community capacity refers to the combination
of skills, resources, and attributes that
a community possesses to address its
challenges and achieve its goals. This
includes the community’s ability to organize,
mobilize resources, engage stakeholders,
and build partnerships to effectively address
community issues and bring about positive
change.

community events;
• Employing a wide range of outreach
methods and activities, including popup events, focus groups, community workshops, and online surveys; or
• Providing transportation vouchers,
interpretation and translation services,
childcare, food, or monetary compensation,
or other methods that remove barriers to
participation.
• EJ-4.8 Community Ownership and
Accountability. Recognizing that community
ownership of decisions is fundamental for
successful planning and implementation, the
City shall emphasize collaborative decisionmaking throughout the community engagement process and empower disadvantaged and

City of Sacramento Community Engagement
Team
The Neighborhood Development Action Team
(NDAT) Community Engagement Team was
established in 2020 and fosters inclusive civic
engagement by striving to ensure that: residents
are well informed about city matters, resources
and opportunities; and city officials seek resident
input and factor that input into decisions,
programming, plans, and processes. Within that
overarching goal, a key aim is to educate, engage,
and empower historically underserved residents
by: acknowledging the barriers that BIPOC
and marginalized communities experience in
accessing city government programs and services
or participating in public process; recognizing
diversity as both a strength and opportunity; and
recognizing every project and initiative is different
and therefore the approach to engagement
must be different. The Community Engagement
Team uses best practices to conduct meaningful
outreach by eliminating cultural and language
barriers with a focus on reaching the underserved.

City Manager’s Academy
The City Management Academy (CMA) is a free,
multi-week, instructional course that teaches
participants about how the City of Sacramento
functions. CMA curriculum features guest lectures
from elected officials and department staff focused
on topics ranging from day-to-day operations
to budget development and the public policy
process. To be eligible, applicants must reside
in the city of Sacramento or own a business in
the city of Sacramento. Applicants must also
be at least 16 years old. This program is being
revamped to allow for more accessibility, address
transportation and childcare needs. The CMA
will offer a recorded informational component in
addition to the in-person immersive multi-week
program.

Planning Academy
The City’s Planning Academy is a free course
designed to educate, engage and empower
residents, community organizations and business
owners about the City’s planning process and
how planning shapes our community. The course
objective is to provide participants knowledge,
skills, and connections to encourage civic
engagement in the planning process. Upon
completion of the program, participants will be
effective advocates in future City of Sacramento
planning efforts.

Community Ambassadors Program
The Community Ambassadors Program was first
piloted in 2022 and included six community
members. In 2023, it expanded from six to
eighteen ambassadors. The ambassadors serve
as a liaison between the community and the City
for the Neighborhood Study Area’s underserved
language/cultural groups. The program consists of
paid individuals who are already known by others
in their communities and are willing to partner
with the City to assist in reaching their community.

Community Ambassadors represent specific
demographics and languages in the City in order
to build and maintain relationships with community
partners and residents who also represent
culturally and linguistically diverse populations and
historically underrepresented communities.

Summer @ City Hall
Summer @ City Hall is a comprehensive summer
program for high school students, which was
launched in 2010. The six-week program focuses
on imparting knowledge about local government
processes, civic engagement, and workforce
development through a meaningful curriculum.

within the Specific Plan Area that are subject to
discretionary review and are greater than 10,000
square feet to host a neighborhood meeting prior
to the applicant submitting a formal development
application to the City. The neighborhood meeting
will provide an opportunity for people who live
in the surrounding neighborhood to learn about
the project and have an opportunity to provide
constructive feedback at the early stages of the
project.

The following policies are intended for the Specific Plan Area. 94 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Infrastructure
Goal I-1: Efficient, high-quality utility infrastructure and services meet the needs of residents and businesses.

10.1. Introduction
This chapter summarizes the utility systems needed to support new development as envisioned by the Specific Plan consistent with California Government Code section 65451(a)(2). More details regarding existing conditions, planned improvements, and recommended improvements for each utility system can be found in Appendix D.

10.2. Existing Policies, Plans, and Programs
2040 General Plan
The Stockton Blvd Plan is consistent with, and implements, the policies and actions of the General Plan including the following:
• EJ-5.5. Investment Prioritization. The City shall prioritize investments in infrastructure and interventions that address long-standing inequities, empower disadvantaged residents, and build neighborhood resilience.
• PFS-3.1 Provision of Adequate Utilities. The City shall continue to provide reliable water, wastewater, and stormwater drainage utility services.
• PFS-3.5 Water Treatment Capacity and Infrastructure. The City shall plan, secure funding for, and procure sufficient water treatment capacity and infrastructure to meet projected maximum daily water demands. Options to explore may include the following:
• Expansion or rehabilitation of existing treatment plant infrastructure; • Development and management of groundwater wells; and
• Collaboration on regional water supply solutions.
• PFS-3.6 Combined Sewer System Rehabilitation and Improvements. In keeping with its Combined Sewer System (CSS) Long Term Control Plan (LTCP), the City shall continue to rehabilitate and improve the CSS to decrease flooding, CSS outflows, and Combined System Overflows (CSOs).

Through these improvements and requirements for new development, the City shall also ensure that development in the CSS does not result in increased flooding, CSS outflows or CSOs or reduce the overall percentage of flow routed to the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. 10 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024 95

10.3. Infrastructure Policy
The following policy is intended for the Specific
Plan Area.

Policy I-1: Support Infrastructure Improvements.

Actively seek funding for the Stockton Blvd
Specific Plan Area to improve infrastructure
to protect and support existing and new
developments. Look for funding opportunities that
support co-benefits like affordable housing, public
transportation, pedestrian/bicycle use, and antidisplacement.

10.4. Infrastructure Needs and
Recommended Improvements
The below describes the infrastructure needed
to serve existing and proposed development
within the Specific Plan Area. As described in the
Infrastructure Report (Appendix D, Page 24) and
further below under “water system”, only four water
system improvements are necessary to facilitate
development along the corridor. Other upgrades
to infrastructure systems have been planned or
recommended in citywide documents but are not
necessary to support the proposed development
in the Specific Plan.

Wastewater and Storm Drainage System
The existing wastewater and storm drainage
system is shown on Figure 19. The Specific Plan
Area north of 14th Avenue is well served by the
existing CSS. The existing collection mains within
the Specific Plan Area is adequate to serve the
area and the anticipated increased sewer flows
with the redevelopment of the area with proper
mitigation and contributions to improve the greater
CSS system. Each development project will be
required to mitigate any impacts to the CSS.

The Specific Plan Area south of 14th Avenue
is also well served by the existing Sacramento
Area Sewer District (SASD) collection system.

The existing collection mains within the Specific
Plan Area is adequate to serve the area and
the anticipated increase sewer flows with the
redevelopment of the area with proper mitigation
and contributions to improve the greater SASD
system. Figure 19 shows the existing wastewater
and storm drainage system.

Water System
The Specific Plan Area is generally well served
by the existing water transmission and distribution
system. To determine if water needs for a project
can be met, a water supply test will need to be
performed on the existing system. Depending
on the location of the project, a water study may
also be required. The following improvements
are necessary to facilitate development along the
corridor:

1. Upsize 6-inch water mains to 8-inch minimum,
as determined on a project-by-project basis.

2. Extend the existing 8-inch dead end water
main located in Stockton Boulevard northerly of
Southwest Avenue northerly to the 8-inch water
main located in Stockton Boulevard.

3. Extend the existing 6-inch dead end water main
located in Young Street easterly to connect to
Improvement 2 (8-inch water main in Stockton
Boulevard).

4. Extend the existing 8-inch dead end water
main located in Stockton Boulevard at El
Paraiso Avenue northerly to the 12-inch water
main located in Lemon Hill Avenue to loop the
system.

If development is proposed on a parcel that
depends on one of the above improvements to
provide adequate water supply, the developer
is required to construct necessary infrastructure
improvements. Locations for the first required
improvement depend on the outcome of projectspecific studies. Required improvements 2-4 are shown on Figure 20, in context with the existing
water system.
96 HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
Electric System
The amount of available capacity is determined
by the location of the new development and the
available circuits that feed that area. Sacramento
Municipal Utility District (SMUD) requires the
customer to provide the load usage to forecast
the future facilities upgrade to serve the customer
proposed project.

The existing electric system is shown in Figure 21.

Exact locations for improvements to the electric
system depend on future development. Updates to
the electric system are the responsibility of SMUD
and may be paid for by future development.

Natural Gas System
The existing natural gas system is shown on
Figure 22. Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E)
indicates they are currently making improvements
to their system, which may negate the need for
future improvements when new development is
constructed. PG&E will service new development
and infrastructure as it is constructed. PG&E would
expand/upgrade the natural gas system to extend
service to new development on a case-by-case
basis with additional information on the actual
development square footage and maximum and
minimum gas loads.
