To: City of Sacramento, Elizabeth Boyd
From: Amy Lapin and Kate O’Beirne
Subject: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment Update;
EPS #192166
Date: September 2, 2022
Reader’s Note: This memorandum updates an initial
memorandum evaluating residential and commercial
gentrification in the Study Area, prepared in September 2021.
The analysis contained herein presents an update to the commercial gentrification analysis only, based on an expanded evaluation of commercial trends occurring citywide. More information related to the updated analysis and methodology can be found in the Commercial Gentrification Assessment section.
The City of Sacramento (City) initiated a planning process to prepare a specific plan and neighborhood action plan for the Stockton Boulevard corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. The process has encompassed robust stakeholder involvement and myriad technical analyses and will culminate in targeted strategies to guide development, prioritize funding, and facilitate investment in equitable social, financial, and health outcomes for existing residents and businesses.
As part of the planning process, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) prepared a comprehensive economic context report in February 2021 (February 2021 Report) that summarized existing socioeconomic and real estate conditions in the broader Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Study Area surrounding the corridor (Specific Plan Area). See Map 1 for the boundaries of the Specific Plan Area and Neighborhood Study Area.1

Building on historical and forecasted socioeconomic and real estate trends in the Neighborhood Study Area highlighted in the February 2021 Report and in response to concerns expressed by local stakeholders, the City requested EPS assess residential and commercial gentrification trends in the Neighborhood Study Area.
This memorandum summarizes the key findings and methodological approach used to conduct the gentrification assessment for the Specific Plan Area. Also included, in the appendices of this memorandum, are detailed methodological steps to conduct the gentrification assessment summarized in this document for other study areas in the City.
The findings from this assessment are intended to be used, in part, to establish actionable strategies to continue investing in the Neighborhood Study Area while minimizing gentrification-related displacement. These strategies will be vetted and prioritized with City staff and community stakeholders as part of the forthcoming Specific Plan Area neighborhood action plan.

Stockton Boulevard Plan Area and
Neighborhood Study Area Context
Plan Area Overview
Stockton Boulevard serves as an important five-lane corridor, connecting downtown to south Sacramento and adjacent neighborhoods, and accommodating one of Sacramento Regional Transit’s (RT) busiest bus routes. The Plan Area, which encompasses a 4.8-mile segment of Stockton Boulevard within the City, spans from Alhambra Boulevard to the north to the City’s southern boundary to the south.
The Plan Area is a predominantly commercial corridor comprising approximately 420 acres (424 parcels) in total, with about 280 acres (about 240 parcels) of commercially-zoned property. Table 1 provides a summary of land uses in both the Specific Plan Area and the broader Neighborhood Study Area, which is described in more detail in the next section.

Neighborhood Study Area Overview
The Neighborhood Study Area includes the Specific Plan Area and multiple diverse neighborhoods to the east and west of the corridor. The Neighborhood Study Area is approximately 7,400 total acres (nearly 5,800 acres excluding Right-of-Way), over 70 percent of which is contained in the City with the remaining acreage located in unincorporated Sacramento County (County).2 The Neighborhood Study Area is bounded by U.S. Highway 50 (Hwy 50) and the Sacramento RT Light Rail Gold Line to the north, Power Inn Road to the east, Morrison Creek to the south, and Highway 99 to the west.
Similar to the approach used in the February 2021 Report, the gentrification assessment delineates the Neighborhood Study Area into the following six Subareas (see Map 2):
• Elmhurst • Tahoe & Colonial
• Oak Park • Lemon Hill
• Fruitridge Pocket • South of Fruitridge
Neighborhood Study Area Socioeconomic Context
As of 2018, the Neighborhood Study Area contained over 86,000 residents (17 percent of City residents), almost 31,900 housing units (16 percent of the City’s housing supply), and 31,300 jobs (10 percent of total jobs in the City).
Socioeconomic Trends
Many of the Neighborhood Study Area neighborhoods have been historically occupied by lower-income households and residents comprising “Communities of Color,” including residents that identify as Black or African American, Vietnamese American, Latino, and Hispanic.3 Between 2010 and 2018, the percentage of the Neighborhood Study Area’s population that identified as a race or ethnicity considered a community of color remained constant but there was a notable shift to the east and south, with percentage declines in Elmhurst and Oak Park Subareas and percentage increases in Tahoe & Colonial, Lemon Hill, and South of Fruitridge Subareas. Similarly, in reviewing trends about residents who identify as Black or African American only, the percentage of Neighborhood Study Area population remained steady between 2010 and 2018 but the historically Black and African American community of Oak Park experienced significant declines for this population in contrast to large increases in the Fruitridge Pocket Subarea. 2 Note that the Study Area does not align with the northern and southern boundaries of the Plan Area because the Study Area uses Census Tract boundaries whereas the Plan Area uses parcel boundaries. See Map 2.
3 For this analysis, “Communities of Color” include populations that identify as Black or African American, American Indian, and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders, Hispanic or Latino, Some other Race, and Two or More Races in the ACS.

The February 2021 Report noted that, since 2010, the Neighborhood Study Area’s population has become wealthier and more educated, with Subareas in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area comprising a greater concentration of higher-income households and greater levels of higher educational attainment. Further, nearly all Subareas in the Neighborhood Study Area experienced declines in the percentage of residents living under the poverty level, with the most significant declines occurring in the Oak Park and Fruitridge Pocket Subareas.
Employment Trends
The Neighborhood Study Area is a strong employment node within the City with employment concentrated in Health Care, Educational Services, and Utilities industries.
The Neighborhood Study Area is home to significant existing and planned medical facilities in the Elmhurst Subarea, including the existing UC Davis Medical Center (plus a planned expansion); the Shriners Hospital for Children; and the planned Aggie Square mixed-use innovation and research project. The Neighborhood Study Area is also home to the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) Offices in the Lemon Hill Subarea, and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) headquarters also in the Elmhurst Subarea.
Real Estate and Cultural Trends
As Sacramento’s first suburb, the Oak Park neighborhood has undergone considerable change over the years, from a thriving, predominantly white working class community to a thriving, predominantly Black working class community, to a community with higher than average poverty, crime, and neglect.4 Redevelopment efforts in north Oak Park began in the 1970s but change was negligible until a surge of new commercial and residential revitalization projects commenced in the early 2000s.5 Thereafter, bolstered by continued job growth driven by the medical facilities and SMUD headquarters in the Oak Park and Elmhurst Subareas respectively, as well as consumer preferences for living in urban locations close to employment opportunities and services, several projects with a mix of residential and commercial uses were developed in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area. Adjacent to northern Oak Park, the high-end, market-rate residential project, The Gio, was constructed in the Elmhurst Subarea and has primarily attracted nearby medical facility employees.
Along Stockton Boulevard in the center of the Neighborhood Study Area, the northern portion of the South of Fruitridge Subarea and the Fruitridge Pocket Subarea are experiencing increased development activity, with the redevelopment of two retail shopping centers. The north end of the Fruitridge Shopping Center includes the addition of national chains Starbucks and a CVS Pharmacy and Stockton Plaza includes the 4 Hooks, Kris, 2017.

addition of national chains of Planet Fitness, Smart & Final, and Ross Dress for Less as well as smaller retail shops.
The southern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area contains the Little Saigon District, an Asian American and Pacific Islander district that spans 2 miles along Stockton Boulevard from Fruitridge to the southern City boundary. The Little Saigon District was officially designated as a business district in 2010, but its role as a cultural hub for the Vietnamese community emerged over 40 years ago.6 The district currently includes a concentration of Southeast Asian businesses in the Lemon Hill and South of Fruitridge Subareas.
With recent redevelopment efforts and significant forthcoming investment in the Neighborhood Study Area, including development projects (Aggie Square, UC Davis Medical Center Hospital expansion, several proposed and approved residential projects along the Boulevard) and public infrastructure projects (transportation improvements), and an objective of supporting inclusive economic development to improve prosperity for residents and businesses, it is imperative to understand the extent to which gentrification pressures exist in the Neighborhood Study Area.
Gentrification Overview
Although neighborhoods continually experience some degree of change, the concept of gentrification was first introduced in the 1960s, when an influx of “gentry,” a reference to middle-class residents, moved into a low-income neighborhood in London, England, displacing residents and changing the social character of the community.7 Since then, gentrification has been identified and studied in cities globally. In the United States, gentrification has tended to occur primarily in large coastal cities but has also appeared in smaller cities in neighborhoods with a high concentration of amenities near a central business district.8
In a review of relevant literature, however, there does not appear to be a universally accepted definition of gentrification. Many definitions focus on one or more of the impacts of gentrification but there is no consensus on which factors are the most salient. Some definitions focus on the displacement of existing residents, while other definitions highlight the change in a neighborhood’s character. Still other definitions reference 6 Mizes-Tan, Sarah, 2021. A Neighborhood IN Transition: Sacramento’s Little Saigon Grapples with Culture And The American Dream.

increased property values as the essential element signifying gentrification.9 Often, gentrification is described as a process of neighborhood renewal or revitalization without identifying specific impacts.
The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, adopted in August 2021, defines gentrification as “the process by which higher income households displace lower income residents of a neighborhood, changing the essential character of that neighborhood. Often, though not always, gentrification has a very clear racial component, as higher income white households replace lower income minority households.” The City’s definition emphasizes the process of change, noting the impacts consist of changes to the cultural and socioeconomic characteristics of the neighborhood.
Causes and Effects of Gentrification
As described above, gentrification is a complicated economic force that has been interpreted in myriad ways. The precise causes of gentrification have been widely debated but many academic studies have identified the primary causes as those that fall under the following three general, and sometimes overlapping, categories.10 • Private market forces, including commercial and residential investment; property value increases; conversion from rental to homeownership housing; the presence of amenities; rapid employment growth; a tight housing market. • Socioeconomic changes, including individual preferences for amenities and urban locales; an influx of higher-income households, college-educated residents, white residents, and non-family households.
• Public sector policies, including long-term cycles of public investment and disinvestment that cause property values to increase or decline; local and Federal financial incentives that encourage private investment; disposition of public-owned property; zoning and code enforcement.11
Causes that fall under the categories of “private market forces” and “socioeconomic changes” represent factors that have the potential to attract or deter wealthier residents from investing in a lower-income neighborhood. Causes that fall under the category of “public-sector policies” reflect the set of rules made by policymakers that make gentrification more or less likely to occur. There is evidence that the causes of 9 Chapple, Karen, 2009.

gentrification likely stem from some combination of these factors.12 Notably, many of the drivers of gentrification are also essential components for successful urban environments.
Gentrification can have positive or negative effects, depending on the circumstances of the neighborhood, city, or region, and on the constituency affected. Positive impacts may include increased commercial activity, improved economic opportunity, lower poverty and crime rates, and an increase in property values, which can benefit existing homeowners. The negative effects of gentrification can include increased rents and the loss of affordable residential and commercial space, which primarily impacts renters, the displacement of low-income households, and the transformation of a community’s cultural and social fabric. However, research on the impacts of gentrification has produced contradictory findings, resulting in challenges regarding clear-cut policy solutions.13
While displacement is often considered the primary negative consequence of gentrification, it may not be as causal as once thought. Several studies have suggested that displacement rates are no higher in gentrifying neighborhoods than they are elsewhere, supporting an approach of evaluating displacement separate from the leading drivers of gentrification (factors that are causing neighborhood change).14 15 16 A recent study distinguished between gentrification (the process of neighborhood change) and displacement (what happens to households in the neighborhood). The study highlighted the finding that low-income households move around frequently, regardless of whether the household is living in a gentrifying neighborhood, and regardless of their neighborhood location (in New York City), type of residence (market-rate or affordable housing), or demographic group (race). In short, the study concluded that lower-income households tend to be very residential unstable and can lose their housing or be forced to 12 Chapple, Karen, 2009.

move for any number of reasons.17 As another study noted, low-income household rates of mobility tend to be uniformly high across all types of neighborhoods.18 The precise cause of residential instability is difficult to discern because multiple factors often coalesce resulting in both intended and unintended household movement. These factors include:
• Individual and household characteristics, including changes in household income and benefits, employment status, family composition, availability of childcare, and physical and mental health.
• Housing unit characteristics, including damage or disrepair, housing code violations, and conflicts with landlords.
• Neighborhood-level dynamics, including blight, vacant buildings and lots, an increase in violent crime, and socioeconomic changes.
• Local, regional, or broader housing market dynamics, including market-rate and affordable housing supply, and other economic factors that influence residential consumer (renters and buyers) and property owner behaviors (e.g., mortgage interest rates; consumer demand). Exclusionary zoning, racial and ethnic segregation, and housing and mortgage discrimination also can influence housing instability.
• Other local, State, and Federal systems, including the availability of housing assistance and other social welfare support, the criminal justice system, and changes in the labor market (including employment supply and wages).19 20 The findings regarding uniform residential instability, regardless of whether a neighborhood is gentrifying, may be surprising, as they run counter to prevailing notions of gentrification’s most concerning impact. One reason why displacement has been inextricably linked to gentrification may be that “displacement is simply more salient in gentrifying areas. People may be less likely to notice the evictions and forced moves in other neighborhoods, because in non-gentrifying neighborhoods newly entering tenants 17 Dragan, Kacie; Ellen, Ingrid; and Glied, Sherry A., 2019.

more closely resemble those exiting.”21 Another reason may be because of data limitations; U.S. Census data is the primary source of longitudinal socioeconomic data, but it doesn’t provide information about why households move or the location of their next residence.
That said, it is evident that a combination of market, demographic, and public policy factors can increase demand and pricing for real estate in some neighborhoods, in particular those neighborhoods that are proximal to employment opportunities, amenities, and other high-value neighborhoods. As a result, some households, primarily renters, will be priced out of their neighborhood and seek housing in more affordable locales. When displacement does occur, this change in residence can have detrimental impacts on residents, impeding access to healthy food, health care, recreation, and social networks and causing stress and mental health issues.22 23 Furthermore, residents who move out of a neighborhood because of price increases may find themselves unable to return, even more so if demand for location increases but the housing supply, both market rate and affordable, does not commensurately increase.
Commercial Gentrification
The overwhelming majority of discourse on gentrification relates to its impacts on residents. To the extent that residents experience rising housing costs and are forced to move to another neighborhood and in-migrating residents have different tastes and preferences, commercial businesses, in particular small businesses that catered to the original residents, may also be vulnerable to gentrification pressures. Commercial tenants in gentrifying neighborhoods also may be subject to predatory leasing practices, harassment from landlords, rising rents, and competition from new businesses.24 And, with less access to capital and credit than their white counterparts, small businesses owned by people of color can be at higher risk of business closure or displacement from gentrification. The primary signals of commercial gentrification include declines in 21 Richardson, Jason, Bruce Mitchell, and Juan Franco.

minority-owned and non-chain, small establishments as well as a higher churn rate of infrequent (not patronized often) and discretionary (optional spending) establishments.25 Residential Gentrification Assessment
Drawing from the extensive body of research and well-documented gentrification evaluation methodologies developed by the UC Berkeley Urban Displacement Project and the University of Texas at Austin’s The Uprooted Project, EPS prepared a similar but simplified, quantitative-based methodology for the purpose of assessing current conditions in the Neighborhood Study Area and creating a framework the City can replicate and modify, to continue to evaluate the Neighborhood Study Area and other neighborhoods in the City.26 27
Residential Gentrification Methodological Approach
The methodology used in this analysis relies on socioeconomic data obtained from the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) to measure gentrification conditions and estimated low-income household displacement as of 2018 in the Neighborhood Study Area Subareas.28 The methodology is based on metrics that are theorized to contribute to gentrification and displacement conditions as described further below.
1. Household income. This criterion categorizes the income-level of the households in each Census Tract in the Study Area based on the notion that tracts with a concentration of existing low-income households are susceptible to gentrification and displacement whereas tracts with a concentration of moderate- to high-income households are susceptible to increasing exclusivity (exclusion of low-income households). A Census Tract's household income category was assigned based on whether the majority of households had an income that fell within income categories defined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Income Limits for Sacramento County (i.e., low-income, moderate-income, high-income). If the Census Tract did not contain a majority of households that fell within an income category, the tract was defined as containing a mixture of household 25 Chapple, Karen, UC Berkeley & Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, UC Los Angeles with Silvia R.

28 The U.S. Census ACS data for 2018 was the most current available data at the time this analysis was completed.
Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022
Page | 14
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
incomes and the income category was assigned based on the tract’s median household income (i.e., Mixed-Low; Mixed-Moderate; Mixed-High).
2. Change in low-income households. This criterion reflects the change in the number of low-income households in each Census Tract from 2010 to 2018. A decline in low-income households coupled with a Low-Income category assignment signals the potential for ongoing displacement as well as susceptibility to gentrification when coupled with other factors present in that tract. It should be noted that because of data limitations related to the specifics of the households being measured, it cannot be concluded with certainty if the declines represent displacement or other intended or unintended move.
3. Rental housing costs. This criterion measures the average annual change in median gross rent in the Census Tract or adjacent Census Tract, as high rent burdens (and significant changes in rental rates) are strongly associated with both gentrification and displacement. In combination with the low-income category status and other metrics, moderate to significant increases in rental housing costs in or near a Census Tract can signify early to advanced gentrification status.
4. The proportion of college-educated residents. This criterion measures the percentage of residents with an Associate’s degree or higher compared to the City as a whole in both 2010 and 2018. In combination with the household income category status and other metrics, a higher percentage of college-educated residents is strongly associated with susceptibility to gentrification and displacement of low-income households.
5. The proportion of White residents. This criterion measures the percentage of residents that identify as White compared to the City as a whole in both 2010 and 2018. In combination with the household income category status and other metrics, a higher percentage of White residents may be associated with susceptibility to gentrification and displacement of low-income households.
6. The proportion of Homeowner-residents. This criterion measures the percentage of residents that own their home compared to the City as a whole in both 2010 and 2018. In combination with the household income category status and other metrics, a higher percentage of homeowners may be associated with exclusivity of low-income households.
Using ACS data at the Census Tract geography level, Census Tracts in the Neighborhood Study Area were categorized, first by their predominant household income level, and then by the degree to which each Census Tract experienced leading indicators of gentrification between 2010 and 2018, as described above.
Similar to the Urban Displacement Project approach, the analysis defined household income profiles for each Census Tract as the basis for determining whether an area would be considered along the spectrum of either gentrification or exclusivity (i.e., higher-income and higher housing cost areas that likely provide limited housing opportunities for low-income households). Thus, each Census Tract was assigned a low-, moderate-, or Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022
Page | 15
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
high-income profile designation which reflects estimated vulnerability to gentrification and displacement pressures (i.e., predominantly low-income household Census Tracts are more vulnerable than moderate- to high-income Census Tracts). Once an income profile was defined, EPS defined criteria for seven different categories related to gentrification or exclusivity, which are described in more detail below. The detailed residential gentrification methodology and gentrification category data and calculations is provided in Appendix A.
Low-Income Census Tract Gentrification Categories
• Susceptible to Displacement. A Census Tract was considered Susceptible to Displacement if it met a single criterion: whether it was categorized as a low-income Census tract as of 2018. This categorization acknowledges the findings in recent studies that indicate that lower-income households are residentially unstable for a variety of reasons, including gentrification pressures. • Susceptible to Gentrification. Building on the previous “Susceptible to Displacement” category, a Census Tract was considered Susceptible to Gentrification if it met two criteria: 1) it was determined to be a low-income Census Tract as of 2018; and 2) it contained rental housing that demonstrated a moderate to significant increase in pricing between 2010 and 2018 or was located adjacent to a Census Tract that contained rental housing that experienced a moderate to significant increase in pricing. These factors identify Census Tracts that are not currently determined to be gentrifying but exhibiting changing conditions in the rental housing market or adjacent to a neighborhood (Census Tract) with changing conditions in the rental housing market, which can have a geographical ripple effect and increase risk for gentrification in the Census Tract.
• Early Gentrification. Building on the previous “Susceptible to Gentrification” category, a Census Tract was considered to be experiencing Early Gentrification if it met the following four criteria: 1) it was determined to be a low-income Census Tract as of 2018; 2) it contained rental housing that demonstrated a significant increase in pricing between 2010 and 2018; 3) there was a decline in low-income households between 2010 and 2018; and 4) the Census Tract exhibited one of three key demographic trends that have been demonstrated to be an indicator of gentrification.
These factors are aligned with a combination of factors, as described earlier in this memorandum (private market forces; demographic changes) that suggest an early stage of gentrification.
• Advanced Gentrification. A Census Tract was considered to be experiencing Advanced Gentrification if it met the same criteria as the criteria described under the “Early Gentrification” category but instead of meeting only one of three key demographic trends, the Census Tract met two of three key demographic trends, exhibiting conditions aligning with advanced gentrification.
Moderate- to High-Income Census Tract Exclusivity Categories • At Risk of Becoming Exclusive. A Census Tract was categorized as being At Risk of Becoming Exclusive if it met the following criteria: 1) it was determined to be a Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022
Page | 16
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
moderate-income Census Tract as of 2018; and, 2) the Census Tract exhibited at least one of three key demographic trends that demonstrate the area is trending towards potential exclusivity. Neighborhoods that are at risk of becoming exclusive pose a particular concern to adjacent lower-income neighborhoods, as proximity has been found to be a factor leading to gentrification in the adjacent low-income neighborhood.
• Early Exclusivity. A Census Tract was categorized as experiencing Early Exclusivity if it met the following three criteria: 1) it was determined to be a moderate- to high-income Census Tract as of 2018; 2) there was a decline in low-income households between 2010 and 2018; and 3) the Census Tract exhibited at least two of three key demographic trends that demonstrate the neighborhood has begun the process of becoming an exclusive, higher-income and higher-housing cost neighborhood. • Advanced Exclusivity. A Census Tract was categorized as experiencing Advanced Exclusivity if it met the following two criteria: 1) it was determined to be a high-income Census Tract as of 2018; and 3) the Census Tract exhibited at least two of three key demographic trends that demonstrate the neighborhood has become an exclusive, higher-income and higher-housing cost neighborhood.
Historical Decline of Low-Income Households (Potential for Ongoing Displacement) This analysis evaluates changes in the number of low-income households that occurred between 2010 and 2018 as a proxy for displacement. This analysis does not categorize the extent of the decline (i.e., minimal, moderate, or significant), primarily because the scope of the analysis was limited to the Neighborhood Study Area, which did not allow for conclusions within the context of a larger geography (i.e., City, County).
This analysis does not assume displacement is occurring along the continuum of gentrification and exclusivity designations. Rather, this analysis provides a metric for displacement as a separate overlay, reflecting evidence that suggests displacement of low-income households may be occurring in gentrifying and non-gentrifying neighborhoods alike.

• Approximately one-third of Neighborhood Study Area households live in areas that are Becoming Exclusive or have the Potential to Become Exclusive to low-income households. The northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area, comprising Elmhurst and North Oak Park and most of the Tahoe & Colonial Subarea are designated as moderate-income Census Tracts that are either Becoming Exclusive to low-income households (Elmhurst, the northern portion of the Oak Park Subarea, and the middle portion of the Tahoe & Colonial Subarea) or have the Potential to Become Exclusive to low-income households (northern Tahoe & Colonial Subarea).
This finding was not unexpected given various factors that have been identified as probable drivers of gentrification, including: close proximity to areas with abundant employment opportunities and amenities (midtown and downtown); close proximity to a high housing value neighborhood to the north of the Neighborhood Study Area (East Sacramento); a concentration of employment opportunities and amenities in these Census Tracts themselves (in Elmhurst and northern Oak Park) or adjacency to these employment opportunities and amenities (northern Tahoe & Colonial Subarea); and sustained public and private investment in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area (northern Oak Park and Elmhurst). • The remaining two-thirds of Neighborhood Study Area households live in areas that are categorized as Susceptible to Gentrification. Households living in the southern portions of the Oak Park and Tahoe & Colonial Subareas, and the entirety of the Fruitridge Pocket, Lemon Hill, and South of Fruitridge Subareas met conditions that align with the “Susceptible to Gentrification” designation. That is, these Subareas or portions of subareas were predominantly low-income and experienced moderate to significant rental housing pricing increases or were located adjacent to Census Tracts that experienced moderate to significant rental housing pricing increases. It is important to note that the distinction between this designation and a more prominent gentrification designation (Early Gentrification and Advanced Gentrification) means that residents and households did not meet any of the three demographic criteria that often accompany gentrification (i.e., these Census Tracts did not contain a higher percentage of college educated residents, white residents, or homeowner households relative to the City average).
• Between 2010 and 2018, the Neighborhood Study Area experienced an estimated net decline in low-income households, although data limitations and comparisons to Citywide trends lead to mixed conclusions. The Neighborhood Study Area experienced a net loss of about 420 low-income households between 2010 and 2018, including declines in Census Tracts that were defined as having both moderate-income and low-income profiles. Unsurprisingly, declines were estimated in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area (Elmhurst, and northern portion of Oak Park), where Census Tracts were identified as “Becoming Exclusive” to low-income
Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022
Page | 21
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
households.29 Net declines also were estimated in subareas throughout the Neighborhood Study Area with the exception of the Lemon Hill Subarea, which experienced a substantial increase in low-income households. Notably, although there was a substantial decline in low-income households in the northern portion of Oak Park, there was a counterbalancing increase in the southern portion of the Oak Park Subarea resulting in a negligible change overall in the entire Oak Park Subarea.
These findings are complicated by the estimated net decline in low-income households that occurred Citywide during the same period. Between 2010 and 2018, the City experienced a net decline of about 980 low-income households. Without more detailed data regarding these households, one theory is that some low-income households throughout the City, including in the Neighborhood Study Area, were displaced to locations outside of the City. Because some Census Tracts in the Neighborhood Study Area (and presumably in Census Tracts throughout the City) experienced an increase of low-income households, one could conclude that some low-income households were displaced from one area of the City (or from locations outside the City) to these tracts. An alternative theory could be that the households that were defined as low-income at the beginning of the period (2010) experienced an increase in income that exceeded the low-income threshold at the end of the period (2018). The converse could also be true for other households, both hypotheses could be true, or other theories yet to be identified. The limitation of not knowing exactly which households moved where complicates the ability to determine how much displacement occurred in the Neighborhood Study Area (or throughout the City).
It is also worth noting that while some Census Tracts in the Neighborhood Study Area experienced declines in low-income households and residents who identify as a race or ethnicity considered a “community of color” (signaling evidence of gentrification) there were other Census Tracts that experienced declines in low-income households and substantial increases of residents who identify as a race or ethnicity considered a “community of color” (the three most southern Census Tracts in the Tahoe & Colonial Subarea and the two Census Tracts to the east of Stockton Boulevard in the South of Fruitridge Subarea).
While it is difficult to definitively conclude how much displacement has occurred in the Neighborhood Study Area, to the extent that Census Tracts in the Neighborhood Study Area have experienced myriad conditions correlated with gentrification, it is probable that some low-income households, which may have moved because of rental housing pricing increases or other reason, may find themselves unable to return to 29 One Census Tract in northern Oak Park identified as Susceptible to Gentrification (low-income profile) also had a significant decline in low-income households, but experienced a decline in rental housing pricing, met none of the demographic gentrification criteria in 2010, and met one of the demographic gentrification criteria in 2018.

their neighborhood without an increase in affordable housing supply and policies and programs that promote the economic prosperity of existing residents.
Another form of displacement, cultural displacement, results when the preferences and behaviors of new residents supplant those of the existing residents. Although difficult to measure, the demographic gentrification criteria—including increases in college educated and white residents—can be used as a proxy. Between 2010 and 2018, the largest increases in the percentage of college educated residents were in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area (Elmhurst, north Oak Park, and north Tahoe & Colonial subareas), although it is important to note that the percentage of college-educated residents increased throughout the Neighborhood Study Area, with the exception of the Lemon Hill subarea, and throughout the entire City. Similarly, despite a decline in the percentage of residents that identify as white in the City overall between 2010 and 2018, the Neighborhood Study Area experienced increases in the percentage of white residents in the northern Subareas (Elmhurst and north Oak Park) with corresponding declines in the percentage of the population that identifies as a race or ethnicity considered a “community of color.” It can be surmised that based on this evaluation of socioeconomic data and known real estate and public investments, that the northern Census Tracts of the Neighborhood Study Area have experienced cultural displacement for at least the last decade.
Commercial Gentrification Assessment
Similar to the residential assessment methodology, EPS prepared a methodology to evaluate commercial gentrification in the Neighborhood Study Area. The methodological approach closely follows the approach developed by The Urban Displacement Project and measures gentrification based on metrics that are estimated to contribute to commercial gentrification. Per the reader’s note described in the beginning of this memorandum, it is important to note that the original assessment (described in the initial September 2021 memorandum) was limited to an evaluation of commercial establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area. This updated memorandum analyzes establishment data in the City, in addition to the Neighborhood Study Area, to provide a contextual understanding of commercial gentrification trends over two study periods (2000-2009 and 2010-2019) and to allow for specific findings occurring in the Neighborhood Study Area relative to broader (Citywide) trends.
Commercial Gentrification Methodological Approach
The initial step in evaluating commercial gentrification was to select only those Census Tracts that contained a commercial density greater than the Citywide median density, measured as the quantity of total establishments by Census Tract per Census Tract land area (acres). Commercial concentrations within Census Tracts were defined for all tracts in the City for the ending study period years of 2009 and 2019. Thus, commercial gentrification trends by Census Tract were evaluated further if the Census Tract met this threshold.
Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
Following the commercial density threshold analysis, the commercial gentrification methodological approach measured four criteria to assess commercial gentrification trends in the Neighborhood Study Area over two periods: 2000 to 2009; and 2010 to 2019. This approach relied on data from the National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) Database for 2019 and used geospatial analysis to develop a composite index of each of the four criteria, as described below:30
1. Minority-owned establishments. This criterion reflects the change in the share of minority-owned establishments in a Census Tract over the study periods. A decline in the percentage share of minority-owned establishments by Census Tract is assumed to indicate commercial gentrification.
2. Non-chain, small establishments. This criterion reflects the change in the share of non-chain, small establishments in a Census Tract over the study periods. A decline in the percentage share of non-chain, small establishments by Census Tract is assumed to indicate commercial gentrification.
3. Infrequently patronized establishments. This criterion reflects the churn rate at which infrequently patronized establishments move in and out of a Census Tract.31 An infrequent establishment is defined as an establishment that is not patronized often. Refer to Table B-10 for a list of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes that comprise the infrequently patronized establishments evaluated in this analysis. A higher churn rate is assumed to indicate commercial gentrification.
4. Discretionary establishments. This criterion reflects the churn rate at which discretionary, or optional spending, establishments move in and out of a Census Tract. Refer to Table B-11 for a list of NAICS codes that comprise the discretionary establishments evaluated in this analysis. A higher churn rate is assumed to indicate commercial gentrification.
The raw values were calculated for each criterion for the City’s Census Tracts and then indexed on a scale of 1-100 to align the values for ease of comparison and aggregation.
Following the Urban Displacement Project methodology, the rescaled index for the first two criteria—minority-owned establishments and non-chain, small establishments—were weighted with a factor of 3 to reflect the importance of these criteria in the overall composite index.32 The re-scaled index for the other two criteria—infrequently 30 The NETS database is a comprehensive time-series database, prepared annually by Walls & Associates, of over 63 million establishments throughout the United States from 1990 through 2019. This assessment evaluates changes in establishments in the Study Area from 2000 through 2019. 31 The churn rate is defined as number of establishments that cease operations move out of or cease, a Census Tract, divided by total number of establishments. 32 Chapple, Karen, UC Berkeley & Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, UC Los Angeles with Silvia R.

patronized establishment churn rates and discretionary establishment churn rates—were not weighted. The weighted and unweighted indices for each criterion were aggregated to determine an overall composite index for each Census Tract. The higher the composite index, the more a Census Tract is estimated to reflect commercial gentrification conditions.

By the end of the second study period (2010-2019), commercial density increased in the Study Area and Citywide, and commercial gentrification assessment results, relative to the 2009 findings, present several conclusions. As of 2019, only one Census Tract in the Study Area was identified as a commercially gentrifying tract (a different and adjacent Census Tract in the Oak Park Subarea). See Map 5. That is, the 2000-2009 Census Tracts that qualified as commercially gentrifying no longer met the Composite Index threshold in the latter study period, suggesting what appears to be improved conditions in the case of the Oak Park Subarea Census Tract or improved conditions relative to the Citywide threshold, in the case of the South of Fruitridge Subarea Census Tract. Related to this finding, the Citywide Gentrification Composite Index threshold increased over time, suggesting a greater amount of commercial gentrification is occurring in the City.
It is also important to note that, as of 2019, there are several Census Tracts that are not considered commercially concentrated tracts (i.e., commercial density and the number of establishments are low) but exhibit a high gentrification composite index, suggesting the need to monitor and intervene, as necessary, with strategies to mitigate further commercial gentrification.
In assessing the individual components of the composite index, there are several key conclusions regarding indicators of commercial gentrification in the Neighborhood Study Area. The data supporting these findings are provided in Appendix B:
• The percentage of minority-owned establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area has declined over time, despite an increase in total establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area. Between 2000 and 2019, the percentage of establishments in the City owned by minorities slowly declined from approximately 3.7 percent of total establishments down to 1.9 percent of total establishments (a loss of 20 minority-owned establishments), a proportional imbalance to the 92 percent increase in total establishments, an absolute increase of 17,122 establishments. Similarly the number of establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area increased over this same period from 1,480 to over 2,900, the percentage of minority-owned establishments declined from 4.0 percent in 2000 to 1.6 percent in 2019. In terms of absolute establishments, the Neighborhood Study Area contained 59 minority-owned establishments in 2000 and experienced a loss of 12 minority-owned establishments as of 2019, most of which were in the South of Fruitridge Subarea.

• Anecdotal evidence affirms that minority-owned, small businesses are prospering in Oak Park despite what the numeric data suggests. An article in the Sacramento Bee indicated that since 2020 minority-owned, small businesses are increasing, with 4 non-chain, small black-owned businesses that opened during the Pandemic and 2 more in the pipeline.34 This finding shows the limitation of the data analysis on a census tract level, which may obscure gentrification trends that are occurring at a smaller geography (i.e., block-level impacts). Another limitation of the numeric analysis is the self-assessment, whether business owners report if they identify as a minority or leave that section blank. The thriving businesses in Oak Park provides an example for one expanse of the Neighborhood Study Area at one point in time, additional outreach to stakeholders throughout the Neighborhood Study Area, especially stakeholders in the Lemon Hill Subarea, which is home to a portion of the Little Saigon district, is necessary to determine whether these findings reflect data limitations or the reality of commercial gentrification conditions, including the loss of minority-owned establishments and cultural changes in the community. • Retail establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area are predominantly characterized by non-chain, small establishments, with a higher proportion of total establishments than the proportion Citywide. Large retail chain establishments play a strong role in changing the culture of a commercial district.35 To its credit, as new residents and commercial businesses have grown in the Neighborhood Study Area, the proportional share of non-chain, small businesses have also increased, from 83.7 percent in 2000 to 90 percent of total establishments as of 2019. This increase was primarily driven by new small business growth in the northern portion of the Neighborhood Study Area (Elmhurst, Oak Park, and Tahoe & Colonial), although growth occurred throughout the Neighborhood Study Area. The City’s proportional share has been consistently lower than the Neighborhood Study Area, with non-chain, small establishments representing 78.8 percent of total establishments in 2000 increasing to 87 percent as of 2019. Although the Neighborhood Study Area has successfully maintained - and increased – a proportional share of non-chain, small establishments, this analysis does not evaluate the extent to which the types of non-chain, small businesses have changed over time, how these establishments might align with or diverge from the preferences of incumbent residents, and whether current establishments have changed the cultural dynamics of commercial districts in the Neighborhood Study Area. 34 Clift, Theresa. ‘A shift has occurred.’ How Oak Park’s diverse business community is thriving despite COVID.

• Although the total number of establishments increased, the proportional share of infrequently patronized and discretionary establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area declined between 2000 and 2010. In 2000, infrequently patronized establishments represented 7 percent of total establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area. While the absolute number increased (from 105 to 145), the proportional share declined to 6 percent by 2010. There was a similar trend with discretionary establishments. While the absolute number of discretionary establishments increased (from 169 to 230), the proportional share declined from 11 percent in 2000 to 9 percent by 2010. Over the 2-decade study periods, the Neighborhood Study Area experienced significant churn of infrequently patronized and discretionary establishments. The City followed a similar pattern with proportional declines in the infrequently and discretional establishments even with absolute increases and significant churn of both types of establishments over both time periods.
Analysis Limitations
The residential and commercial gentrification assessments documented in this memorandum are presented as an initial methodological approach and set of findings, subject to refinement, as new research and data become available, and supplemented by relevant qualitative data, including stakeholder input.
Residential Gentrification Assessment
As noted in the gentrification overview, defining and measuring gentrification and displacement is complicated. Many studies have used a variety of criteria and data sources to evaluate and arrive at gentrification and displacement conclusions. While other studies have employed rigorous, statistical methods to evaluate data and formulate conclusions, the objective of the approach used for this study was to develop a simple, generalized method of evaluating gentrification and displacement that could be replicated by the City in the future. This simplified approach and use of US Census data as the sole data source result in analytical limitations that warrant documentation.
While the use of US Census data improves the validity of the conclusions, it also confines the data analyzed to a specific timeframe that may not fully capture the process of neighborhood change. On one hand, the study period may be too short, obscuring the extent of low-income household loss following an influx of other socioeconomic factors that contribute to gentrification (i.e., increases in college-educated and white residents).
On another hand, the most recent Census data used in this analysis is from 2018, which will not reflect any recent socioeconomic changes. This becomes important in strong real estate market contexts (as has been the case for parts of the Neighborhood Study Area for the last several years), as above-average demand can accelerate neighborhood Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
change and potential displacement. Where local market conditions are more tepid, gentrification indicators may not have the same displacement impacts.36 Evaluating US Census data at the Census Tract level may obscure gentrification trends that are occurring at a smaller geography (i.e., block-level impacts). It is important to note the conclusions derived for Subareas or Census Tracts within the Subareas in this analysis may differ from the reality of existing residents at a smaller geography.
With respect to evaluating the extent of gentrification-related displacement, US Census data does not provide information about why households move or the location of their next residence. Evaluating the loss of low-income households alone is insufficient to formulating conclusions regarding displacement. Additional data, such as a stakeholder survey, could be used to further our understanding of gentrification-related displacement in the Neighborhood Study Area or other areas of the City.
Commercial Gentrification Assessment
As described previously, the commercial gentrification assessment relied on establishment data derived from the NETS database. The geographical information tied to each establishment in the database (i.e., addresses, latitude and longitude coordinates) required significant manual adjustment to clean up the data to be evaluated geospatially and aligned with Census Tract boundaries in the Neighborhood Study Area. While EPS made every effort to correct all geographical information, data errors may still exist.
The methodological approach employed in this assessment uses the context of composite indices for Census Tracts in a larger geography to make determinations regarding commercial gentrification in the Census Tracts of the Neighborhood Study Area. The analysis examines two study periods (2000-2009 and 2010-2019). Comparing the Study Area to the City provides a larger picture of the context of commercial establishments within the area and if Study Area establishments are following similar citywide trends or if the Study Area is experiencing more signs of gentrification than the rest of the City. For example, some of the Gentrification Composite Indices within the Study Area may have increased indicating signs of gentrification but fell below the 20th percentile of citywide trends in the latter study period and therefore would not be considered to be gentrifying.
These Census Tracts have been noted (in Table 4) as tracts the City should monitor for ongoing commercial gentrification.
A limitation of the commercial gentrification assessment is whether business owners report whether they identify as a minority. The composite index, and subsequent conclusions about commercial gentrification, rely heavily on business owners self-reporting as minorities, to the extent they do identify as a minority. For many establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area, the “minority owner” field was blank, 36 Chapple, Karen, Paul Waddell, Daniel Chatman, Miriam Zuk, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Paul Ong, Silvia R. Gonzalez, Chhandara Pech, and Karolina Gorska, 2017. Developing a New Methodology for Analyzing Potential Displacement.

leading us to conclude that the establishment was not minority-owned. Potentially, there are establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area that are indeed minority-owned but the business owner intentionally or unintentionally left this field blank.
Finally, as described previously, the Neighborhood Study Area is predominantly characterized by non-chain, small businesses, and, in fact, has experienced an increase in these establishments over time. However, further research is warranted to evaluate how non-chain, small businesses have changed over time, how these establishments align with or diverge from the preferences of incumbent residents, and whether changes in non-chain, small establishments have transformed the cultural dynamics of commercial districts in the Neighborhood Study Area.
Next Steps and Policy Considerations
Gentrification has the potential to contribute to prosperity and an enhanced quality of life for residents and businesses in the Study Area. However, investment in the Study Area (as well as other local, regional, and Federal economic conditions) can cause real estate prices to rise, displacing existing residents and places of business and potentially changing the community’s cultural history and social structure. Programmatic and public policy interventions are necessary to mitigate gentrification and pressures on the most vulnerable populations.
This section identifies ways in which the City can establish actionable strategies to continue investing in the Neighborhood Study Area while minimizing gentrification-related displacement.
• Conduct stakeholder outreach to supplement the quantitative gentrification and displacement assessment. Given the data limitations described in the previous section, quantitative data analysis should be supplemented by qualitative data to confirm or refine conclusions. The quantitative analysis may not fully capture gentrification and displacement pressures at the block level. Further, changes to the neighborhood’s cultural fabric may be challenging to discern through quantitative methods. To supplement the quantitative analyses presented in this memorandum, a stakeholder survey could be used to further understand demographic, cultural, and socioeconomic changes for the purpose of crafting policies or developing programs to mitigate gentrification and displacement. The City’s Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT), a collaboration between City departments and partner agencies, could engage with residents and business owners directly to confirm quantitative-based findings. For example, outreach could be conducted to determine whether the types of non-chain small businesses, although indicative of inclusive economic development efforts, are meeting the needs of existing or new residents of the area. • Supplement existing City strategies that mitigate gentrification and displacement with additional policies to stabilize the Neighborhood Study Area. The City and other non-City organizations currently have a set of policies and programs in place in the Study Area. There are myriad programs and initiatives, Memorandum: Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Residential and Commercial Gentrification Assessment September 2022
Page | 34
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
including the current Specific Plan effort, to improve neighborhood conditions relating to community engagement, culture, housing, inclusive economic development, transportation connections and safety, public health. In addition, the Neighborhood Study Area has and continues to experience an increase in proposed new residential and employment-generating uses. As considerable investment in the Neighborhood Study Area continues, there are several strategies that have been identified as effective in mitigating displacement in some communities, although these strategies should be vetted with City staff and community stakeholders to determine feasibility within the Study Area.37 38
• Facilitate production of both market-rate and affordable housing.
Housing production is an effective mitigating approach in the context of a strong housing market with high demand and limited supply. By increasing the supply of housing, particularly affordable housing, in strong markets, housing costs can be moderated and relieve displacement pressures.39 Policies that further streamline the entitlement process, and reduce development costs and other risks to developers, should be contemplated. This strategy requires the presence of strong housing market conditions to be effective, and a long timeframe and significant costs to implement. Existing City policies that fall under the category of facilitating housing production include the City’s accessory dwelling unit ordinance and the Mixed Income Housing ordinance and associated Housing Impact Fee which generates revenues to develop affordable workforce housing; fee reductions on affordable housing projects; and development application streamlining.
• Preserve affordable rental housing. In contrast with housing production strategies, strategies that preserve both subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing units do not require a strong housing market to be effective since they apply to existing units and can be implemented in the short-term. Preservation strategies found to be the most effective at mitigating gentrification and displacement include preserving naturally occurring affordable housing through rehabilitation programs that subsidize upgrades and other unit improvements in order to maintain steady rental rates. In addition, community land trusts (CLTs) or other policies that allow for collective ownership and tenant control of the land can not only mitigate displacement but provide opportunities for building wealth. 37 Chapple, Karen, and Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, 2021. White Paper on Anti-Displacement Strategy Effectiveness. https://www.urbandisplacement.org/sites/default/files/images/carb_anti-displacement_policy_white_paper_3.4.21_final_accessible.pdf [Accessed August 2021]. 38 Similar to research on the causes and effects of gentrification, research regarding the effectiveness of policies mitigating gentrification and displacement concluded a mix of findings and identified a need for further research to determine the factors or community characteristics that lead to desired outcomes. 39 Chapple, Karen, and Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, 2021.

Research on CLTs caution that this type of initiative tends to help moderate-income households, rather than the most vulnerable populations.40 • Strengthen and supplement neighborhood stabilization policies. The City implemented the Tenant Protection Program in 2019, which establishes limits on annual rent increases and provides protection to longer-term tenants from unwarranted lease terminations. In addition, the City and other agencies and organizations provide homeownership and tenant resources. The Community Benefit Agreement (CBA) associated with the proposed Aggie Square project in the Elmhurst Subarea identified other neighborhood stabilization policies including: providing down payment and other buying assistance to low-income first-time homebuyers; expanding homelessness prevention programs; and contributing towards home repair programs. The City should consider strengthening these programs through communication to the community on available resources. The City should consider implementing additional strategies such as a foreclosure assistance and tenant right to counsel program.
Neighborhood stabilization strategies were found to have a direct and immediate impact to mitigating gentrification and displacement in particular when multiple programs are implemented simultaneously.41
• Strategies to mitigate commercial gentrification and displacement will need to be tailored to specific challenges local establishments in the Neighborhood Study Area are facing. Based on specific challenges to Neighborhood Study Area establishments, various strategies to mitigate commercial displacement, as derived through the Small Business Anti-Displacement Toolkit, include:42
• Establishing a heritage tourism program to preserve a neighborhood’s cultural identity by amplifying its heritage and creating more foot traffic for local businesses.
• Establishing a legacy business preservation program to preserve long-term businesses by providing long-standing small businesses with grants, technical assistance, or other marketing and branding services.
• Implementing a cooperative initiative. Consumer cooperatives, such as grocery stores, coffee shops, and hardware stores, meet community needs and are controlled by members/customers. Worker cooperatives operate in most industries and are democratically controlled by the workers. Real estate investment cooperatives are similar to consumer co-ops in which groups of community residents pool resources to purchase community-owned real estate.
A commercial real estate investment co-op is for-profit and allows residents to collectively invest in real estate, securing space for small businesses and other 40 Ibid.

democratically controlled uses. These mechanisms can help residents build equity and wealth via shared ownership in commercial real estate. • Imposing commercial rent control to limit the amount of rent landlords can charge existing businesses for new or renewed leases, thereby preserving affordability and mitigating displacement because of rapid rental rate increases. • Implementing a local hiring ordinance and purchasing program to promote the utilization of local residents and suppliers on City-led or City-funded projects. • Establishing a neighborhood business incubator to help startup businesses grow and succeed by providing free or low-cost workspace, mentorship, expertise, access to investors, and in some cases, working capital. • Enacting a neighborhood-serving retail zone to sustain small, local businesses by limiting the size and type of stores in certain districts. • Enacting a formula business ordinance to allow a certain number of chain stores in a particular district in order to maintain a diversity of services, methods of operation, and other features.
These actions and policy considerations, coupled with additional strategies derived through various methods throughout the Project, will be vetted and prioritized with City staff and community stakeholders as part of the forthcoming Specific Plan Area neighborhood action plan.

Residential Gentrification Assessment
Methodology
To measure the different elements to displacement and gentrification the analysis measures 4 major criteria:
• Criteria A measures a Census Tract by their majority Income Category, • Criteria B measures Displacement,
• Criteria C measures Gentrification, and
• Criteria D measures Demographic drivers of Gentrification.
Income Category Criteria
The income category criterion, Criteria A, characterizes the overarching income category for each Census Tract in 2018. The Census Tracts are categorized by measuring the percentage of households by the income category using the 2018 California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) Income Limits in Sacramento County for a household size of 3, as well as examining the median household income for each Census Tract as shown in Table A-1. A Census Tract’s household income category is assigned based on whether there is a majority income category (the percentage of households in any of the income categories exceeds 50%). If there is no defined majority household income category (“NA”), the Census Tract is defined as containing a mixture of household incomes and the category is assigned based on median household income (i.e., Mixed-Low; Mixed-Moderate; Mixed-High).
Displacement Criteria
The displacement criterion combines the income category, Criteria A, with a measurement of the change in low-income households in each Census Tract between 2010 -2018, Criteria B, as shown in Table A-2.
A Census Tract that is measured as “Susceptible to Displacement” include the following criterion:
• A majority of low-income households, or a score of 1 for Criteria A. Moderate- and High-income Census Tracts score 2 or higher.
Appendix A: Residential Gentrification Assessment Methodology September 2022

A Census Tract that is experiencing “Potential Ongoing Displacement” include the following criteria:
• A decline in low-income households between 2010-2018 in Census Tracts that experienced increased and decreased total households over this period. For Census Tracts that experienced a decline in total households, the decline in low-income households exceeded the decline in total households. In Table A-2 a decline in low-income households equates a score of 1 for Criteria B. Census Tracts with no decline in low-income households score zero.
Gentrification Criteria
The gentrification criterion in Table A-3 combines the income category, Criteria A, with a measurement of the change in low-income households Criteria B, with a measurement of the average annual change in median gross rent from 2010-2018, Criteria C.
Criteria C measures the magnitude of the average annual percentage change in rent for the Census Tract as well as adjacent Census Tracts.
A Census Tract considered “Susceptible to Gentrification” is measured as the following:
• “Susceptible to Displacement” reflecting a majority of low-income households, or a score of 1 for Criteria A.
--AND--
• An average, annual change in median rent greater than 2 percent and below 5 percent in the Census Tract for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 1 or more. --OR--
• An average annual change in median rent of greater than 2 percent and below 4 percent in adjacent Census Tracts for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 1.
Census Tracts that are categorized as “Susceptible to Gentrification” are also susceptible to displacement but not necessarily experiencing displacement of low-income households.

A Census Tract experiencing “Early Gentrification” reflects the following criteria:
• A majority of low-income households, a score of 1 for Criteria A. --AND--
• A decline in low-income households from 2010-2018, a score of 1 for Criteria B. --AND--
• An average annual change in median rent of greater than 5 percent in the Census Tract for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 2.43
--OR--
• An average annual change in median rent greater than 5 percent in the Census Tract for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 1.
--PLUS--
• An average annual change in median rent of greater than 5 percent in adjacent Census Tracts for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 1.
--AND--
• Criteria D reflects a score of 1 in 2018 (Criteria D is detailed in the next section).
A Census Tract experiencing “Advanced Gentrification” reflects the following criteria:
• A majority of moderate-income households, a score of 2 or greater for Criteria A. --AND--
• A decline in low-income households from 2010-2018, a score of 1 for Criteria B. --AND--
• An average annual change in median rent of greater than 5 percent in the Census Tract for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 2.
--OR--
• An average annual change in median rent of greater than 5 percent in adjacent Census Tracts for Criteria C, reflecting a score of 1.
• Criteria D reflects a score of 2 in 2018 (Criteria D is detailed in the next section).
Demographic Gentrification Criteria
The Demographic Gentrification criteria, Criteria D, measure the status of change for 3 demographic categories including the following:
• College-Educated population percentage compared to the City of Sacramento as a whole in 2010 and 2018. A Census Tract with a greater percentage of college-education population than the City reflects a score of 1. 43 A 5 percent threshold related to the average, annual change in median rent is based on the City of Sacramento’s Tenant Protection Program: https://www.cityofsacramento.org/tpp. Note: when the criterion was established for this gentrification assessment methodology, the program indicated the annual rental rate increase cannot exceed 5 percent plus the change in the CPI as calculated by the California Department of Industrial Relations. As of July 2021, the threshold is now 9 percent, but the methodology retains the previous 5 percent threshold.

• White population percentage compared to the City of Sacramento as a whole in 2010 and 2018. A Census Tract with a greater percentage of the white population than the City reflects a score of 1.
• Homeowner Households as a percentage of total households compared to the City of Sacramento as a whole in 2010 and 2018. A Census Tract with a greater percentage of homeowner households than the City reflects a score of 1.
These criteria are summarized in Table A-4 for the Neighborhood Study Area.
A Census Tract categorized as “Stable Moderate to High Income (At Risk of Becoming Exclusive)” reflects the following criteria:
• A majority of moderate-income households, a score of 2 or greater for Criteria A. --AND--
• At least one demographic gentrification category is met in Criteria D for 2010 and 2018.
A Census Tract categorized as “Stable Moderate to High Income (Early Exclusivity)” reflects the following criteria:
• A majority of moderate- to high-income households, a score of 2 or greater for Criteria A.
--AND--
• A decline in low-income households from 2010-2018, a score of 1 for Criteria B. --AND--
• At least 2 demographic gentrification categories are met in Criteria D for 2010 and 2018.
A Census Tract categorized as “Stable Moderate to High Income (Advanced Exclusivity)” reflects the following criteria:
• A majority of high-income households, a score of 3 for Criteria A. --AND--
• At least 2 demographic gentrification categories are met in Criteria D for 2010 and 2018.

Commercial Gentrification Assessment
Methodology
Commercial Concentration
The commercial concentration was defined for the Neighborhood Study Area and the City for each Census Tract for the study period years of 2000 and 2010, , see Table B-1 and B-2. Commercial establishment density is the quantity of total establishments by Census Tract/Census Tract land area. This exercise is completed to compare the commercial establishment density of the Neighborhood Study Area’s Census Tracts with the City’s Census Tracts and removes any City Census Tracts that fall below the citywide median commercial concentration density for each period
Commercial Gentrification Composite Index
To measure commercial gentrification, the Commercial Gentrification Index was established by developing aggregate scores for 4 indexed metrics, Criteria A, B, C, and D by Census Tract.
Tables B-2 through B-6 summarize the index, weight, and summarize Criteria A-D from 2000-2009 and 2010-2019, respectively. To index the values, the raw values are indexed on a scale of 0-100 using the minimum and maximum for each criterion within the City’s Census Tracts. The values for Criteria A and B are weighted and then the index scores for all four criteria are aggregated into the composite score.
Minority-Owned Establishments
Criteria A of the Gentrification Assessment, as shown in Tables B-7 and B-8, reflects the share difference of minority-owned establishment in the Neighborhood Study Area and the City. The total number of minority-owned establishments were divided by the total number of establishments from 2000 to 2019. The index reflects the change during two study periods from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019 with the City’s Census Tracts. A loss of minority-owned businesses indicates commercial gentrification. This index was weighted three times higher given the salience of minority-owned businesses within the theory of commercial gentrification.
Criteria A = (Current total M-O est./Current total est.) - (Start of study period total M-O est./Start of study period total est.)
Non-Chain Small Business Establishments
Criteria B of the Gentrification Assessment, as shown in Tables B-9 and B-10, reflects the share difference of Non-chain small businesses in the Neighborhood Study Area and the City. Small biz defined as and establishment with fewer than 20 employees and less Appendix B: Commercial Gentrification Assessment Methodology September 2022
Page | B-2
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
than 5 total establishments within the parent company. The total number of non-chain small business establishments were divided by the total number of establishments from 2000 to 2019. The index reflects the change during two study periods from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. A loss of non-chain small business establishments indicates commercial gentrification. This index was also weighted three times higher given the importance of non-chain small businesses within the theory of commercial gentrification.
Current total NC-SB est./Current total est.) -
(Start of study period total NC-SB est./Start of study period total est.) Infrequent Establishment Churn
Criteria C of the Gentrification Risk Assessment, as shown in Tables B-11 through B-14, reflect the infrequent (not shopped at often) establishment churn in the Neighborhood Study Area. This index measures the rate at which infrequently patronized businesses move into and out of the census tract from 2000 to 2019. The index reflects the churn rate during two study periods from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. Higher churn rate denotes more commercial gentrification. Infrequent establishments by NAICS are defined in Table B-19.
(Establishment Deaths + Out-Migration)/
(Total Est. at start of study period])
Discretionary Establishment Churn
Criteria D of the Gentrification Assessment, as shown in Tables B-15 through B-18, reflect the discretionary (optional spending for consumers) establishment churn, the rate at which discretionary businesses move into and out of the census tract. This index measures the rate at which discretionary patronized businesses move into and out of the census tract from 2000 to 2019. The index reflects the churn rate during two study periods from 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. Higher churn rate denotes more commercial gentrification. Discretionary establishments by NAICS are defined in Table B-20.

Source: 2019 National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) Database; Commercial Gentrification Analysis: Methodology, Urban Displacement Project; EPS. [1] Commercial concentration is the number of establishements per acre within the Census Tract. See Table B-2. [2] The assumptions include Census Tracts within the City of Sacramento that meet the commercial concentration threshold, which is more than or equal to the citywide median. If the density threshold was not met, no composite index value was calculated.

[1] Commercial concentration is the number of establishements per acre within the Census Tract. See Table B-2. [2] The assumptions include Census Tracts within the City of Sacramento that meet the commercial concentration threshold, which is more than or equal to the citywide median. If the density threshold was not met, no composite index value was calculated.

INTRODUCTION
This report is being prepared to support the Stockton Boulevard Plan, a specific plan and strategic neighborhood action plan (SNAP) aimed at transforming Stockton Blvd into a thriving corridor that expands opportunities for, and supports the cultures of, existing residents and small businesses while accommodating growth.
The Stockton Boulevard Plan (SBP) area encompasses approximately 458 acres of commercially zoned property along a 4.8 mile stretch of Stockton Boulevard from Alhambra Boulevard to the southern City boundary. The preliminary Stockton Boulevard SNAP Area generally includes neighborhoods within one mile of the Stockton Boulevard corridor, south of U.S. Highway 50, east of U.S. Highway 99, and north of 65th Avenue, and the City boundary. This Existing Utility Infrastructure report for the Stockton Boulevard Plan is limited to the immediate area of the corridor.
For purpose of planning the SBP area has been divided into five districts along the corridor. On the northerly end of the SBP is the Entry to Midtown (EM) district. Next along the corridor is the Medical Center Campus (MCC) district followed by the Traditional Neighborhoods Commercial Storefronts (TNCS) district, then the Community Commercial Center (CCC) district, and lastly the Little Saigon (LS) district. There are six Pipeline Projects located within the SBP area that currently have submitted a development entitlement application with the City Planning Department. There are an additional 33 proposed Opportunity Sites that have been identified as being likely to redevelop. Each of these total 39 sites are identified with a specific identification number by district.
The redevelopment of the existing land uses for the Pipeline Projects and Opportunity Sites is anticipated to bring an additional 4,077 residential dwelling units (du) ranging in density between 18.5 to 95 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) together with 372,115 square feet (sf) of commercial uses to the SBP area. A complete land use and development assumption summary together with a comparison of the existing and planned potential land uses contained in Appendix A.
This Existing Utility Infrastructure report is the first step in understanding any known infrastructure deficiencies in the plan area. This analysis is a preliminary engineering, planning level effort that will ultimately aid the City and developers in creating a development fee structure to share the costs of improvements, attracting development funding assistance, and provide potential developers with information to evaluate their probable infrastructure costs.
The area is served by the City of Sacramento for sanitary sewer and storm drainage together with the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) for sanitary sewer. The northerly portion of the SBP area north of 14th Avenue is served by the City’s Combined Sewer System (CSS) for both sanitary sewer and stormwater collection. This legacy system generally works well except during heavy rainfall storm events. The southerly portion of the SBP area south of 14th Avenue is served by the City for storm drainage and the SASD for sanitary sewer.
The area is also served by the City of Sacramento for water supply and distribution. The City has sufficient water supply for development consistent with the growth assumptions envisioned by the City’s General Plan. While the existing water system in the Stockton Boulevard Plan is generally adequate, strategic upgrades may be required to serve proposed growth. Future development will most likely be required to upgrade the existing water main grid to provide adequate water for both domestic and fire suppression needs.
The area is served by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) for electrical, PG&E for natural gas, and a combination of AT&T & Comcast for telecommunications services. The majority of the SBP area is served with overhead utility lines. These lines are expected to remain in place.

WASTEWATER & STORM DRAINAGE
General Information
The Stockton Boulevard Plan (SBP) is served by the Combined Sewer System (CSS) in the northerly half of the area northerly of 14th Avenue. The southerly half of the SBP area is served by collection systems conveying storm drainage and sanitary sewer flows separately.
The CSS is the legacy storm drain and sanitary sewer system that conveys both stormwater and sanitary sewer flows. It encompasses approximately 7,500 acres of the Downtown, East Sacramento, and Land Park areas. Another 3,700 acres including the River Park, California State University, and eastern Sacramento areas utilize the system for sanitary sewer only. The City discontinued constructing combined sewer and storm systems in 1946, although continued connections to the existing CSS were allowed.
There are several small drainage basins in the separated southerly half of the SBP area including Basins 5, 8, 19, 96, 147, G258, and G263. These basins generally discharge through pumped system directly or indirectly into Morrison Creek which flows east to west through the SBP area just south of 47th Avenue.
Morrison Creek is an urbanized drainage channel that is an important tributary of the Sacramento River and part of the Sacramento flood control system. Lake House Acres Creek is a tributary to Morrison Creek that is located at the southerly boundary of the City Limits and the SBP boundary. To the east of Stockton Boulevard the creek is an urbanized channel while to the west it is a piped drainage system in a large 120” diameter pipeline.
The southerly half of the SBP area is served by the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD). The SASD provides service to 1.2 million people in the Sacramento region including the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County, the cities of Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Elk Grove; portions of the cities of Folsom and Sacramento, and the communities of Courtland, and Walnut Grove.
The implementation of the sewer and storm drainage improvements necessary to serve a specific project site is typically the responsibility of future developers. City policy is to require the developer to construct any infrastructure necessary to support the project in question without compromising service to the project area. A project specific sanitary sewer and storm drainage studies will be required for any future development. If the existing sanitary sewer and/or storm drainage systems are sufficient to meet the project needs and are not deficient and meet current City standards, no infrastructure upgrades are necessary. If the existing infrastructure is found to be insufficient or deficient or does not meet current City standards for the project’s needs, the developer is required to construct necessary infrastructure improvements.
Combined Sewer System
The CSS is a collection system of pipes that convey both sanitary sewage and stormwater in a single pipeline. The piping system is greatly oversized for the sanitary sewer component, but inadequate for the City’s current storm drainage design standard of 10-year capacity.
In 2014, the Combined Sewer System Improvement Plan (CSSIP) Update Report was completed which identified several storage improvement projects that would help alleviate outflows and flooding in the CSS area during a 10-year storm event and prevent structure flooding (as well as outflows) during the 100-year event. Outflows happen when surcharges to the CSS flow onto the streets. Outflows can occur during a heavy rain event, such as a 10-year storm event, when the collection system has reached maximum capacity.

On August 14, 2020, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region (Regional Board) issued the City’s Waste Discharge Requirements for the City’s Combined Wastewater Collection and Treatment System (Order R5-2020-0039) (Order). Among other items, the Order requires the City to update its Long-Term Control Program (LTCP) and continue implementation of the updated CSSIP. The LTCP has identified the most effective storage improvement projects form the CSSIP. The LTCP uses the adaptive management strategy and starts with implementation of the top 20 percent of prioritized projects form the CSSIP.
The Order also states that the City shall continue to implement the LTCP to manage the flow capacity of the CSS to minimize Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and CSS outflows as new development and redevelopment projects are implemented throughout the CSS service area that have the potential to increase combined sewer system flows. The City shall implement measures to the maximum extent practicable to ensure that new flows from growth within the CSS service area do not result in an increase in CSOs or CSS outflows or reduce the overall percentage of flow routed to the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. CSOs are untreated and treated flows that discharge to the Sacramento River via Sump 2, Sump 1, Combined Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWTP), or Pioneer Reservoir Treatment Plant (Pioneer).
Currently all flows into the CSS are conveyed westerly to two pumping stations (Sump 2 and 1/1A) located on the Sacramento River. For secondary treatment and disinfection of the flow, the City has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWTP) to convey 60 million gallons per day (mgd). This treatment capacity is currently sufficient for dry weather flows and small storm events.
During heavy storms where the capacity is exceeded, the CWTP at South Land Park Drive and 35th Avenue is utilized to provide primary treatment of an additional 130 mgd. Excess flows from SRWTP and CWTP are diverted to Pioneer which can provide primary treatment of 250 mgd and flow capacity of up to 500 mgd depending on the river stage. When all three treatment facilities (SRWTP, CWTP, and Pioneer) have exceeded their treatment capacity of 440 mgd, excess flows may be directly discharged into the Sacramento River without treatment via Sump 2. Sump 1 also has the ability to discharge flows directly to the river.
The City adopted the Combined Sewer Development Fee (City Code 13.08.490) which is an impact mitigation fee that requires mitigation of any increase in wastewater flows over the present level. If a proposed development project is determined to have an impact on the CSS, an acceptable mitigation plan is required by the City. The current CSS Development Fee (effective 7/1/2021) is $151.36 per Equivalent Single-Family Dwelling (ESD) for up to 25 ESD and $3,777.20 per ESD for more than 25 ESDs. The payment of the fees mitigates the project’s sewer impacts.
To address the stormwater runoff impacts from a proposed Project within the CSS, the City will consider the following approaches:
1. Pay the proposed CSS drainage impact fee. Contact DOU for current fees. An agreement establishing Project fee shall be required prior to adoption of the impact fee,
2. Directly mitigate the impacts utilizing low impact development BMPs per section 9.4.12,
3. Directly mitigate the impacts via public and/or private storage and other measures in accordance with Section 11 and the Onsite Design Manual. The setup of hydraulic models shall be in accordance with the CSS model user guide. Prior to hydraulic modeling, the Designer shall schedule a meeting with the DOU to review the Project, the modeling parameters, and discuss possible drainage solutions,

4. At the City’s discretion, the Project can share in a City sponsored Project that improves the system in the area that can be upsized to incorporate mitigation of the Project. A separate cost sharing agreement shall be executed for this option.
Sacramento Area Sewer District
The Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) levies a Sewer Impact Fee for any parcel connecting to the sewer system for the first time. Incremental sewer impact fees may also be due when a parcel size or use changes. These fees ensure that the capital costs invested by the public utilities in building the sewer system infrastructure are fairly distributed among and shared by all users.
The SBP area south of 14th Avenue is served by SASD for sanitary sewer. This portion of the SASD system is designated as a part of the Relief Area. The SASD Sewer Impact Fee for the Relief Area currently (effective 7/1/2021) is calculated by multiplying the project parcel net acreage by $4,664 for Single-Family Residential, Multi-Family Residential, and Commercial Users.
Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District
The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) levies a Facility Impact Fee associated with the sanitary sewer system. This fee pays for planning, designing, construction, and other related costs for wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities for system expansion.
The Regional San Facility Impact Fee currently (effective 7/1/2019) is calculated by multiplying the ESDs generated by the development by the fee of $3,602 per ESD for infill single-family projects and $2,701 per unit for multi-family projects. It is possible in certain cases to receive a credit of 1 ESD per parcel as credit for previously paid fees. Sacramento County (County) policy determines when the credit is allowed. The County has published the method of calculating the ESDs for the different types of development. Additional information is available online at http://www.regionalsan.com.
Existing Conditions
Combined Sewer System
In the SBP area northerly of US Highway 50, the CSS collection system generally flows westerly towards downtown with a large 66” pipeline located in Alhambra Boulevard that flows to the south out of the SBP area. Caltrans owns and operates a storm drainage collection system in the area of the US Highway 50 interchange with a 48-inch storm drainage pipeline along the south edge of the highway.
South of US Highway 50, the CSS generally collects the drainage and sewer flows in smaller 8-inch to 12-inch pipelines located in the street which then increase in size to larger collector pipelines 15-inch to as large as 30-inch and connect to larger diameter pipelines that generally convey the combined flows to the west out of the SBP area. There is a 63-inch pipeline at Sherman Way, a 45-inch and a 66-inch pipelines at Broadway, and a 48-inch pipeline at 13th Avenue.
Combined Sewer System Improvement Plan (CSSIP)
The current CSSIP identifies three projects within or directly adjacent to the SBP area. These recommended projects include:
1. WA2-3: 4th Avenue Park Storage
City of Sacramento
Stockton Boulevard Plan – Utility Infrastructure
April 2022 – Final 7
226220-0000114.00
2. WA4-3: P Street Linear Storage
3. WA4-4: Casita Way Linear Storage
The City will be working on a future LTCP that may create projects in addition to the three listed above.
Separated Storm Drainage System
The SBP area to the south of 14th Avenue to 20th Avenue is served by a separated storm drain system that flow to the CSS. There are several small drainage basins in the separated southerly half of the SBP area including Basins 5, 8, 19, 96, 147, G258, and G263. The area between Fruitridge Road and 47th Avenue is collected and discharge into the County of Sacramento system to the west. Sump 19 gravity flows to Sump 96, but pumps to the CSS during large storm events.
The collection pipelines in the separated storm drainage system generally range in size from 8-inch to 15- inch with larger collector pipelines ranging in size from 18-inch to 36-inch. The pipelines generally follow the roadway alignment sometimes on both side of the road. Development within the SBP area will require the upsizing of the smaller drain lines and inlet leads to a minimum of 12-inch to 15- inch diameter and also replace drainage inlets if they do not meet the current City standards.
Separated Sanitary Sewer System
In the SBP area to the south of 14th Avenue is served by a separated sanitary sewer system served by the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD). The collection pipelines in the separated sanitary sewer system generally range in size from 6-inch to 12-inch with larger trunk pipelines ranging in size from 15-inch to 42-inch. The pipelines generally follow the roadway alignment sometimes on both side of the road.
There is a 24-inch sewer pipeline located in Fruitridge Road. The collection system has numerous locations where the pipelines enter and leave the SBP boundary along the alignment of Stockton Boulevard.
Stormwater Quality
The City adopted the Stormwater Quality Design Manual (SQDM) for the Sacramento Region (July 2018), a joint effort of the communities in the greater Sacramento region. This comprehensive manual outlines a consistent set of stormwater quality management design standards for many new and redevelopment and public improvement projects in the urbanized parts of Sacramento County. It provides planning and design tools for use by planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and environmental professionals. The manual outlines planning tools and requirements to reduce urban runoff pollution to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) from new development and redevelopment projects.
The SQDM uses locally-adapted information for design and selection of five categories of stormwater quality control measures: source control, hydromodification control, low impact development control, treatment control, and full capture trash control. Per the requirements, multi-family and commercial projects exceeding 1 acre or more of impervious surfaces are required to implement the first four categories, while projects less than one acre are only required to implement source control. Full capture trash control is required for all multi-family residential projects with a density greater than 10 dwelling units per acre and commercial projects were the primary activities involve the sale or transfer of goods or services to consumers.
The southerly portion of the SBP area is subject to the requirements of the SQDM only for those areas located with a separated storm drainage system outside of the CSS. All projects that result in creating or redeveloping 1 acre or more of impervious surface areas will be required to comply with the stormwater City of Sacramento
Stockton Boulevard Plan – Utility Infrastructure
April 2022 – Final 8
226220-0000114.00
quality measures outlined in the SQMD. These measures may include treatment measures such as bioretention planters, bioswales, stormwater treatment vaults, green roofs, etc. – either used as a single treatment or as a combination of several measures. Developers are urged to discuss their project with the Stormwater Quality Section of the City DOU while in the planning stages so that proper permanent post-construction stormwater quality treatment measures can be effectively implemented into the project. A small portion of the southerly area of the SBP will be required to comply with applicable Hydromodification Management Plan (HMP) requirements. This includes the SBP areas within drainage basins 147 and G258.
The northerly portion of the SBP area is located within the CSS, which is under separate permit regulations for stormwater discharges. The stormwater flows from the CSS are treated at the SRWTP, CWTP, and the Pioneer treatment facilities. Therefore, projects within the CSS are not required to have additional stormwater quality control measures.
Proposed Conditions
Anticipated future development in the SBP area is expected to increase sanitary sewer flows due to increases in development density for residential and non-residential uses. The Pipeline Projects and Opportunity Sites in this SBP study are estimated to contain a total of 4,077 new multi-family residential units and approximately 372,115 square feet of new non-residential development. This will affect the existing sewer systems.
Since the majority of the sites are previously developed with highly impervious surfaces (i.e. roof tops, larking lots, sidewalks, etc.), the stormwater runoff flows from the projects are not anticipate to increase with the new development. However, each redevelopment site will need to be evaluated on an individual basis to ensure there is no increase in the stormwater runoff. Any increase will need to be mitigated as described in the General Information section above.
The City of Sacramento Design and Procedures Manual contains standards for sewer generation rates (Section 9 – Sanitary Sewer Design Standards dated 7/24/18), average daily flow rates, and factors for residential and non-residential uses. The standard for sewer generation is 310 gallons per day (gpd) per ESD.
A factor of 0.75 Equivalent Single Family Dwelling Unit (ESD) per residential unit was selected based on the multi-family nature of the residential. This factor when multiplied by 310 gallons per day (gpd) per ESD yields a sewer generation rate of 232.5 gpd per residential unit. For the non-residential uses, a factor of 0.5 ESDs per 1,000 gross square feet is used as an average for anticipated uses.
Given the anticipated development of 4,077 new multi-family dwellings units and 372,115 square feet of new non-residential development in the SBP area and using the ESD factors stated above, this equates to 3,244 ESDs (= 0.75 x 4,077 units + 0.5/1000 x 372,1155 s.f.). The anticipated increase in the residential Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) based on 310 gpd per ESD is 1.01 mgd (= 3,244 ESDs x 310 gpd/ESD / 1,000,000 gals per million).
The majority of Pipeline Projects and Opportunity Sites are previously developed parcels with highly impervious structures and/or pavements. However, several of the parcels are now vacant. Current DOU policy requires developers to mitigate increased impervious surface areas from project sites. Credits for existing imperviousness may be given if it is located on the property within three years or less.
Implementation of storm drainage improvements necessary to serve a specific project site is typically the responsibility of future developers. City policy requires the developer to construct any infrastructure necessary to support the project in question. A project specific storm drainage study is required for any future development. If the existing storm drainage system is sufficient to meet the project needs and are not deficient and meet current City standards, no infrastructure upgrades are necessary. If the existing City of Sacramento
Stockton Boulevard Plan – Utility Infrastructure
April 2022 – Final 9
226220-0000114.00
infrastructure is found to be insufficient for the project’s needs or deficient or does not meet current City standards, the developer is required to construct necessary infrastructure improvements.
Recommended System Improvements:
The anticipated development is spread out along the approximately 4.8 mile Stockton Boulevard corridor.
The majority of the anticipated development is within the southerly area of the SBP area in the Community Commercial Center and Little Saigon districts.
The SBP area north of 14th Avenue is well served by the existing CSS collection system. The existing collection mains within the SBP 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 CSS system. Each development project will be required to mitigate any impacts to the CSS. There are three CSSIP projects that have currently been identified within or directly adjacent to the SBP area. These recommended projects include:
1. WA2-3: 4th Avenue Park Storage
2. WA4-3: P Street Linear Storage
3. WA4-4: Casita Way Linear Storage
The City will be working on a future LTCP that may create projects in addition to the three listed above.
The SBP area south of 14th Avenue is also well served by the existing SASD collection system. The existing collection mains within the SBP 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.

WATER SUPPLY
General Information
The City provides domestic water to the SBP area. The City utilizes both surface water and groundwater to meet the water demands. The City treats surface water diverted from the Sacramento River and American River through the Sacramento River Water Treatment Plant (SRWTP) and the E.A. Fairbairn Water Treatment Plant (FWTP), respectively. Additionally, the City extracts groundwater from both the North Sacramento and Central Sacramento basins. The current reliable water production capacity is approximately 280 mgd.
Sacramento River Water Treatment Plant: The SRWTP began operation in 1924 with an initial capacity of 32 mgd and treats water diverted from the Sacramento River approximately one-half mile downstream of the confluence of the American River. A new water intake structure, located approximately 700 feet downstream of the old intake structure, was completed in 2003. Other expansions and modifications completed by the City since the 1920s increased the treatment plant design capacity to 160 mgd. The most recent project was completed in 2016, which replaced many of the older facilities at the SRWTP in order maintain the 160 mgd capacity into the foreseeable future.
E.A. Fairbairn Water Treatment Plant: The FWTP is located adjacent the American River approximately seven miles upstream with the Sacramento River. The FWTP began operation in 1964 and has a current diversion limit of 200 mgd following an expansion completed in 2005. Currently, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has permitted a capacity of 160 mgd. However, the amount of water diverted is further limited by the so-called Hodge Flow Criteria which restricts diversions from the FWTP under certain low river flow conditions. Hodge conditions have historically occurred about 50% of the time, and can be present in any month of the year. During the time of peak demand, most often in June, July, or August, the Hodge Flow Criteria could limit the diversion rate at the FWTP to 100 mgd. As a result of this constraint, sufficient pipe capacity to move the 160 mgd into the distribution system has not been constructed. The current facility is physically constrained to approximately 130 mgd, when Hodge is not triggered.
Groundwater Wells: The City currently operates 27 municipal groundwater supply wells; 25 wells are located in the northern portion of the City, north of the American River, while the remaining two are located south of the American River. The total pumping capacity of the City’s municipal supply wells is approximately 20 mgd, assuming 90% of the production capacity is available. The City has recently completed a well rehabilitation program that improved capacity at a number of existing wells. Overall, the groundwater facilities operated by the City are known to be at or near the end of useful life, and the City is currently preparing a groundwater master plan to help determine the direction and anticipated future capacity of the collective groundwater facilities. The City is nearing completion on two new wells in the southern portion of the system at Shasta Park. The projects are anticipated to supply potable water by 2019-2020. The City anticipates the groundwater pumping capacity to increase to approximately 25 mgd after the activation of the rehabilitated wells and completion of the new groundwater wells.
Distributed Storage: The City maintains eleven enclosed distributed water storage reservoirs together with a total capacity of 45 million gallons (MG). This water is used to meet the water demand for fire flows, emergencies, and peak hours where demands exceed the maximum day supply rates. A new 4 MG distribution storage tank at the Shasta Park Site in the southern portion of the City is anticipated to be completed in 2019-2020, which will increase the total storage to 49 MG. In addition to the reservoirs, the SRWTP and FWTP together maintain a combined on-site storage of over 44 MG.

The City operates pumping facilities throughout the area. There are high lift service pumps at the SRWTP and FWTP to move the treated water from the facility reservoirs into the distribution system. The City also maintains pumping facilities at ten of the City’s storage reservoirs. These pump stations are of varying sizes and capacities.
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 utilized for water services. Water transmission mains are larger pipelines utilized to convey water to the distribution mains.
It is City policy to only utilize the water distribution mains for water services, fire services, and fire hydrants. These pipes are typically 4-inches to 12-inches in diameter. These pipes may be tapped only with the approval of the City DOU. Considering each service tap is a potential weakening of the water main, the City currently has the policy to restrict the installation of service taps until after a project has been reviewed and approved by the City. This is to restrict the number of taps to the mains to those that are in the ultimate location per an approved development plan. This reduces the number of service taps that are abandoned due to changes in the development plans.
Transmission mains are 14-inches and larger in diameter. They are used to convey large volumes of water from the treatment plants to selected points throughout the distribution system. They are also utilized to transfer water to and from the storage reservoirs to meet fluctuating daily and seasonal demands. These mains cannot be tapped for water services, fire services, or fire hydrants.
The City DOU has an active CIP for maintaining and upgrading the water supply system. The implementation of the water improvements necessary to serve a specific project site is typically the responsibility of future developers. City policy requires the developer to construct any infrastructure necessary to support the project in question. To determine if water needs for a project can be met, a water supply test is performed on the existing system. Depending on the location of the project, a water study may also be required of new development to determine if there is sufficient water supply to support the project. If the existing water system is sufficient to meet the needs, no infrastructure upgrades are necessary. If the existing infrastructure is found to be insufficient for the project’s needs, the developer is required to construct necessary infrastructure improvements.
The infrastructure improvements required for all new development will need to meet current City standards. Looped water main systems are typically required due to the unreliability of dead end mains, and the potential for water quality problems as a result of stagnant water. Additional water main installation may also be required depending on the existing system layout. All new water services are required to be metered.
The City’s Water Development Fees are based on the size of the water service(s) necessary for a project with separate fee schedules for either residential or commercial projects. The Water Development fees may be waived upon request only if the conditions of Resolution 87-322 (Residential Infill Lots) or Resolution No. 2018-0428 (Affordable Dwelling Units) are met. Mixed use projects that qualify for these waivers must have a separate water service connection for the residential portion of the project. The current City process for the determining if a project is eligible for the Residential Infill Lots waiver utilizes a GIS based layer and the City’s Accella (planning & building permit program) to automatically determine if a residential project (at building permit application) is in a Designated or Qualifying Water Fee Waiver Area. If the project is in a Designated area, the fee is automatically waived for the residential portion of the project. If the project is in a Qualifying area, planning staff reviews and determines if the fee should be waived per the requirements of the resolution.
Temporary source of water for construction is easily acquired two different ways. First, the contractor can purchase a construction service. This potentially could be the ultimate water service tap for the project.
Secondly, the contractor can arrange to purchase water from an adjacent fire hydrant.

The City Design Standards for water (Section 13 – Water Distribution System Design Standards dated 7/24/18) contains the planning and design criteria for water systems.
Existing Conditions
The SBP area is generally served by an extensive system of service mains ranging in size from 6-inches to 12-inches in diameter. These mains are a mixture of steel, PVC, and ductile iron pipelines. There are a few smaller 4-inch pipelines, one located in 32nd Street north of Stockton Blvd., one that crosses under Highway 50 just westerly of Stockton Blvd., one located in 3rd Avenue westerly of Stockton Blvd., and one located in the 51st/52nd Street Alley.
A 36-inch major transmission main serving the East Downtown Sacramento area from the SRWTP passes through the northerly SBP area located in R Street. A 24-inch transmission main connects to this pipeline and follows Stockton Blvd. southerly to 2nd Avenue where it then reduces in size to a 16-inch pipeline to Broadway. At this point the pipeline splits in three directions with 12-inch distribution pipelines to the west and south and a 14” pipeline to the east.
There is a second 36-inch major transmission main within the SBP located in 14th Avenue. An 18-inch transmission main connects to this pipeline and follows Stockton Blvd. southerly to Lawrence Drive where it then turns westerly and leaves the SBP area.
A third 30-inch major transmission main passes through the SBP area located in Fruitridge Road. A fourth 30-inch transmission main is located in Elder Creek Road easterly of Stockton Blvd.
There are no active wells or reservoirs within the limits of the SBP area. The nearest reservoirs outside of the SBP is the Alhambra Reservoir located just to the north of SMP area to the east of Alhambra Blvd. and south of J Street, and the UC Med Reservoir located at the UC Davis Medical Center to the south of V street and east of 45th Street.
The City of Sacramento Department of Utilities (DOU) prepared the Capital Improvement Programming Guide in July 2012. The report contains recommendations for improvements to the sewer, storm drainage, and water systems including a Priority List for 50 different Water Transmission Main projects identified to be replaced. Two of these 50 Water Transmission Mains projects are located within the SBP area:
1. Item #27 – Stockton Blvd from 2nd Avenue to Broadway: This is approximately 1672 feet of 16- inch water transmission main that is currently (2021) 105 years old.
2. Item #28 – Broadway from Stockton Blvd. to 53rd Street: This is approximately 2744 feet of 14- inch water transmission main that is currently (2021) 105 years old.
Proposed Conditions
The types of future development envisioned in the SBP Plan area are high-density urban infill type projects, with residential units consisting of townhomes, midrise multifamily/mixed use, urban walk-up mixed use, and garden-style apartments. Domestic water demands for these residential units is anticipated to be similar to the City’s typical multi-family water usage criteria. Fire flow demand for the SBP area is assumed to be 2,500 gpm. Ultimately, the minimum fire flow for a specific building is designated by the fire department during plan review. A Water Supply Test to determine the existing system available fire flow is required for all developing properties.
The adoption by the State of California of SB7–“20 x 2020” Water Conservation Standards requiring a 20% reduction in urban water usage by the year 2020 and the CalGreen Building Code will require reductions in overall water usage through stricter indoor and outdoor usage. These requirements City of Sacramento

mandating water conservation will further justify the use of the reduced water rates for the future development in the SBP area.
The City Water Study Design Manual dated January 2018 contains the Water Distribution System Criteria (WDS Criteria) which is a summary of the recommended potable water system performance and operational criteria. The WDS Criteria provides a table of gross unit water use factors for various land uses. The demands are broken into two categories of water use factors, residential and non-residential.
The residential factors are based on the acre-feet per year per DU (afy/du) and the non-residential is based on acre-feet per year per employee (afy/employee). For the SBP, all of the anticipated dwelling units are anticipated to be the Residential High category which has a residential factor of 0.12 afy/du. The Non-Residential land use has a factor of 0.09 afy/employee.
With 4,077 new multi-family dwelling units expected in the SBP area, the anticipated increase in the residential average water demand is 489.2 afy (= 4,077 DUs x 0.12 afy/du). Assuming an average of 340 square feet per employee, the anticipated 372,115 square feet of non-residential development would equate to approximately 1,094 employees. The anticipated increase in the non-residential average water is
98.5 afy (= 1,094 Employees x 0.09 afy/employee). The total anticipated increase in the DPB average water demand is estimated to be 587.7 acre-feet per year.
Recommended System Improvements:
The SBP 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 of new development to determine if there is sufficient water supply to support the project. If the existing water system is sufficient to meet the needs, no infrastructure upgrades are necessary. If the existing infrastructure is found to be insufficient for the project’s needs, the developer is required to construct necessary infrastructure improvements.
The following improvements are necessary to facilitate development along the corridor:
• Smaller 6-inch water mains in the vicinity of the proposed Pipeline Projects and Opportunity Sites may need to be upsized to 8-inch minimum.
• 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. • Extend the existing 6-inch dead end water main located in Young Street easterly connect to the new 8” water main in Stockton Boulevard.
• 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.

NATURAL GAS
General Information
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) supplies natural gas to the Sacramento area. During the winter, approximately 70% is imported from Canada and the balance is supplied from California production wells. During the summer, this ratio is reversed. Also during the summer, gas prices are lower so gas is stored in underground reservoirs for use during winter peak use periods.
The PG&E gas distribution system has high and low pressure distribution systems. The high pressure system pipelines are generally 4-inch diameter and larger, carry gas at approximately 40 pounds per square inch (psi). Low pressure system pipelines, generally 2-inch diameter, carry gas at a pressure of 7- inch water column (about 0.25 psi). Service is generally provided from the low pressure system unless usage exceeds about 3,000 cubic feet per hour; however, in the SBP area the system is all high pressure.
Regulators are used to reduce high pressure to low pressure.
Existing Conditions
A 6-inch transmission main passes through the SBP area located in T Street to Stockton Blvd. to V Street serving the UCD Medical Center campus. A second major 16-inch gas transmission main passes through the SBP are located in 15th Avenue. A third major 12-inch gas transmission main passes through the SBP located in Fruitridge Road. There is also a 20” SMUD pipeline that passes through the SBP area located in Fruitridge Road.
The high pressure gas system generally is served by a grid system throughout the SBP 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. There is a 4-inch pipeline located in Stockton Blvd. from Alhambra Blvd. to Broadway. A 2-inch pipeline is located in Stockton Blvd. from Broadway to 16th Avenue. There is a gap in the system along Stockton Boulevard from 16th Avenue to Yosemite Avenue.
There is a short approximately 200 foot section of 2-inch pipeline located south of Yosemite Avenue, but then there is another gap in system to mid-way between Parker Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. From that point a 2-inch pipeline that increases to a 4-inch pipeline at Roosevelt Avenue. This 4-inch pipeline extends southerly along Stockton Boulevard to the SBP southern boundary.
Proposed Conditions
PG&E indicates they are currently making improvements to their system which may negate the need for future improvements when or if the new developments are constructed. PG&E will service the new developments and infrastructure as they are constructed and require service. 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.
PG&E was unable to provide a draft of necessary system improvements and/or review of their gas system without specific information regarding gas loads at each potential development site together with an application for service.
If the user is a core (non-interruptible) customer in the service area and will accept service at 7-inch water column pressure, the company is generally obligated by California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulations to provide service without additional cost for service. If the user is a non-core (interruptible) customer or needs an elevated pressure service for large volume use, there are charges for service according to PG&E new business tariffs. Whether a project is a core (non-interruptible) user or a non-core (interruptible) user depends on the type of use for the facility or business. Projects in the DBP Plan Area are most likely to be core (non-interruptible) customers.

The New Building Electrification Ordinance requires newly constructed buildings that are three stories or less to be all-electric with building permit applications filed on or after January 1, 2023, and newly constructed buildings that are four stories or more to be all-electric with building permit applications filed on or after January 1, 2026. These new requirements will likely lower the new development gas demand and the need for new services in the coming years. The following is a link to the City of Sacramento website with information on these recently adopted ordinances:
(http://www.cityofsacramento.org/SacElectrificationOrdinance) Recommended System Improvements:
There is an existing gap in the natural gas main line system along Stockton Boulevard between the existing 2” main at 16th Avenue and the existing 4” main at Roosevelt Avenue. However, the existing developed parcels in this gap area appear to receive gas service from the side streets. At PG&E’s discretion, it may be necessary to provide a main line connection between these two points in the system in order to serve future development demands. With the City’s newly adopted New Building Electrification Ordinance it may prove unnecessary to expand the existing natural gas system.

ELECTRICAL
General Information
SMUD provides electrical service to customers located within the SBP area. Power is transmitted to the SBP area by a 12kV and 21kV distribution system. There are 3 different 21kV substations that feed the Stockton Blvd. 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 Stockton Blvd. area.
The Mid-City substation is situated along Stockton Blvd. and 34th Street in the northern end of the SBP area.
Of these three substations, there are five 21kV feeders serving the SBP area. The five feeders consist of Mid-City 2302, Mid-City 2305, South-City 2302, South-City 2303, and East-City 2302. The existing feeders will likely be used to serve new development located within the 21kV service area along Stockton Blvd.
Existing Conditions (Facilities)
The SBP area is served by the 12kV and 21kV distribution system consisting of mainly overhead facilities. The 21kV system is fed from Mid-City 2302, Mid-City 2305, South-City 2302, South-City 2303, and East-City 2302. The five 21kV feeders total approximately 23MVA of load carrying capacity.
The 12kV distribution system is served with three feeders on the different distribution substations: 14th Ave. & 52nd feeder 1203, Fruitridge 44th St. feeder 1202, and Wire & 4th feeder 1203. There is an existing 69kV underbuilt with 12kV overhead facilities along Stockton Blvd between of 15th Avenue and Fruitridge Road. There is 12kV overhead facilities between Fruitridge Road and Riza Avenue. There are 12kV underground facilities along Stockton Blvd. from Riza Avenue to the SBP southerly boundary.
The existing public utility easements (PUEs) along Stockton Blvd. need to be maintained for the existing and future 12/69kV overhead electrical facilities. New PUEs will need to be provided if the SMUD facilities are relocated.
The amount of available capacity is solely determined by the location of the new development and the available circuits that feed that area. SMUD requires the customer to provide the load usage to forecast the future facilities upgrade to serve the customer proposed project.
Proposed Conditions
The amount of available capacity is determined by the location of the new development and the available circuits that feed that area. SMUD requires the customer to provide the load usage to forecast the future facilities upgrade to serve the customer proposed project.
The City of Sacramento adopted the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Ordinance on April 20, 2021 and the New Building Electrification Ordinance on June 1, 2021.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
General
Within the SBP area there are numerous telecommunications providers. The following are the main providers for telephone and cable services.
AT&T – Telecommunications
AT&T supplies local and long distance telephone service, and also data communications, in most of the Sacramento area. The SBP area is served by the Main Wire Center at 14th and J Streets.
AT&T serves the SBP area with a combination of overhead and underground conduit systems. The main lines are generally located in the streets.
Recently-developed properties often place the aerial facilities underground, generally in a joint trench with other dry utilities along the street frontage or in an alley. Cabling in underground conduits can be either copper wire or fiber optic cable.
Comcast/AT&T Broadband
Comcast provides cable television service in the Sacramento area. AT&T Broadband leases conduit space and fiber optic cable capacity from Comcast in the SBP area.
Comcast serves the Sacramento area with a combination of underground and overhead fiber optic and copper coaxial cable. The signal is generated at a downtown site on N Street near the Capitol and is distributed to hub sites throughout the service area, from which local service is distributed.
City of Sacramento
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. The network consists of approximately 160 miles of underground fiber optic cables and conduits that transverse the main corridors of the City. The fiber network currently enables the City to run efficient operations and reduces operational costs, while expanding capabilities. The telecommunications system consists of single or multiple underground conduits, pull boxes, and utility vaults that are interconnected with the traffic signals, utility services, and various City facilities. Within the SBP area this system is located along the length of the Stockton Boulevard corridor.
The following link shows how the Public Works - Transportation Division utilizes this infrastructure:
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Transportation/Traffic-Signals/Traffic-Operations-Center Proposed Telecommunications
Telecommunications providers have indicated the existing system within the SBP area should be sufficient to serve the proposed projects and opportunity sites with relatively minor additions. In general, service to each of the new sites will be coordinated with the main electrical service in a common joint trench. Typically, a few 2-inch conduits will be added to the joint utility trench for service to the projects.

PROBABLE ESTIMATE OF CONSTRUCTION
COSTS
The costs presented here to construct the infrastructure necessary for the DPB Plan Area are intended for planning level only. They include the general costs for infrastructure to support the overall buildout of the catalyst sites in the DPB Plan Area using today’s (2021) dollars.
This estimate is not intended to be utilized for the actual costs for specific projects. The final costs for each specific project will need to be estimated separately and could be considerably different than those shown here due to the uncertainty of the order, timing and scope of the actual development to be constructed. The estimates have been developed solely to give interested parties a magnitude of the scale of the costs of improvements.
The unit costs for the other infrastructure items were based on actual costs of recent development within the Sacramento, planning level costs utilized by various City departments as well as engineering judgment. Final unit costs for each specific project will depend on the actual labor and materials costs for the conditions at the time of construction. These conditions might include the scope of the development and scheduled project completion.
The estimates are generally separated into the corresponding infrastructure report for the different utilities.
For each utility the estimates have been divided either along the major boundaries as for sewer and storm drainage, or by the corresponding Station area. Assumptions and clarifications for the costs are noted at the bottom of the individual sheets.

Introduction
The Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan (Project)
establishes a long-term vision and strategy for
redeveloping and transforming Stockton Boulevard
into a thriving corridor with equitable outcomes for
existing residents and businesses.
This chapter provides an overview of identified
Facility improvements necessary to serve
projected growth in the Specific Plan Area. In
addition, this chapter identifies the estimated
cost of Facility improvements and describes both
existing and potential new funding sources that
may be used to fund Facility improvements.
Specific Plan Area Land Uses
The Specific Plan Area comprises approximately
420 acres (424 parcels), with about 280 acres
of commercially zoned property along a 4.8-
mile segment of Stockton Boulevard in the City,
spanning from Alhambra Boulevard to the north
to the City’s southern boundary to the south.
The Specific Plan Area is estimated to include
60 vacant parcels totaling almost 49 acres, or 14
percent of the total acreage.
There are 6 development Pipeline projects
located in the Specific Plan Area and an additional
33 proposed Opportunity Sites that have been
identified as being likely to redevelop. Among
these Pipeline Projects and Opportunity Sites, the
Specific Plan Area is anticipated to accommodate
an additional 4,077 residential dwelling units,
ranging in density between 18.5 and 95 dwelling
units per acre, and up to 372,115 square feet of
commercial uses. For an explanation of these land
uses, refer to Chapter 2 Land Use and Community
Character.
Development of the Specific Plan Area is expected
to proceed irregularly and on a project-by-project basis as individual development projects move forward with development plans. There
may be variations from this land use program as
development actually occurs. As such, land uses,
and associated infrastructure needs, may require
periodic review.
Facilities Definitions
The term “Backbone Infrastructure” often is used
to describe all publicly owned facilities. This
chapter uses the following definitions to define
these items more precisely:
• Backbone Infrastructure includes most of the
essential public service-based infrastructure
including roadways and improvements
underneath public roadways (such as storm
drainage, sanitary sewer, and water facilities).
Backbone Infrastructure is sized to serve
numerous individual development projects and,
in some cases, serves adjacent development
areas. The definition of Backbone Infrastructure
excludes infrastructure improvements
necessary to serve individual project sites;
these improvements are typically funded
privately by project developers.
• Public Facilities include amenities to the
Project (e.g., parks) or house employees and
equipment providing services to the area (e.g.,
police and fire facilities).
• Facilities generically refers to Backbone
Infrastructure and Public Facilities when a
precise breakdown is not required.

Facilities Funding Principles
To achieve the goal of ensuring the public infrastructure in the Specific Plan Area will be funded and delivered in time to meet Specific Plan Area needs, the City has established the following funding principles to guide a future Financing Strategy for funding Facilities:
1. A Funding Strategy will provide the framework
to ensure all backbone infrastructure and
public facilities necessary for public health,
safety, and welfare are constructed in
accordance with the City’s development
standards in a timely manner to support
development in the Specific Plan Area.
2. A Funding Strategy will identify the specific
maintenance services required in the Specific
Plan Area and identify appropriate funding
sources, both existing and proposed.
3. New development will fund the proportionate
share of Facility improvements traditionally
funded in new development projects and
carried costs exceeding respective fair
shares will be subject to various credit and
reimbursement mechanisms.
4. Developers may be required to advance fund
or construct significant portions of Facility
improvements exceeding their proportionate
share. Such developers may seek private
financing necessary to carry such improvement
costs to the extent public financing is not
available and to fund the developers’ own
share of such costs.
5. Because it is impossible to precisely predict
the manner in which development of the
Specific Plan Area will unfold, absorption of the
projected land uses, and therefore the timing
of improvement requirements, the various
components of a Funding Strategy may require
regular updates to reflect changes in land use
and improvement assumptions.
6. The City may, in accordance with prudent
fiscal judgment, provide tax-exempt municipal
financing to defray financing costs for public
facilities. Any public debt issued by the City
must meet all City debt policies and not
adversely affect the City’s credit rating.
7. The actions contemplated herein by the City
are subject to the legislative discretion of
the City at the time of approval and must be
in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.

Utilities
A preliminary planning-level assessment of utility
infrastructure in the Specific Plan Area evaluated
whether the Specific Plan Area contained any
known infrastructure deficiencies and offered
recommended system improvements based
on the level of projected growth in the Specific
Plan Area. The utility infrastructure assessment
evaluated the following Backbone Infrastructure:
• Wastewater and storm drainage facilities.
• Water facilities.
• Dry utilities (natural gas, electrical, and
telecommunications).
Based on an assessment of utility infrastructure in
the Specific Plan Area, the area is generally well-served by existing Backbone Infrastructure. At this time, projected new development in the Specific
Plan Area will require minimal, new Backbone
Infrastructure improvements. A summary of
existing conditions and recommended system
improvements is described in Appendix D.
Transportation
The City recently completed a Corridor Study
to establish a vision, set of improvements,
and preliminary costs related to transportation
investments along Stockton Boulevard. The City
approved the Stockton Boulevard Corridor Plan in
September 2021, which includes improvements to
safety, mobility, and the community as identified
in Table E-1 and described in more detail in the
Stockton Boulevard Corridor Plan (Appendix F).

Public Facilities
Parks
The City has identified park improvements for the
Specific Plan Area, as described below:
• 21st Avenue Median. The City is leading a
master plan process and engaging with the
community in ongoing discussions related to
the planning and analysis of converting the 21st
Avenue median into a recreational amenity.
• Lawrence Park. The City’s Park CIP includes
renovations to Lawrence Park, including a
shade canopy over the playground, new
access pathway through the park for ADA
accessibility, additional picnic stations, outdoor
seating, 35 new trees, and volleyball courts,
table tennis, and corn hole.
The City may identify additional parks and open
space improvements to serve Specific Plan Area
residents.
Other Public Facilities
Through subsequent implementation steps, the
City may identify other Public Facilities, including
police, fire, transit, and library facilities, needed to serve Specific Plan Area residents.
Summary of Estimated Planning-Level
Facility Costs
Utilities
Cost estimates for improvements with an identified
funding source (i.e., development impact fee
program revenue) have been identified as part of
the City’s CIP or will be prepared by the City or a
licensed civil engineer.
Unfunded water improvements identified to serve
projected development in the Specific Plan Area
are estimated to be $556,000 (2022 dollars)
and include a 25 percent cost contingency on
all improvements. The improvements and costs
described in this study are based on a preliminary
1 Original Corridor Study cost estimates of $81.1 million, escalated to current dollars using the California State Department of General Services California Construction Cost Index percentage change from December 2020 to December 2021. Original cost estimate prepared by Nelson\Nygaard, November 2020. planning-level utilities assessment, prepared
by NV5 (February 2022). These unfunded
improvements will require a new funding source
from the options listed later in this chapter.
Transportation
As described in the City Corridor Study,
transportation improvements are estimated to
be $92.0 million (2020 dollar cost estimates,
escalated to 2022 dollars) and include a 35
percent cost contingency on all improvements.1
Corridor Study improvements will rely on State and
federal grants to implement, although competition
is strong, and grants require matching local funds.
Typical awards for corridor improvements range
from $3 million to $9 million, depending on the
administering agency. When the grant programs
become available, the City identifies a segment for
which to request funding based on the program
and its typical award amounts. If successful in
receiving grant awards, it can take between 4
and 7 years to perform the design, environmental
clearance, and right of way and be ready for
construction.
Public Facilities
Cost estimates for needed Public Facilities in the
Specific Plan Area have been identified as part of
the City’s CIP or will be prepared by the City or a
licensed civil engineer.
Facilities Funding Options
The funding of needed Facilities will rely on a
combination of private and public sources. Most
improvements identified in the utility assessment
prepared for the Specific Plan Area are site-specific and will be the funding responsibility of the developer moving forward with a development
project. Other funding may be available from
the City or other public sources to defray these
improvement costs, although no sources have
been identified at this time.

There are improvements that are not anticipated to
be funded through private development but rather
through public sources (i.e., City, State, and federal
sources) or other sources to be determined. These
include the water and transportation improvements
described previously.
An overview of available funding sources to fund
Specific Plan Area Facilities is provided below:
• Specific Plan Area Developer Funding.
Funding and financing sources originating from
private development in the Specific Plan Area
include the following subcategories: developer
funding via payment of existing development
impact fees and private developer funding.
• Local Funding. This category includes
funding sources that are under the control of
the City and may include City development
impact fee programs to the extent that fee
payments generated by development outside
the Specific Plan Area are available to fund
related Facilities. The City may consider other
funding options, including the formation of a
land-secured financing district, an Enhanced
Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD), or other
source.
• Regional, State, and Federal Funding.
Funding sources, such as grants or loans, from
State, federal, or other agencies to which the

Private Financing, Agreements, and Partnerships
Developers commonly fund infrastructure
requirements privately. Private funding includes
capital provided by private developers through
debt financing, equity, or a combination of both.
In some cases, area-serving infrastructure (not
fully the responsibility of a particular developer)
can be privately financed. These cooperative
arrangements are typically structured in
development agreements or reimbursement
agreements. This upfront infrastructure
development may be fully or partially refunded,
using subsequently collected development
impact fees, special tax bond proceeds, or other
city funding sources. These arrangements tend
to be available during times of strong market
performance. In weaker markets or locales, it may
be difficult to obtain such private financing.
Local Funding
General Obligation Bond
A general obligation (GO) bond is a type of
municipal bond that is secured by a state or local
government’s pledge to use legally available
resources, most typically including property tax
revenues, to repay bond holders. GO bonds
are restricted to defined capital improvements.
Creation of general obligation bonds requires
two-thirds voter approval if the issuance is for non-educational purposes.
The incidence of burden of general obligation
bonds is upon all property owners in the issuing
jurisdiction proportional to the value of their
property. Because property owners are usually
reluctant to risk losses because of unpaid property
tax bills, credit rating agencies often consider a
GO pledge to have very strong credit quality and
frequently assign them investment grade ratings.
If local property owners do not pay their property
taxes on time in any given year, a government
entity is required to increase its property tax rate
by as much as is legally allowable in a following
year to make up for delinquencies. In the interim
between the taxpayer delinquency and the higher
property tax rate in the following year, the GO
pledge requires the local government to pay debt
service coming due with its available resources.
In California, cities must secure a two-thirds voter
approval to issue GO bonds.
Economic Considerations
General obligation bonds allow public entities
to finance at a low fixed rate over the useful life
of the asset. However, general obligation bonds
are limited to capital improvement expenditures
E-6
FACILITIES FINANCING OPTIONS
APPENDIX E
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
and also are limited in their use to the precise
purposes outlined in the authorizing ballot
measure. General obligation bonds are commonly
restricted to particular capital uses (e.g., street
improvements, drainage improvements, parks and
recreation).
Revenue Bond
Revenue bonds are payable solely from net or
gross non-ad valorem tax revenues derived from
General Fund revenues, tax increment revenues,
rates or tolls, fees or charges, or rents paid by
users of the facility constructed with the proceeds
of the bond issue. However, it should be noted
that governments typically pay higher rates when
they borrow through revenue bonds rather than
GO bonds.
Economic Considerations
Revenue bonds are limited to enterprise-related
expenditures and to the precise purposes outlined
in the authorizing bond instrument. Revenue
bonds also are limited by the rate base, as utility
rates must conform to Constitutional and statutory
requirements (e.g., Proposition 218).
New Sales Tax Measure
Under California Sales and Use Tax Law, State and
local sales taxes are imposed on retailers—and
typically passed along to the consumer—for the
privilege of selling tangible personal property
in the State. The authority to levy local sales
taxes was established through the Bradley-Burns
Uniform Sales and Use Tax Law (Bradley-Burns)
passed by the State legislature in 1955 (taking
effect January 1, 1956).4 The Bradley-Burns law
created a uniform local sales tax rate of 1.25
percent among cities and counties choosing
to levy the tax and required that sales taxes be
collected by the State and distributed on a situs
basis. As of January 2022, the State imposes a
combined State and local sales tax rate of 7.25
4 For statutory provisions regarding the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law, refer to Revenue and Taxation Code §7200 et seq.; for the provisions regarding State sales and use taxes, refer to Revenue and Taxation Code §6001 et seq.
percent and allows municipalities and districts
to assess an additional local tax rate of up to 3.0
percent (for a total tax rate of 10.25 percent).
The City’s sales tax rate is 8.75 percent. The City
may consider a citywide sales tax rate increase
(typically 0.25 to 0.50 percent) to fund Project-specific infrastructure. Because the sales tax revenues would be used to fund a specific project,
this would be considered a special tax and would
require two-thirds voter approval. If a sales tax
measure is approved, funding can be used to fund
infrastructure using a “pay-as-you-go” approach,
as a source of reimbursement, or to support a
municipal bond issuance.
Economic Considerations
Use of various general fund sources to support
infrastructure investments including repair and
replacement of existing infrastructure, as well
infrastructure that serves new development,
requires little additional administrative effort and is typically secure given the broad range of revenue
sources pledged to the financing. However, the
use of existing General Fund revenue is limited by
current demands to support ongoing operations.
The incidence of burden falls to those paying
the taxes or rates. That is, sales taxes are paid by
residents, businesses, employees, and visitors.
The rationale for this payer burden is that these
residents, businesses, employees, and visitors will
benefit from the investments made in infrastructure
and development.
Parcel Tax
Parcel taxes are a form of property tax, which must
be paid by the owners of parcels of real estate.
However, unlike standard property taxes, which
are based on the value of the property, a parcel
tax is an assessment based on the characteristics
of the parcel. Taxing districts have created
assessments that range from flat amounts per
parcel to assessments based on parcel lot square
E-7
FACILITIES FINANCING OPTIONS
APPENDIX E
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
footage or building square foot. Some taxing
districts have assessed residential parcels using
one method and nonresidential parcels using
another method.
Based on Proposition 218 (approved by State
voters in 1996), local taxing districts can levy this
type of non-ad valorem tax if a super majority of
two-thirds of the voters approve.5 If a parcel tax is
approved, a GO bond could be issued against the
future revenue stream to generate upfront funding.
Economic Considerations
Parcel taxes (and special taxes) create an
opportunity for voters to decide to pay for
municipal services or facilities that they deem
important. With a broad funding base and strict
allocation rules, the taxpayers can assure that
funding will be used as intended. However,
parcel taxes (and special taxes) are limited to the
purposes for which they were approved. They also
are commonly subject to a “sunset” date, and must
be re-authorized periodically to maintain funding.
Capitalizing Leases (Certificates of Participation)
Capitalizing leases, most commonly Certificates
of Participation (COP), are typically used by
government agencies for construction or
improvement of public facilities. By use of a lease-type repayment structure, the monies needed to fund these building projects do not (by California
State law) constitute public debt and do not
require voter approval. Usually, a public entity
enters into a tax-exempt lease-purchase with a
lessor and the lessor provides the agreed-on
public facility. As new financing needs emerge and
market conditions change, government agencies
often find that their leasing powers provide more
expedient access to the capital markets than the
more restricted powers to incur debt.
Economic Considerations
Cities can use capitalizing leases to provide
upfront funding for projects needed to facilitate
economic development, for example providing
5 A non-ad valorem tax is one that is not based on the value of the property that is being taxed. “bridge” financing for an infrastructure project,
through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds.
However, the arrangement present in COPs
between a public entity and a lessor is complex
and issuance costs are higher than those for
general obligation bonds.
Land-Secured Funding and Financing
There is a long history in California and elsewhere
in the United States of using land-secured
financing methods to fund local infrastructure or
provide services that benefit a particular area
(ranging from an entire jurisdiction to subareas
of all sizes), including special benefit assessment
districts and Mello-Roos Community Facilities
Districts (CFDs).
Special Benefit Assessment Districts
Special benefit assessment districts are a way
of creating a property-based assessment on
properties that benefit from a specific public
improvement. The formation of assessment
districts requires majority approval of the affected
property owners. Benefit assessments can fund
a wide range of infrastructure improvements as
long as a direct and measurable benefit can be
identified for the benefitting properties. There are
numerous forms of special benefit assessments
in the California statutes, including the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913, Lighting and Landscape
Maintenance Districts, and others. In 1996,
Proposition 218 effectively eliminated the use of
Assessment Districts in California by limiting the
methods by which local governments may exact
revenues from taxpayers without their consent.
In addition, recent court rulings (Silicon Valley
Taxpayers’ Assn., Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open
Space Authority, 44 Cal. 4th 431 (Cal. 2008)) have
tightened the requirements for demonstration of
“special benefit,” thus further reducing the flexibility and utility of assessment districts. Most recent
land-secured financings have been Mello-Roos
CFDs.
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts
E-8
FACILITIES FINANCING OPTIONS
APPENDIX E
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of
1982 (authorized by Section 53311 et seq. of the
Government Code) enables the formation of a CFD
by local agencies with two-thirds voter approval
(or landowner approval when there are fewer than
12 registered voters in the proposed district) for
the purpose of imposing special taxes on property
owners. The resulting special tax revenue can
be used to fund capital costs or operations and
maintenance expenses directly, or they may be
used to secure a bond issuance, the proceeds
of which are used to fund capital costs. Because
the levy is a tax rather than an assessment, the
standard for demonstrating the benefit received
is lower, thus creating more flexibility. CFDs have
become the most common form of land-secured
financing in California.
As special taxes and tax overrides approach or
exceed ½ percent of assessed value annually, on
top of the basic 1 percent property tax rate, there is
a heightened risk of value impacts shifting to home
and land prices (which offsets benefits associated
with the additional special taxes). Cities using
CFDs often adopt policies that regulate how they
are used and the various limits and considerations
to be applied in creating CFDs.
Economic Considerations
Land-secured financing provides a well-established method of securing relatively low-cost tax exempt, long-term, fixed rate, fully-assumable debt financing. However, there can be challenges associated with establishing
measurable and specific benefits to particular
properties. In addition, land-secured financing
adds financing costs (e.g., cost of issuance and
program administration). Further, the financing
capacity of a district may be limited in early phases
of development and it may be necessary to rely
on other sources of infrastructure funding during
initial years. Finally, while land-secured financing
has been widely used in greenfield development
where landowner approval is the norm, achieving
a two-thirds voter approval in infill areas typically
can be a barrier to use of the tool.
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts
Senate Bill 628 (2014) created the ability for
jurisdictions to form Enhanced Infrastructure
Financing Districts (EIFDs), and it is the most used
form of tax increment financing (TIF) in California.
The EIFD bill expanded the scope of eligible uses
of funds considerably and lowered the voter/
landowner threshold to pass a bond from two-thirds to 55 percent. More recently, legislation streamlined the process for issuing bonds by
removing the 55 percent vote initially required of
EIFDs (Assembly Bill 116 (2019)). Other legislative
amendments have improved EIFDs, including
Assembly Bill 733 (2017), which allows EIFDs to
fund climate change adaptation projects, and
Senate Bill 1145 (2018), which allows EIFDs to fund
infrastructure maintenance costs.
EIFDs may be initiated by any affected taxing
authority, including a city, a county, or a special
district, and are governed by an Infrastructure
Financing Plan (IFP). Taxing authorities can devote
a portion of their share of property taxes, as well
as property tax received in lieu of vehicle license
fees (VLF). EIFDs may be used for the purchase,
construction, or improvement of any real property
with a useful life of at least 15 years inside or
outside the district. Eligible uses of EIFD funding
must be public capital facilities or other specified
projects of “communitywide significance” that
provide significant benefits to the district or the
surrounding community. These are some examples
of allowable projects:
• Highways, interchanges, ramps and bridges,
arterial streets, parking facilities, and transit
facilities.
• Sewage treatment and water reclamation
plants and interceptor pipes.
• Facilities for the collection and treatment of
water for urban uses.
• Flood control levees and dams, retention
basins, and drainage channels.
• Childcare facilities, libraries, parks, recreational
facilities, and open space.
E-9
FACILITIES FINANCING OPTIONS
APPENDIX E
HEARING DRAFT - SEPTEMBER 2024
• Facilities for the transfer and disposal of solid
waste, including transfer stations and vehicles.
• Brownfield restoration and other environmental
mitigation.
• Acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of
housing for persons of low and moderate
income.
• Acquisition, construction, or repair of industrial
structures for private use.
In 2018, the State passed amending legislation
to also allow ongoing maintenance costs to
be funded with EIFDs. Senate Bill 1145 (2018)
authorizes a district to finance the ongoing or
capitalized costs to maintain public capital facilities financed in whole or in part by the district but
prohibits the use of proceeds of bonds issued
to finance maintenance (i.e., maintenance if
funded pay-as-you-go). In addition, a district may
not finance the costs of ongoing operations or
providing services of any kind.
Economic Considerations
EIFDs redirect property taxes otherwise accruing
to the General Fund. The value created by the
project is captured and invested in the District.
However, only specific types of public investments
of community-wide significance may be financed
through an EIFDs. EIFDs cannot be used to finance
operations and maintenance expenses.
Regional, State, and Federal Funding
There are many potential federal, State, regional,
and private sources of grants or loans to fund
Facilities in the Specific Plan Area. The City should
aggressively pursue all available funding sources
from federal, State, regional, and other funding
sources. A summary of key funding opportunities is
provided below.
Federal Funding Sources
Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
Since 2015, one of the primary federal sources
of surface transportation funding has been the
Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act,
which provided surface transportation funding for
Fiscal Year 2016 through Fiscal Year 2020. The
FAST Act was extended through September 30,
2021, but expired at that date. On November 15,
2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Bill, was signed into law, which includes funding
for surface transportation. Congress passed an
updated transportation bill on November 8, 2021,
which both secured funding for continuing existing
programs and created dozens of new grant
programs.
Federal Housing and Urban Development Promise
Zones
The Specific Plan Area is located in a designated
federal “Promise Zone” and will therefore have
priority for federal housing grants.
Federal Community Development Block Grants
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds are distributed by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
City manages and identifies funding priorities for
projects in the City. Although most of the funding
is reserved for the acquisition and rehabilitation of
affordable housing, some funding also is available
for public improvements (i.e., roads, parks).
State and Regional Funding Sources
State Transportation Improvement Program
State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP) funds are derived from a combination of
federal and State sources, including taxes and
fees. These funds are divided into 2 programs:
the Interregional Transportation Improvement
Program (ITIP) and the Regional Transportation
Improvement Program (RTIP). To be eligible for
RTIP funding, projects must be included in the
transportation improvement plan prepared by
the regional agency (Sacramento Area Council
of Governments), which are submitted to the
California Transportation Commission every
E-10

other December (odd years). RTIP funding, which
represents 75 percent of total STIP funding, goes
to local regions through a formulaic process.
California Transportation Commission Local
Programs
California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), enacted in 2017,
created several programs for the distribution of
funds raised by the imposition of new gas and
diesel taxes and vehicle registration fees. The
Local Partnership Program appropriates $200
million annually, with 40 percent distributed
through a competitive process, and 60 percent
distributed through a formulaic process. The
Local Streets and Roads program dedicates
approximately $1.5 billion annually for road
maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety
projects.
State Strategic Growth Council Funding
The Strategic Growth Council’s Affordable
Housing and Sustainable Communities Program
and Transformative Climate Communities
Program provide competitive grants to support
affordable housing and related transit and active
transportation projects.
Statewide Community Infrastructure Program
Financing
The City participates in the Statewide Community
Infrastructure Program (SCIP), which is a program
provided by the California Statewide Communities
Development Authority (CSCDA) to help finance
development projects. The SCIP is a pooled
tax-exempt bond financing program that can
finance impact fees and public improvements
for private developments. The bonds are issued
by the CSCDA, which is a Joint Powers Authority
sponsored by the League of California Cities and
the California State Association of Counties.
The SCIP allows property owners to finance
certain development impact fees and public
improvements through tax-exempt bonds for up
to 30 years. Improvements eligible for the SCIP
are the following types of facilities: streets and
roadways, street lighting, freeway interchanges,
parking, pedestrian malls, landscaping,
sidewalks, sewer and pipelines, storm drainage,
parks and parkways, flood control, bridges
and thoroughfares, water supply, bicycle and
pedestrian trails, gas supply, and open space and
greenbelts. The SCIP is not eligible to be used to
support the payment of school, affordable housing
in-lieu, fire, and police fees.
State Infrastructure Bank
The I-Bank was created in 1994 to finance public
infrastructure and private development that
promote a healthy climate for jobs, contribute to
a strong economy, and improve the quality of life
in California communities. The I-Bank operates
pursuant to the Bergeson-Peace Infrastructure and
Economic Development Bank Act (Government
Code Sections 63000 et seq.).
The I-Bank has broad authority to issue tax-exempt
and taxable revenue bonds, provide financing to
public agencies, provide credit enhancements,
acquire or lease facilities, and leverage State
and federal funds. The I-Bank’s current programs
include the Infrastructure State Revolving Fund
(ISRF) Program, 501(c)(3) Revenue Bond Program,
Industrial Development Revenue Bond Program,
Exempt Facility Revenue Bond Program, and
Governmental Bond Program. The ISRF Program
provides very low-interest rate loans up to $25
million (per applicant) to municipal governments for
a wide variety of municipal infrastructure, including
infrastructure needed to serve new development.
An application is required for these loans, and
loans require a stable and reliable source of
repayment. If approved, loan repayment can be
funded through a commitment of city general
fund revenues or a pledge of a particular revenue
source, including a citywide tax, land-secured
assessment, or special tax levied on a particular
area.
Recent changes to the program may increase

Potential Facilities Funding Strategy
Table E-3 provides a conceptual summary of costs
and possible funding sources and mechanisms.
The ultimate mix of financing mechanisms will be
determined in the implementation process, based
on final technical analyses of costs, benefits and
Facilities Funding Implementation
The following section outlines the steps to
be followed by the City, in cooperation with
development interests, to establish the preferred
financing mechanisms in a formal Financing
Strategy.
The implementation actions have been designed
to respond to varying circumstances, including
variations in the infrastructure financed and land
use development in the Specific Plan Area.
Step 1: Finalize Cost and Phasing Assumptions
Action 1.1: Identify Final Set of Facilities
Before a Financing Strategy can be implemented,
the City must provide direction concerning the
Backbone Infrastructure and Public Facilities to
be financed as part of the Specific Plan Area. A
decision regarding the inclusion of one facility or
another may have consequences on the financial
feasibility of development in the Specific Plan Area
or the potential to provide other needed Facilities
in the Specific Plan Area.

Action 1.2: Complete Final Cost Estimates
The City and other interested parties also must
establish a final set of Facilities costs that will
be financed in the Specific Plan Area. The cost
estimates included in this chapter must be
considered preliminary and for planning purposes
only.
Action 1.3: Establish Infrastructure Phasing Based
on Development Priorities
This action serves to ensure that a financially
feasible and acceptable Financing Strategy can
be created to support development in the Specific
Plan Area.
Step 2: Approve a Financing Strategy
Action 2.1: Establish Extent of City and Other
Agency Funding Commitments
The City should determine to what extent it will
be able to contribute citywide funds to finance
new infrastructure in the Specific Plan Area.
In particular, the City and other parties should
determine which funds are available, including
State and federal grants and City impact fee funds.
Action 2.2: Consider and Assemble Financing
Mechanisms
The overall logic and premise of the Financing
Strategy should be considered and tested to
ensure that it is sound and feasible, given the
perspective of the involved parties, including the
City, landowners, developers, and other agencies.
Action 2.3: Determine the Magnitude and Timing
of Funding Needed
The timing and magnitude of costs will determine
to what extent land-secured financing or other
financing is required and the degree to which it
will be possible to fund improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Action 2.4: Prepare and Adopt Preferred
Financing Strategy
Based on the outcomes of previous actions, the
City should select a preferred Financing Strategy
and prepare a Financing Strategy document. The
Financing Strategy will provide a framework for
funding and implementing need Facilities to serve
the Specific Plan Area. Selection of the preferred
strategy should be consistent with the policies
and principles of the Specific Plan document and
provide assurance that necessary funding will
be available to fund Facilities, based on financial
feasibility analyses that account for industry
standards and market conditions and include input
from Specific Plan Area developers who will be
affected by the strategy.
Step 3: Establish Financing Mechanisms
Implementing the Financing Strategy within
the context of overall Specific Plan Area
implementation may require that the City establish
financing districts. Depending on the strategy
developed in concert with property owners, one or
more of the following actions may be necessary:
• Prepare and adopt an ordinance for a specific
plan development impact fee.
• Prepare and establish one or more CFDs,
Assessment Districts, or EIFDs.
• Prepare and establish maintenance and
services funding mechanisms.
• Prepare Development Agreements with all
developers in the Specific Plan Area.
A Development Agreement may be offered to all
developers in the Specific Plan Area and modified
to meet each developer’s particular circumstances.
The Development Agreement is viewed to be
necessary to convey development program
entitlements commensurate with the Specific Plan
Area in trade for the financial commitments that will
be asked of the developers (including participation
in a financing district and acceptance of the area
development impact fees).
Establishing new financing mechanisms typically
is required to be completed before approval of
the first final small lot subdivision map in a specific plan.

Step 4: Update Financing Strategy
Updates to the Financing Strategy may occur if
significant new information becomes available
regarding Backbone Infrastructure and other
Public Facilities cost estimates, land uses, funding
mechanisms, or funding strategies. In many
cases, any necessary updates to the Financing
Strategy are accomplished through updates and
revisions to documents that are required as part
of Financing Strategy implementation. An ongoing
administration and monitoring process should be
established to provide for implementation and
updating, if necessary, the Financing Strategy and
implementing documents.
Operations and Maintenance
This chapter addresses funding options for the
construction of Facilities with the purpose of
ensuring that sufficient funding is available to
cover the costs of improvements required to
implement the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan
Area also will require funding sources for ongoing
services and operations and maintenance costs.
There are several existing funding sources
available to fund ongoing services and operations
and maintenance costs throughout the Specific
Plan Area, including City General Fund revenues,
other regional and State taxes, user charges, and
Regional Transit (RT) fare revenue. In addition,
the City may determine that a Services CFD, a
district established to fund ongoing operations
and maintenance costs for Facilities, may be
implemented in the Specific Plan Area.

I. INTRODUCTION
This Historic Resources Analysis Report has been prepared to inform the cultural resources chapter of a program-level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) and Specific Plan (Stockton Boulevard Plan). The Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan area consists of a 4.8-mile stretch of Stockton Boulevard from Alhambra Boulevard to the southern border of the City of Sacramento. The Stockton Boulevard SNAP area (Neighborhood Study Area) generally includes neighborhoods within one mile of the Stockton Boulevard corridor, south of U.S. Highway 50, east of U.S. Highway 99, and north of 65th Avenue and the City boundary (Figure 1).
The Specific Plan area contains a variety of commercial, institutional, and residential buildings constructed between approximately 1900 and the present.
METHODOLOGY
In order to analyze impacts to historical and cultural resources in the Specific Plan Area, Page & Turnbull prepared a historic context, summarizing the development of the Stockton Boulevard corridor and surrounding neighborhoods, roughly from the founding of the City of Sacramento in the mid-19th century to the present. This historic context was developed using research gathered from various local repositories and online sources – including the Center for Sacramento History, the Sacramento Public Library, the Sacramento County Clerk/Recorder, Newspapers.com, the California Digital Newspaper Collection, Ancestry.com, the David Rumsey Map Collection, and SacMaps.com. Key primary sources consulted and cited in this report include city directories, census records, and historical newspapers.
The following documents and reports from the City of Sacramento were also reviewed for information regarding cultural resources in the Plan Area:

Potential impacts to historical and cultural resources were further analyzed based on the results of a data search conducted by City of Sacramento Preservation Planning and GIS staff for properties within the Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Area. Nearly all of the Specific Plan Area was developed more than 50 years ago, and many of the immediately adjacent neighborhoods in the larger Neighborhood Study Area consist of postwar tract housing. As such, the City of Sacramento’s property data search focused on the parcels in the Specific Plan Area, immediately facing Stockton Boulevard. Property data provided by the City of Sacramento included a list of properties within the Specific Plan Area that are listed in the California Historical Resources Information System’s Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD) for Sacramento County, as well as GIS mapping data, showing dates of construction for buildings within the Specific Plan Area. Page & Turnbull used this data to identify properties that are listed or have been previously determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) or California Register of (California Register). To supplement this list, Page & Turnbull conducted a search of properties located on Stockton Boulevard that are listed on the Sacramento Register of Historic and Cultural Resources.
In January 2022, Page & Turnbull completed a reconnaissance-level field survey to photograph and note the ages and general characteristics of buildings in the Neighborhood Study Area and Specific Plan Area. The field survey also helped identify areas where potential additional historic resources may exist. All photographs in this report were taken by Page & Turnbull in January 2022, unless otherwise noted.
II. HISTORIC CONTEXT
FOUNDING OF SACRAMENTO
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the Sacramento area was home to the Nisenan (also known as the southern Maidu). The territory of the Nisenan included the southern Sacramento Valley and stretched from the Sacramento River to the west, the North Fork Yuba River to the north, Consumnes River to the south, and the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the east. The Nisenan established central villages and smaller satellite villages along principal waterways. Two major villages, Sama and Momol, were located at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers within the present-day boundaries the City of Sacramento. A smaller satellite village, called Sa’cum, was located on a knoll at what is today Cesar Chavez Plaza.
The traditional ways of life of the Nisenan were disrupted by the arrival of Euro-American explorers.1 In 1808, Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga became the first European to see Sacramento.2Moraga 1 Ascent Environmental, Recirculated Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Capitol Annex Project, January 2020, 4.12-8. 2 Thor Severson, Sacramento, An Illustrated History: 1839 to 1874, From Sutter’s Fort to Capital City ([San Francisco]:
California Historical Society, 1973), 21.

named the area Sacramento after the Spanish word for sacrament, but deemed the area uninhabitable for a mission despite the existence of two major rivers. Spanish missionaries and early American explorers further investigated the area, but it remained unsettled for thirty more years.Diseases introduced by the newcomers in the 1830s decimated the native populations, wiping out entire villages.
3 In 1839, Swiss immigrant John Sutter established a settlement called New Helvetia (Helvetia being the Latin word for Switzerland) near the convergence of the Sacramento and American Rivers. 4 Mexican governor Juan Bautista Alvarado had given Sutter seventy-six square miles of land to establish a foothold on the frontier and discourage American encroachment. In order to be eligible for the land grant, Sutter became a citizen of Mexico in 1840 and was appointed as judge and representative of “Government at the Frontiers of the Rio Sacramento.”5 The remote location led Sutter to build a fort at New Helvetia for protection.
In an attempt to expand his valley empire, Sutter erected a sawmill at Coloma, which led to the accidental discovery of gold in the area in 1848. The subsequent Gold Rush brought a massive influx of miners and other immigrants to California. This event quickly overturned Sacramento’s ranch economy and contributed to the settlement’s rapid growth into a city.6 The proximity to the mouth of the American River made Sacramento an ideal port for goods coming upriver from San Francisco en route to the gold fields.7
By 1848, Sutter had amassed substantial debts and was at risk of losing his rancho. His son, John August Sutter, Jr., commissioned the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers to survey and plat the land between the embarcadero and the fort into lots that he could sell off to repay his father’s debts. The plan worked and established the city’s numbered and lettered gridiron plan.8 The lots sold quickly, and the city’s population rose rapidly from 150 in 1849 to 9,087 in the following year.
On February 27, 1850, the California Legislature offered a charter to Sacramento City, officially establishing the new municipality.9

Later that year, California was admitted to the Union, and for the first several years of statehood, the state government moved from city to city as various municipalities - including San Jose, Vallejo, Benicia, and Sacramento - vied to become the new state’s capital. Sacramento emerged as the logical choice because of its rising population and potential as an economic and transportation hub; it was chosen as the permanent capital city of California in 1854.10 But while the city’s location offered many advantages, it also exhibited a host of problems that threatened the city’s success and position as the state capital. Between 1850 and 1893, ten major floods devastated the city.11 Fires were a constant worry as well. The most devastating fire occurred in 1852 when 55 blocks of the city’s business district, approximately 70 percent the city’s building stock, went up in smoke. Another fire in 1854 destroyed 12 city blocks. These conflagrations led to the reconstruction of much of the city using fireproof brick or stone.12
Despite these events, Sacramento thrived. The combination of the Gold Rush and designation as the new state capital propelled Sacramento from a small frontier settlement into a rapidly growing city in less than a decade. The city was well connected by steamboat, stagecoaches, freight wagons, and the Pony Express. In 1856, Sacramento completed the first railroad in California with the construction of the Sacramento Valley Railroad, and in 1869 became the terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad. The arrival of the railroad attracted more merchants, making Sacramento the nexus of a thriving agricultural and food processing industry.
EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPPER STOCKTON ROAD
Stockton Boulevard traces its roots back to the California Gold Rush. In addition to spurring the development of Sacramento, the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma in 1848 spurred the development of numerous cities, towns, and smaller communities across the state, including Stockton, roughly 50 miles to the south. Stockton Boulevard, or the Upper Stockton Road as it was called in the 19th and early 20th centuries, served as one of two primary roads that connected Sacramento and Stockton. The Lower Stockton Road (now Franklin Boulevard) connected the two cities along a second route to the west (Figure 2).
Sacramento’s population expanded rapidly following the onset of the Gold Rush, first with the initial influx of prospective miners hoping to strike it rich in the nearby goldfields, and later as many of these individuals chose to permanently settle in the area. Sacramento’s growing population 10 Hallam, 68-69. 11 Karen Wilson, A Century of Protecting Natomas: The History of Reclamation District 1000, 1911-2011 (Virginia Beach, VA:

prompted the creation of new civic institutions. Recognizing a need for facilities to care for the growing city’s sick, injured, and dying, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors purchased 60 acres of land just outside Sacramento’s city limits along the Upper Stockton Road in 1869 for a county hospital and poorhouse. The original buildings were completed in 1871 and were replaced by newer facilities several times from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century (Figure 3). 13 LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Taking advantage of the Sacramento region’s fertile soil, much of the area immediately to the southeast of Sacramento’s original city boundaries was developed into farmland during the latter half of the 19th century. Orchards full of fruit trees and alfalfa farms dominated the landscape surrounding the Upper Stockton Road by the 1890s.14 Crops grown in the area included table and wine grapes, apples, pears, figs, peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and almonds.
Houses and estates of the men and women who owned these farms, as well as the smaller outbuildings associated with them, dotted the rural landscape. The area’s agrarian character attracted agricultural businesses to the Upper Stockton Road, such as the Harelson Food Company, which was located along the road between S and T Streets and sold feed supplies to local ranchers and farmers.15

Streetcar Suburbs
Development along the Upper Stockton Road corridor continued to be dominated by agricultural uses through the early 20th century. The area’s transformation into a patchwork of built-up residential subdivisions began with the introduction of the first streetcar lines into the area at the end of the 19th century. In 1887, real estate developer Edwin K. Alsip, owner of the Central Street Railway Company, purchased the 230-acre William Doyle ranch and extended his streetcar line into it with the intention of developing the area into a new residential subdivision, called Oak Park. The streetcar line ran from Sacramento’s main business district along Sacramento Boulevard (now Broadway) and 35th Street to a new public park, also known as Oak Park (now James McClatchy Park), less than one mile to the west of the Upper Stockton Road. In order to attract more residents to the new subdivision, an amusement park called Joyland was built in the park in 1894.16 Many of the early streetcar suburbs developed at the outskirts of Sacramento and relied on the area’s agricultural character and fertile soil to attract residents. The neighborhood east of Stockton Boulevard along present-day T Street was initially platted as the suburb of Fruit Vale in 1892. The subdivision was planned to feature individual lots that could each accommodate a small farm with a house and 20 to 40 fruit trees. The subdivision was never realized, and the area remained farmland 16 Page & Turnbull, “Sacramento Historic District Plans,” 2019, 283; Niki Kangas, “Joyland,” Midtown Monthly, February 1, 1010. .
A fire destroyed much of Joyland in 1920. The site was donated to the city in 1927 and subsequently converted into James McClatchy Park.

until 1908, when 250 acres of land in the same area were purchased by H. A. McClelland and developed into a new subdivision, called Elmhurst. The subdivision incorporated some of the concepts of the City Beautiful movement. Lots were arranged along a wide central boulevard with two central parks, Sunset Park and Sierra Vista Park, running down the middle and rows of elm trees that gave the neighborhood its name.17 Many of the single-family houses that were eventually built in Elmhurst were modest in scale and exhibited the subtle influence of the popular architectural styles of the first half of the 20th century, including the Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Minimal Traditional styles. The surviving Elmhurst neighborhood retains much of its original landscape design and homes.

Around roughly the same time, the Central Electric Realty Company began acquiring land between Sacramento and the town of Florin to the south with the intention of developing new residential suburbs along a planned electric rail line with freight and passenger service. In 1906, the company purchased an area of elevated agricultural land that had been previously owned by the Rich family on the east side of the Upper Stockton Road, approximately three and one-half miles from the Sacramento city limit at the time. Reportedly home to some of the oldest lemon trees in California, the Central Electric Realty Company and Brand-McClelland Company platted it into a subdivision called Lemon Hill.18 Advertisements promoted the fertility of the area’s soil and proximity to Sacramento as the perfect location to establish a small farm. The area “will grow almost anything,” 17 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 7-8. 18 “A Big Real Estate Deal,” Sacramento Star, 26 September 1906: 3.

the advertisements read. “You may never have such another opportunity for securing a farm almost at the gates of the City at such low prices and reasonable terms.”19 Developers continued to use the agricultural potential of the area south of Sacramento’s city limits to advertise new subdivisions, particularly in the area south of Fruitridge Boulevard, into the 1920s.20 Additional streetcar lines attracted the development of more residential subdivisions in the second decade of the 20th century. In 1910, George Peltier, a banker and real estate developer involved in the construction of interurban streetcar lines for the Central California Traction Company, developed the Colonial Heights subdivision. Located on the site of a former 240-acre vineyard owned by German immigrant Peter Roemer, the subdivision featured a palm tree-lined boulevard, called San Francisco Boulevard, at its main entrance.
21 Roemer’s estate, known locally as Roemer
Park, remained in its parklike grounds until 1952, when it was replaced by the Greenbrier Motel (now the Greens Motel). One house from the Roemer Estate, known locally as Roemer Castle or Loddick Castle, survives near the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Roemer Lane.22 Colonial Acres, immediately adjacent to Colonial Heights, was subdivided shortly afterward in 1915 by the J.C.
Carly Company, a prominent local developer (Figure 5).
23 The California State Fair & Agricultural Park
The abundance of open agricultural land to the southwest of Sacramento’s city limits appears to have attracted one of the state’s most prominent institutions and a major economic driver to Upper Stockton Road at the start of the 20th century. In 1909, the California State Fair relocated from its previous location in Capitol Park to a new site at the intersection of the Upper Stockton Road and Y Street (now Broadway).24 Intended for the annual exhibition of California’s abundant agricultural products, the State Fair’s new fairgrounds, known as Agricultural Park, included a racetrack and numerous buildings for the display of livestock and produce from across the state. 25 19 “Watch for Coupons Lemon Hill,” Sacramento Bee, 18 October 1906: 8. 20 “Map of Home Garden Acres,” Sacramento Public Library, Sacramento Room, 1923. 21 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 45-47. 22 Melisa Mourkas, Historic American Landscape Survey, “San Francisco Boulevard,” 2019. 23 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 45-47. 24 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 109. 25 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 119.

The announcement of the fair’s relocation to the Upper Stockton Road spurred the development of additional streetcar and freight rail lines into the area. One year after the new fairgrounds opened, the Central California Traction Company completed a new interurban streetcar line with passenger and freight service running down 2nd Avenue and the Upper Stockton Road from the Sacramento city center to Stockton (Figure 6). The Sacramento Electric Gas and Railway Company (later taken over by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company) added additional tracks to its existing lines that ran to the fairgrounds. Spur tracks from the main freight line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which ran east-west along R Street to the north of the new fairgrounds, were also extended into the area.26 Attracted by the fair, streetcar lines, and increasing residential development, a few one- or two-story commercial and small industrial businesses were built along the Upper Stockton Road by the early 20th century. These included garages, automobile repair shops, saloons, liquor stores, wood sheds, and other shops and storage facilities.27

Continued Growth & Annexation
The extension of streetcars and rail lines to the southeast of the City of Sacramento encouraged further residential development as well as commercial and industrial diversification. By 1911, the Southern Pacific Railroad ran east-west along R Street, while an interurban streetcar line ran north-south down 28th Street (Figure 8). Attracted by easy access to both transportation routes, Chicago-based canning company Libby, McNeil & Libby built a large new cannery at a site between the Upper Stockton Road, 31st Street (now Alhambra Boulevard), and R Street between 1912 and 1913 (Figure 9). Designed as the main distribution center for five of the company’s canneries in California, the cannery became one of Sacramento’s major employers and provided a stimulus for the local Historic Resources Analysis Report – Final Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Project Number 19415 and Specific Plan

agricultural industry, which began to grow more olives and tomatoes to serve the cannery.28 The cannery survives and has been rehabilitated as leasable office and commercial space.

Recognizing the enormous growth just outside its city limits, the City of Sacramento officially annexed the neighborhoods to the east and south of its original city boundary in 1911. This included neighborhoods in the Plan area as far south as 14th Avenue and as far east as 65th Street. It was the first time the city had expanded its boundaries since its founding in the mid-19th century. Following annexation, many street names in the newly annexed area were changed to align with Sacramento’s numbered and lettered street system.29 It was around this time that the Upper Stockton Road was renamed Stockton Boulevard.30

The Great Depression
Like most of the United States, development along Stockton Boulevard slowed but did not completely stop during the Great Depression. Federal New Deal programs, such as the Works Progress Administration (WPA), helped keep the local economy afloat through numerous projects it carried out in the Sacramento area. Much of the WPA’s work during this period took place at the California State Fairgrounds on Stockton Boulevard, including the construction of 14 new exhibit and administrative buildings, improvements to the fair’s grandstand, construction of new roads, and completion of landscaping and infrastructural improvements. The WPA’s work helped the California State Fair grow into the largest state fair in the United States during the 1930s. 31 Some private
construction continued in the area as well. In 1936, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company opened a new bottling plant near the State Fairgrounds at 2200 Stockton Boulevard (Figure 11). 32 The plant
became a prominent employer for the area. Although now vacant and significantly altered, the building survives in its original location.
Revenues and ridership of interurban rail service declined, partially as the result of the rising popularity of the automobile. This led the Central California Traction Company to end its service between Sacramento and Stockton in 1933.33 Passenger streetcar service running through the Colonial Heights neighborhood continued through the 1940s. 34 31 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 112-113; Christopher J.

WORLD WAR II & THE POSTWAR PERIOD
World War II brought Sacramento out of the Great Depression and introduced a new era of growth to the Stockton Boulevard corridor and surrounding areas. The war shifted the focus of Sacramento’s economy from the agricultural and railroad industries to one based on state and federal employment, military bases, and transportation. It also brought thousands of new residents to Sacramento, including veterans who were stationed in the area during the war and large numbers of African Americans from Southern states who were attracted to the availability to jobs at the area’s military bases and factories. Meanwhile, the increasing shift from streetcars to the automobile as the primary mode of transportation allowed workers at the major employment centers to live further from the city center.35 Streetcar service throughout Sacramento ended in 1946, and planning began shortly afterward on a system of highways and freeways crisscrossing the city, though they were not completed until the 1960s and 1970s.36
After World War II ended, Sacramento’s military bases continued to serve as a major source of employment for the city’s residents in the postwar period. In 1945, the U.S. Army Signal Depot (extant), responsible for repairing and maintaining high-tech military electronic equipment, relocated from its previous location at the Bercut-Richards Cannery on North 7th Street to a new site near the California State Fair grounds on Fruitridge Road between Power Inn Road and Florin Perkins Road. The depot – with its warehouses, administrative offices, barracks, shops, and other 35 Page & Turnbull, Historic District Plans, 29.

facilities – employed thousands of workers and brought new residents to the area southeast of Sacramento’s city center.37
Completion of a new factory for the Proctor and Gamble Manufacturing Company on the northeast side of Fruitridge Road and Power Inn Road, immediately to the north of the U.S. Army Signal Depot, brought another major employer in 1953. One of the company’s only two factories in the United States, it brought hundreds of new jobs to the area, further aiding the growth of Sacramento’s southeastern suburbs.38 Proctor & Gamble continues to operate out of the same location.
Postwar Housing Subdivisions
Sacramento’s booming postwar population, increasing housing demand, growing reliance on the automobile, and relocation of major employment bases from the city center led to development of much of the agricultural land in outlying areas, including those to the east and west of Stockton Boulevard, into sprawling new residential subdivisions. In the immediate postwar period, many of these new subdivisions were built out with small one-story Minimal Traditional houses that could be built quickly to meet the demand for housing. By the 1950s, as the immediate demand began to wane, larger houses, such as one-story Ranch style houses with rambling floorplans, increased in popularity. In contrast to early 20th-century subdivisions that were designed with a traditional gridiron of streets, these new subdivisions, such as Tallac Village and Colonial Village, often featured winding, curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs. Many of these postwar neighborhoods functioned as miniature cities and had their own schools, parks, libraries, and community centers to serve residents.39
As the population within these new subdivisions grew, the City of Sacramento annexed these new areas into the city limits, expanding its size at a rapid pace. By the late 1940s, subdivisions south of 14th Avenue, roughly as far south as 45th Avenue – such as Colonial Heights, Colonial Village, Tallac Village, Fruitridge Manor, and Lemon Hill – were annexed into the City of Sacramento (Figure 12).
Subdivisions south of 45th Avenue to Florin Road – such as Glen Elder and Lindale – were annexed in the 1950s.40

Auto-Oriented Commercial Development
To serve the expanding population in Sacramento’s southeastern neighborhoods, new shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment options sprang up along Stockton Boulevard, particularly where the street intersected major east-west thoroughfares that passed through adjacent neighborhoods, such as Fruitridge Road, Lemon Hill Avenue, Elder Creek Road, and Florin Road.
Shopping centers, including the Fruitridge Shopping Center on Stockton Boulevard and Fruitridge Historic Resources Analysis Report – Final Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Project Number 19415 and Specific Plan

Road (demolished in 2019) and Tallac Village Square Shops at 14th Avenue and 60th Street (extant), were frequently anchored by a large supermarket surrounded by several smaller shops. Many supermarkets, including Loverde’s Market and Loverde’s Variety and the Bel-Air owned by the Wong family, were located along Fruitridge Road.41 Reflecting the growth of car-culture following World War II, many of the postwar commercial establishments constructed during this period often featured large parking lots, drive-thrus, large plate glass windows, Modernist architectural designs, and eye-catching illuminated signage to appeal to passing drivers. Such establishments along the Stockton Boulevard corridor included the Fruitridge drive-in movie theater at the northwest corner of the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Fruitridge Road, Burich’s Grill and Charcoal Broiler at 4217 Stockton Boulevard, and the Leaning Tower of Pizza at 2033 Stockton Boulevard.42 Many of these postwar commercial developments have been demolished or significantly remodeled since their construction.
Shifting Demographics
During the postwar period, the demographics of many of the neighborhoods along Stockton Boulevard shifted dramatically. While many of the neighborhoods on the east side of the street remained predominately white during this period, those on the west side of the street to Franklin Boulevard became increasingly racially diverse.
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 not white, and some neighborhoods – such as Tahoe Park, Tallac Village, and Fruitridge Manor – had no African American residents.
However, African Americans, many of whom worked at the area’s military bases, had begun to establish a small foothold in the Oak Park neighborhood, making up approximately eight percent of the neighborhood’s population in 1950.
43 Over the next decade, many of Sacramento’s middle-class families and businesses relocated from older neighborhoods in and near the central city to the new subdivisions emerging at the city’s outskirts. The migration of middle-class residents from older neighborhoods near the Stockton Boulevard corridor, such as Oak Park, opened the door to African American residents, many of 41 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 34, 70. Both Loverde’s Variety and Loverde’s Market appear to have been demolished or altered beyond recognition. The Bel-Air on Fruitridge Road has also been significantly remodeled since its original construction and no longer appears as it did during the postwar period. 42 The Fruitridge Drive-in movie theater was demolished at an unknown date. Burich’s Grill and Charcoal Broiler survives but has been significantly remodeled and bears little resemblance to its appearance in the postwar period. The Leaning Tower of Pizza restaurant survives and has been somewhat altered. 43 U.S. Bureau of the Census, “U.S. Censuses of Population and Housing: 1950, Volume III, Census Tracts, Sacramento, Calif.,” 1950.

whom had been pushed out of Sacramento’s downtown area by urban renewal projects and were prohibited from settling in most newer neighborhoods by discriminatory housing practices. 44 By 1960, although many of the neighborhoods on the east side of Stockton Boulevard remained predominately white, neighborhoods on the west side of the street continued to become increasingly racially mixed. The concentration of non-white residents in these areas ranged from approximately 20 percent in North Oak Park and nearly 50 percent of the population in Central Oak Park to over 80 percent in the area southeast of Fruitridge Boulevard and Stockton Boulevard. 45 One of the predominately Black neighborhoods that emerged during this period was the Glen Elder subdivision, located to the southwest of the intersection of Elder Creek Road and Power Inn Road.
Developed in 1954 by Alcan Pacific Corporation and Sun River Homes, Glen Elder was the first and only subdivision in Sacramento County to be developed specifically as an interracial neighborhood where residents of all racial backgrounds were welcome.46 Advertisements for the modest Ranch style houses in the subdivision promoted the sale of “homes for all vets.”47 Nevertheless, residents still felt the impacts of discriminatory planning practices. Access to Glen Elder was limited. Few roads entered or exited the subdivision so that residents were forced to take a roundabout route to reach the main shopping and business areas nearby on Florin Road. In addition, a fence separated Glen Elder and the predominantly white neighborhood of Lindale to the south until 1975.48 44 Page & Turnbull, “Sacramento Historic District Plans,” 2019, 283. 45 U.S. Bureau of the Census, “U.S. Censuses of Population and Housing: 1960, Census Tracts, Sacramento, Calif.,” 1960. 46 GEI Consultants, Inc., “Mid-Century Modern Context Statement and Survey Results,” 2-31. 47 Advertisement, Sacramento Bee, 24 August 1955: 40. 48 “Fence Parting Glen Elder, Lindale Areas Will Go,” Sacramento Bee, 21 January 1975: 14.

LATE 20TH CENTURY
Stockton Boulevard and the adjacent neighborhoods continued to evolve in the late 20th century. In 1961, Highway 99 was completed to the east of Stockton Boulevard. The new highway replaced Stockton Boulevard as the primary north-south route between the cities of Sacramento and Stockton and diverted traffic away from the old overland corridor.49 Along with Interstate 50, which was completed to the north of the Plan area in 1972, Highway 99 created a barrier that cut the southeast area of Sacramento off from the rest of the city (Figure 13 and Figure 14). 50 Although passenger streetcar service along Stockton Boulevard had ended in 1946, freight rail service continued until the 1960s. All streetcar service along Stockton Boulevard ceased by 1966, when the tracks running down the street were removed.51 49 Historic Highway 99, Sacramento to Stockton,” Stockton Boulevard Partnership, accessed December 2, 2021, https://stocktonblvdpartnership.org/historic-highway-99-sacramento-to-stockton/. 50 William Burg, “A Brief History of Oak Park,” Midtown Monthly, February 1, 2010, http://www.midtownmonthly.net/life/a-brief-history-of-oak-park/; “U.S. Highway 50,” California Highways, accessed December 22, 2021, https://www.cahighways.org/ROUTE050.html. 51 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 83-85; William Burg, Sacramento: Then & Now (Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, 2008), 70.

Further changes to the Stockton Boulevard corridor’s economic base took place in the 1960s. By this period, the California State Fair had become landlocked as the neighborhoods surrounding it filled out. Needing more space, the California State Fair relocated to a new site at Cal Expo to the north of the Capitol City Freeway in 1968.
52 While the relocation of the fair removed one of the area’s most prominent economic drivers, it also enabled the growth of another. The same year, the Sacramento County Hospital transitioned into a teaching hospital for the University of California, Davis. A few years later, in 1973, the University took over ownership of the hospital and began expanding its medical facilities into the former state fairgrounds.53 Although most of the fair buildings were demolished, two buildings, Governor’s Hall and the Agricultural Pavilion, survive at the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Broadway.54 The UC Davis Medical Center subsequently developed the site into a nationally recognized academic medical center and a major employment base for Sacramento. 52 “Take Me to the Fair: Then and Now,” Stockton Boulevard Partnership, October 5, 2021, accessed December 22, 2021, https://stocktonblvdpartnership.org/take-me-to-the-fair-then-and-now/. 53 Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, Images of America, 105-106. 54 “Take Me to the Fair: Then and Now,” Stockton Boulevard Partnership, October 5, 2021, accessed December 22, 2021, https://stocktonblvdpartnership.org/take-me-to-the-fair-then-and-now/.

Changes were also underway in Oak Park. Social tensions erupted in confrontations between local residents and the police, first in riots in 1969 and again in 1970 after the shooting of a police officer resulted in the arrest of four Black Panther Party members.55 After the riots, several of Oak Park’s long-standing businesses closed down and never reopened. A series of urban renewal projects after the riots led to the demolition of portions of Oak Park’s main business district along 35th Street.56 The neighborhood has more recently experienced a period of urban revitalization. An influx of Latino and Asian residents and an increase in white collar jobs, especially at the nearby U.C. Davis Medical Center, have shifted the neighborhood’s demographics and brought new residents and businesses to the area.57
Further to the south, a vibrant Vietnamese community developed along a roughly two-mile stretch of Stockton Boulevard near its intersection with Fruitridge Road, as refugees fleeing the Vietnam War settled in the area in the 1970s. Businesses catering to Sacramento’s Vietnamese-American community soon lined the street. Among the first of the Vietnamese commercial developments in the area were the Pacific Rim Plaza at 65th Street and Stockton Boulevard and the Vinh Phat 55 Burg, “A Brief History of Oak Park.” 56 Burg, “A Brief History of Oak Park.” 57 Robin Datel, “Central Oak Park Walking Tour, Sacramento, California,” (brochure, California State University Sacramento, Department of Geography), 5.

58 In 2010, the local community asked the Sacramento City Council to formally designate the area as “Little Saigon.” The retail district contains businesses that specialize in goods and services not only from Vietnam but from countries throughout Asia, including China, India, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Korea.59 The businesses are typically located in strip malls with large parking lots.
Additional changes to the economic base of the area surrounding Stockton Boulevard took place in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1980, the Libby, McNeil and Libby Cannery closed. 60 The U.S. Army Signal
Depot was leased to Packard Bell in 1995. At the time, it was the company’s only manufacturing plant in United States.61
The primary transportation thoroughfares in the Plan area – including Stockton Boulevard, Fruitridge Road, and Florin Road – remain dominated by strip malls and auto-centric development in the 21st century. Many of the post-war and mid-century commercial developments have been demolished and replaced with new strip malls or big box stores or significantly altered. This includes the Fruitridge Shopping Center, which was demolished between 2019 and 2020 and replaced with a new strip mall.62 Remaining undeveloped pockets of the Plan area to the east and west of Stockton Boulevard continue to be filled in with new residential developments. Small subdivisions of modern two-story single-family residences have been constructed, particularly along Lemon Hill Avenue, Morrison Creek, and Elder Creek Avenue to the east of the 65th Street Expressway. A few multi-family developments have also been completed, such as the Mutual Housing at Lemon Hill development at 6000 Lemon Hill Avenue.

III. REGULATORY SETTING
This section examines the national, state, and local regulatory frameworks for the evaluation, designation, and design review of historic resources in Sacramento.
National Regulations
NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, 80 Stat. 915, 16 U.S.C. 470 et seq., as amended, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to expand and maintain a National Register of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture. The National Register of Historic Places (National Register) is an authoritative guide to be used by Federal, State, and local governments, private groups and citizens to identify the Nation’s cultural resources and to indicate what properties should be considered for protection from destruction or impairment.
A “historic property” is any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. Historic properties include artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and that meet the National Register criteria (36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 800 Protection of Historic Properties, Section 800.16 Definitions l 1).

NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
Overseen by the National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, the National Register was authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act as amended. Its listings encompass all National Historic Landmarks as well as historic areas administered by NPS.
National Register guidelines for evaluation of significance were developed to be flexible and to recognize accomplishments of all who have made significant contributions to the nation’s history and heritage. Its criteria were designed to guide State and local governments, Federal agencies, and others in evaluating potential entries in the National Register. For a property to be listed or determined eligible for listing, it must be demonstrated as possessing integrity and meeting at least one of the following criteria. It must be demonstrated that:
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
A. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
B. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
D. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Integrity is defined in National Register Bulletin 15: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, as “the ability of a property to convey its significance. To be listed in the National Register…a property must not only be shown to be significant under the National Register criteria, but it also must have integrity” (U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 1995). The seven aspects of integrity are location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
The National Register guidance asserts that properties be at least 50 years old to be considered for eligibility. Properties completed less than 50 years before evaluation must be “exceptionally important” (Criteria Consideration G) to be considered eligible for listing.

State Regulations
CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES
The California Register of Historical Resources is an inventory of significant architectural, archaeological, and historical resources in the State of California. Resources can be listed in the California Register through a number of methods. State Historical Landmarks and National Register-listed properties are automatically listed in the California Register. Properties can also be nominated to the California Register by local governments, private organizations, or citizens. The evaluative criteria used by the California Register for determining eligibility are closely based on those developed by the National Park Service for the National Register of Historic Places.
To be eligible for the California Register, a cultural resource must be significant at the local, state, and/or federal level under one or more of the following four criteria:
1. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage;
2. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
In addition to being significant under one or more of these criteria, a resource must retain enough of its historic character and appearance to be recognizable as a historical resource and be able to convey the reasons for its significance (CCR Title 14 Section 4852(c)). According to California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Bulletin No. 6, “In order to understand the historic importance of a resource, sufficient time must have passed to obtain a scholarly perspective on the events or individuals associated with the resource. A resource less than 50 years old may be considered for listing in the California Register if it can be demonstrated that sufficient time has passed to understand its historical importance” (California Office of Historic Preservation, 2011).
CALIFORNIA STATE LANDMARKS
Designated California Historical Landmarks are numbered sequentially as they are listed by the State Historical Resources Commission. California Historical Landmarks numbered 770 and above are automatically listed in the California Register. According to PRC Section 5031(a), to be eligible for California Historical Landmark designation, a property must be of statewide historical importance Historic Resources Analysis Report – Final Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Project Number 19415 and Specific Plan
PAGE & TURNBULL 32 August 2023
and must demonstrate its statewide significance by meeting one of the following three requirements:
1. The property is the first, last, only, or most significant historical property of its type in the region. The regions are Southern California, Central California, and Northern California. If a property has lost its historic appearance (integrity), it may still be listed as a site.
2. The property is associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California.
3. The property is a prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in a region of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.
An architectural landmark must have excellent physical integrity, including integrity of location. An architectural landmark generally will be considered on its original site, particularly if its significance is basically derived from its design relationship to its site.

California Points of Historical Interest are “sites, buildings, features, or events that are of local (city or county) significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific or technical, religious, experimental, or other value.” The effects of designation as a California Point of Historical Interest are limited protection and environmental review under CEQA, eligibility for property tax reduction through Mills Act, eligibility under the State Historic Building Code and a small enamel directional sign through Caltrans district office. To be eligible for designation, a resource must meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within the local geographic region (City or County).
2. Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of the local area.
3. A prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in the local region of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.
No historical resource may be designated as both a California State Landmark and a California Point of Historical Interest. If the resource qualifies as a State Landmark, then the Point designation is removed.

PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE, SECTIONS 5024 AND 5024.5
Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 5024 and 5024.5 are part of a state program to preserve state-owned historical resources and apply to properties owned by California state agencies.
PRC Section 5024 requires state agencies to evaluate whether buildings owned by the State and under their operation are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or eligible for designation as a California Historical Landmark. State agencies are also responsible for maintaining an inventory of any eligible or listed resources and providing annual updates to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) so that newly evaluated and/or listed properties may be included in the Master List of State-Owned Historical Resources. PRC Section 5024 also requires state agencies to manage all historical resources in a way that retains their defining historic characteristics.
PRC Section 5024.5 requires state agencies to consult with the SHPO before proceeding with a project that involves any state-owned building listed on the Master List of State-Owned Historical Resources. The SHPO must comment on a project and must state whether the proposed action will adversely affect the properties. If a substantial adverse effect in the significance of a historical resource is identified, the SHPO and the head of the state agency with jurisdiction over the resource must consult on “prudent and feasible measures that will eliminate or mitigate the adverse effects.” Mediation by the Office of Planning and Research is possible, if the SHPO and the affected state agency cannot agree.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is State legislation (codified in Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000 et seq.) which provides for the development and maintenance of a high quality environment for the present-day and future through the identification of significant environmental effects. CEQA applies to projects proposed to be undertaken or requiring approval from State or local government agencies. CEQA requires the government agency, also called the lead agency, to determine if a project would have a significant effect on historical resources, unique archaeological resources, or tribal cultural resources.
A building may qualify as a historic resource if it falls within at least one of four categories listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a). The four categories are:
1. A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.).
Historic Resources Analysis Report – Final Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Project Number 19415 and Specific Plan
PAGE & TURNBULL 34 August 2023
2. A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in Section 5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting the requirements of section 5024.1 (g) of the Public Resources Code, shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant.
3. Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852).
The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, not included in a local register of historical resources (pursuant to section 5020.1(k) of the Pub. Resources Code), or identified in an historical resources survey (meeting the criteria in section 5024.1(g) of the Pub. Resources Code) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be an historical resource as defined in Pub. Resources Code sections 5020.1(j) or 5024.1.

CITY OF SACRAMENTO HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM
The City of Sacramento enacted its first preservation ordinance in 1975. The ordinance established the City’s historic preservation program, including the establishment of a preservation commission, preservation director, and preservation staff responsible for implementing the preservation element of the City’s general plan. It also established the Sacramento Register of Historic and Cultural Resources (the Sacramento Register), a local inventory of significant architectural, archaeological, and historical resources.
Sacramento Register of Historic and Cultural Resources
The evaluative criteria used to determine a property’s eligibility for listing on the Sacramento Register are stated in section 17.604.210 of the City’s municipal code and are closely based on the eligibility criteria developed for the National Register and California Register. To be eligible for individual listing on the Sacramento Register, an individual property must meet the following requirements:
Historic Resources Analysis Report – Final Stockton Boulevard Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) Project Number 19415 and Specific Plan
PAGE & TURNBULL 37 August 2023
1. Requirements.
a. The nominated resource meets one or more of the following criteria:
i. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of the history of the city, the region, the state or the nation; ii. It is associated with the lives of persons significant in the city’s past; iii. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction;
iv. It represents the work of an important creative individual or master; v. It possesses high artistic values; or
vi. It has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in the prehistory or history of the city, the region, the state or the nation; b. The nominated resource has integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship and association. Integrity shall be judged with reference to the particular criterion or criteria specified in subsection A.1.a of this section;
c. The nominated resource has significant historic or architectural worth, and its designation as a landmark is reasonable, appropriate and necessary to promote, protect and further the goals and purposes of this chapter.
Preservation Site Plan and Design Review Process
Projects proposed for properties that are listed or nominated to the Sacramento Register are subject to the City’s Preservation Site Plan and Design Review Process. If a property has been designated as a historic Landmark, or is located within a Historic District, City preservation staff are responsible for overseeing the Site Plan and Design Review and process prior to an applicant applying for a building permit. Preservation staff may also be involved reviewing potentially eligible properties as part of the city-wide Site Plan and Design Review process.
If the work involves the exterior of a building, construction on the site, or involves significant, publicly accessible interiors, then a Planning Entitlement Application for Preservation, Site Plan and Design Review will likely be required from the City’s Planning Division. Many small projects, such as maintenance, are exempt from Site Plan & Design Review.63 63 “Historic Preservation,” City of Sacramento, accessed February 11, 2022, https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Community-Development/Planning/Urban-Design/Preservation.

IV. DESIGNATED, ELIGIBLE, AND POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE
HISTORIC RESOURCES
This section provides a summary of properties in the Specific Plan Area that are designated or eligible for listing in national, state, or local historic registers. It also provides a high-level analysis of potentially eligible properties identified in the Specific Plan Area and Neighborhood Study Area.
Listed & Eligible Historic Resources in the Specific Plan Area According to Sacramento County BERD records provided by the City, one property inside the Plan Area, the Libby, McNeil, and Libby Fruit and Vegetable Cannery at 1724 Stockton Boulevard, is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). All properties listed on the National Register are also automatically listed on the California Register. One property within the Plan Area, the Colonial Theater at 3522 Stockton Boulevard, is listed on the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), but not the National Register. Six buildings at the CalTrans Equipment Headquarters at 3400 R Street are listed on the Master List of State-owned Historical Resources. To supplement the list of properties listed in the BERD, Page & Turnbull conducted a search of properties located on Stockton Boulevard that are listed on the Sacramento Register of Historic and Cultural Resources (Sacramento Register). Only one property, the Libby, McNeil, and Libby Fruit and Vegetable Cannery, is listed on the Sacramento Register. In total, there are eight individual historic resources in the Specific Plan Area that are listed on local, state, and/or national registers.
Listed Historic Resources within the Stockton Boulevard Plan Area are summarized in Table 3.1.

According to the data provided by the City, several properties within the Specific Plan Area have also been determined to be eligible for individual listing on the local, state, or national registers. Two properties, the Colonial Theatre at 3522 Stockton Boulevard and Coca Cola Bottling Plant at 2200 Stockton Boulevard, are eligible for listing on the National Register. Three properties have been determined eligible for local listing; however, one of these, the Rotas Grocery/Cake Art Bakery at 2330 Stockton Boulevard, does not appear to be extant. In total, four properties, in addition to the California Register-listed Colonial Theatre, have been determined eligible for listing on the local, state, and/or national registers.

Potentially Eligible Historic Resources within the Neighborhood Study Area The following analysis of potential areas where historic resources could exist within the Stockton Boulevard Specific Plan Area is based on data received from the City of Sacramento and a reconnaissance survey conducted by Page & Turnbull in January 2022. Data provided by the City primarily consisted of the previously described BERD records for Sacramento County and dates of construction, sourced from the City’s GIS database, for properties located within the Specific Plan Area. This information was then mapped to show when individual buildings in the area were constructed (Figure 16).

The City’s data indicates that the existing buildings within the Specific Plan Area were constructed between roughly 1900 and the present. The vast majority are commercial buildings, although a few small residential buildings exist along some areas of Stockton Boulevard. Two buildings constructed for the California State Fair, Governor’s Hall and the Agricultural Pavilion, survive at the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Broadway (Figure 17 and Figure 18). A grouping of smaller commercial and residential buildings, dating to between 1900 and 1940, is located between Broadway and 20th Avenue, with the highest concentration located between 10th Ave and 14th Avenue and centered around the Colonial Theater (Figure 19 and Figure 20). This concentration reflects the development of the adjacent neighborhoods of Tahoe Park and Colonial Heights as streetcar suburbs in the early 20th century. Commercial development along this stretch of Stockton Boulevard mostly consists of rows of small one-story buildings with zero lot line setbacks from the street. South of 20th Avenue, properties along Stockton Boulevard appear to have been primarily built after World War II and are generally larger in scale. Many consist of strip malls, shopping centers, auto-related businesses, and other commercial establishments with large, paved parking lots, again reflecting the development of the adjacent areas during the more automobile-centric postwar period. A few intact motels and roadside signs survive along the corridor as well (Figure 21 to Figure 24).

The reconnaissance survey conducted by Page & Turnbull, however, showed that many of the commercial buildings built along Stockton Boulevard, prior to the 1970s, have been highly altered or demolished. Such physical alterations and recent demolitions are not reflected in the City’s data. For example, City property records show several properties dating to between the 1940s and 1960s located on the southeast side of the intersection of Stockton Boulevard and Fruitridge Road (historically the site of the Fruitridge Shopping Center). Field surveys showed that these properties were recently demolished and replaced with a new shopping center (Figure 22). Other individual properties along the street that are over 50 years old have been remodeled, so that they no longer reflect their original style and design. As a result of such changes over time, well-preserved examples of commercial buildings constructed along Stockton Boulevard that were built more than 50 years ago appear to be relatively rare, particularly south of 20th Street.
Based on Page & Turnbull’s reconnaissance survey and a review of other documents provided by the City of Sacramento, additional historic resources likely exist in the wider Neighborhood Study Area to the east and west of Stockton Boulevard. The neighborhoods north of 21st Avenue – including Elmhurst, Oak Park, Tahoe Park, and Colonial Heights – contain a rich variety of single-family houses dating to their development as streetcar suburbs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The locally designated Oak Park Historic District, to the west of Stockton Boulevard, preserved Oak Park neighborhood’s commercial center along Broadway.
However, the streets to the north and south of Broadway also contain a large collection of houses dating to the neighborhood’s original period of development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Figure 25). The Elmhurst neighborhood, along T Street between Stockton Boulevard and approximately 53rd Street, contains a cohesive grouping of early 20th century houses arranged around a wide boulevard with two parks forming a landscaped central median (Figure 26). Another cohesive neighborhood of early 20th-century houses planned around a wide landscaped boulevard exists in the Colonial Heights neighborhood along San Francisco Boulevard between Stockton Boulevard and 55th Street (Figure 27). In 2013, San Francisco Boulevard was recorded and evaluated for historic significance in a California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 form and determined to be eligible for listing on the Sacramento Register and California Register for its association with the pattern of early 20th century development that evolved from the New City Planning Movement and as a representation of 20th century residential development. 64 A few early 20th-century institutional buildings, such as the Wesley United Methodist Church at 5010 15th Avenue, also remain within the Neighborhood Study Area (Figure 28).

preserved postwar commercial and residential development survives in the Tallac Village neighborhood, near the intersection of 14th Avenue and 60th Street, including the Tallac Village shopping center, Village Drive-In restaurant, and surrounding collection of Minimal Traditional houses (Figure 28 and Figure 29). This concentration reflects the type of residential development that characterized many subdivisions in the postwar period, but which has become increasingly rare as similar developments have been demolished or remodeled.

Research conducted to inform the historic context in an earlier section of this report also indicated that greater study should be undertaken to determine if there are potential historic districts or individual historic resources in neighborhoods, such as Glen Elder and Little Saigon, that appear to have social or cultural significance to the history of ethnic communities in Sacramento.
Summary
In total, there are eight individual historic resources in the Specific Plan Area that are listed on local, state, and/or national registers.
According to City property data and lists of existing eligible and designated historic resources, there are a total of eight individual historic resources within the Specific Plan Area that are listed on the local, state, and/or national registers and an additional four properties, that have been determined eligible for listing. City data, locations of existing eligible and designated historic resources, historic research, and reconnaissance survey efforts indicate that the highest concentration of potential historic resources is likely located immediately along Stockton Boulevard, north of 20th Street. Some well-preserved residential neighborhoods that were developed as streetcar suburbs survive at the north end of the broader Neighborhood Study Area. Due to the existence of large expanses of tract housing in the neighborhoods roughly one mile on either side of Stockton Boulevard, particularly south of 21st Avenue, individual historic resources east and west of Stockton Boulevard are expected to be relatively rare. They will likely consist of individual commercial buildings located along secondary east-west commercial arteries, such as 14th Avenue, 21st Avenue, or Fruitridge Road, or individual properties that predate the development of the existing residential subdivisions.
However, due the accumulation of exterior alterations over time, the historic integrity of these properties will need to be closely considered.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
This final environmental impact report (Final EIR) contains the public and agency comments received during the public review comment period for the City of Sacramento Stockton Boulevard Plan (project) Draft EIR.
The EIR is an informational document intended to disclose to the Lead Agency, the City of Sacramento (City), and the public the environmental consequences of approving and implementing the Stockton Boulevard Plan or one of the alternatives to the project described in the Draft EIR. All written comments received during the public review period (June 21 through August 7, 2024) are addressed in this Final EIR. During the public review period, the City received a total of six comment letters from public agencies.
The responses in this Final EIR clarify, correct, and/or amplify text in the Draft EIR, as appropriate. Also included are text changes made at the initiative of the Lead Agency. These changes (summarized in Chapter 3) do not alter the conclusions of the Draft EIR.
1.2 BACKGROUND
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City released a notice of preparation (NOP) on July 8, 2021, for the required 30-day review period. The purpose of the NOP was to provide notification that an EIR for the project was being prepared and to solicit guidance on the scope and content of the document. The City held a public scoping meeting on July 20, 2021, to solicit comments regarding the scope of the EIR. The Draft EIR was circulated for public review and comment for a period of 45 days from June 21 through August 7, 2024.
Two public agencies, the California Department of Transportation and the Airport Land Use Commission, provided written comments on issues evaluated in the Draft EIR. This Final EIR has been prepared to respond to all comments received, consistent with Sections 15089 and 15132 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Responses to each of the comments received are provided in Chapter 2, “Comments and Responses,” of this Final EIR.
The comments and responses that make up the Final EIR, in combination with the Draft EIR, as amended by the text changes, constitute the “EIR” that will be considered for certification by the City Planning and Design Commission and City Council.
1.3 CEQA REQUIREMENTS
The contents of a Final EIR are specified in Sections 15089 and 15132 of the State CEQA Guidelines, which states that the Final EIR shall consist of:
a) The Draft EIR or a revision of the draft.
b) Comments and recommendations received on the Draft EIR either verbatim or in summary. c) A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR.
Introduction Ascent
City of Sacramento
1-2 Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR
d) The responses of the Lead Agency to significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process.
e) Any other information added by the lead agency.
The Lead Agency must provide each agency that commented on the Draft EIR with a copy of the Lead Agency’s response to their comments a minimum of 10 days before certifying the Final EIR.
Section 15088.5(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that a lead agency must recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the draft EIR for public review under Section 15087 but before certification. The Guidelines clarify that “[n]ew information added to an EIR is not “significant” unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project’s proponents have declined to implement.” Examples of significant new information requiring recirculation include:
a) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
b) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. c) A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it.
d) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. (Mountain Lion Coalition v. Fish and Game Com. (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1043).
Recirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR.
1.4 USE OF THE FINAL EIR
The Final EIR serves as the environmental document to inform the Lead Agency’s consideration of approval of the Stockton Boulevard Plan, either in whole or in part, or one of the alternatives to the project discussed in the Draft EIR.
As required by Section 15090 (a) (1)-(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency, in certifying a Final EIR, must make the following three determinations:
1. The Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA.
2. The Final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the Lead Agency, and the decision-making body reviewed and considered the information in the Final EIR prior to approving the project.
3. The Final EIR reflects the Lead Agency’s independent judgment and analysis.
As required by Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines, no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified that identifies one or more significant environmental Ascent Introduction
City of Sacramento
Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR 1-3
effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings (Findings of Fact) for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding supported by substantial evidence in the record. The possible findings are:
1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
2. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency.
3. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.
Additionally, pursuant to Section 15093(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, when a Lead Agency approves a project that would result in significant unavoidable impacts that are disclosed in the EIR, the agency must state in writing the reasons supporting the action. The Statement of Overriding Considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the Lead Agency’s administrative record.
The Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared for the project and is available as part of the staff report prepared as part of the hearing process.
1.5 PROJECT UNDER REVIEW
The Stockton Boulevard Plan covers a developed area of the City of Sacramento southeast of downtown, which is centrally located within the greater Sacramento region. There are two components to the Stockton Boulevard Plan: a Specific Plan and a Neighborhood Action Plan.
The Specific Plan provides a planning framework for making decisions about development and other activities within the Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan Area is approximately 353 acres, consisting of properties along a 4.5-mile-long stretch of the Stockton Boulevard corridor, from Alhambra Boulevard to 65th Street. The Specific Plan includes land use regulations and policies designed to streamline the development process within the Specific Plan Area and that are consistent with the City of Sacramento’s 2040 General Plan.
The Neighborhood Action Plan, which covers the Specific Plan Area and 23 surrounding residential neighborhoods (referred to as the Neighborhood Study Area), includes desired “Priority Actions.” Priority Actions are measures, procedures, or programs that are consistent with the 2040 General Plan and may, but not necessarily would, be carried forward by the community, the City, or a combination of the two. The Neighborhood Action Plan acts as an information resource for future planning and decision making, but does not mandate any one action nor include any specific project commitments.
Adoption of the Neighborhood Action Plan does not authorize development or any other improvements that would not otherwise be allowed within the Neighborhood Study Area. As a result, the Neighborhood Action Plan does not have the potential to result in physical environmental effects.
Accordingly, the Draft EIR’s analysis focused on the Specific Plan.
1.6 SUMMARY OF TEXT CHANGES
Chapter 3, “Revisions to the Draft EIR,” of this Final EIR identifies all changes made to the document by section. These text changes provide additional clarity in response to comments received on the Draft EIR, but do not change the significance of the conclusions presented in the Draft EIR.

1.7 RESPONSES TO COMMENTS
A list of public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR is included in Chapter 2 in this Final EIR. During the public comment period, the City received six letters from public agencies. Section 15088(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines specifies that the focus of the responses to comments shall be on the disposition of significant environmental issues. Responses are not required on comments regarding the merits of the Specific Plan or on issues not related to environmental impacts. Comments on the merits or other comments that do not raise environmental issues are noted in the responses and will be reviewed by the City Council before any action on whether to approve the Stockton Boulevard Plan.
When a comment does not directly pertain to the environmental issues analyzed in the Draft EIR, does not address the adequacy of the analysis contained in the Draft EIR, or does not challenge a conclusion of the Draft EIR, the response will note the comment and provide additional information where possible. Responses to comments received appear in Chapter 2 of this Final EIR. Each comment letter is numbered and presented with brackets indicating how the letter has been divided into individual comments. Each comment is given a binomial with the number of the comment letter appearing first, followed by the comment number. For example, comments in Letter 1 are numbered 1- 1, 1-2, 1-3, and so on. Immediately following the letter are responses, each with binomials that correspond to the bracketed comments.
1.8 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires mitigation monitoring plans for any mitigation measures. These plans, which are generally adopted upon approval of a project, describe the actions that must take place to implement each mitigation measure, the timing of those actions, and the entities responsible for implementing and monitoring the actions.
The Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) includes all of the mitigation measures required of the project included in the Draft EIR. A copy of the MMP is provided as an attachment to the Findings of Fact. If the City chooses to approve the Stockton Boulevard Plan or one of the alternatives described in the Draft EIR, then the City Council will adopt the MMP at the same time it adopts its CEQA Findings of Fact, as required by Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT LETTER 2
2-1 The comment provides introductory text and outlines the Central Valley RWQCB’s responsibilities/authority. The comment does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR; therefore, no further response is required.
2-2 The comment provides background on the Basin Plan and states that the environmental review document should evaluate potential impacts to both surface and groundwater quality. Impacts related to water quality are discussed in Section 1.3.1, “Environmental Issue Areas Not Evaluated in Detail,” of the Draft EIR (pages 1-5 and 1-6). Development within the Specific Plan Area would be required to comply with several regulations designed to reduce or eliminate construction-related water quality effects, including the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Construction Permit and General Order for Dewatering. These regulations would include a water pollution control plan and a stormwater pollution prevention plan. The Specific Plan Area is highly developed and projects under the Specific Plan would not result in a substantial increase in impervious surfaces. The operation of development within the Specific Plan Area would not substantially increase runoff that would result in significant impacts to water quality. Because the Specific Plan would not result in significant impacts related to hydrology and water quality.
2-3 The comment provides an overview of potential permitting requirements related to maintaining water quality that may apply to the development within the Specific Plan. Applicable regulatory requirements are provided as part of the hydrology and water quality impacts discussion in Section 1.3.1, “Environmental Issue Areas Not Evaluated in Detail,” of the Draft EIR (pages 1-5 and 1-6). Coordination with Central Valley RWQCB and acquisition of any necessary permits for future development under the Specific Plan would occur, as needed and as individual developments are proposed. The comment provides general statements regarding potential requirements but does not raise specific issues regarding the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR’s analysis or identify applicable requirements that were not included as part of the Draft EIR. No further response is required.
2-4 The comment provides a closing remark and does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR. No further response is required.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT LETTER 3
3-1 The comment provides introductory text and indicates that the Specific Plan Area extends into the influence area of Executive Airport. The Draft EIR Section 3.6, “Hazards and Hazardous Materials,” identifies the Executive Airport as the nearest public airport to the Specific Plan Area.
However, the Specific Plan Area is not within the height, noise, or safety restriction areas outlined in the Sacramento Executive Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) (Draft EIR page 3.6-9).
3-2 The comment outlines ALUC’s responsibility/authority and states that the City is obligated to refer the Specific Plan to the ALUC for a consistency review prior to adoption of the plan. The comment also indicates that ALUC conducted a preliminary review of the Specific Plan but does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR. No further response is required. 3-3 The comment states that the Specific Plan boundaries overlap the Executive Airport influence area and indicates that the Specific Plan text on page 10 and the text on page 3.6-11 of the Draft EIR need clarification regarding the Specific Plan location in relation to the airport.
As discussed in Chapter 2, “Project Description,” of the Draft EIR, the Stockton Boulevard Plan consists of two components: a Specific Plan and a Neighborhood Action Plan. The Specific Plan provides a planning framework for making decisions about development and other activities within the Specific Plan Area. The Neighborhood Action Plan covers the Specific Plan Area and 23 surrounding residential neighborhoods (referred to as the Neighborhood Study Area).
The Neighborhood Action Plan acts as an information resource for future planning and decision making but does not mandate any one action nor include any specific project commitments.
Adoption of the Neighborhood Action Plan does not authorize development or any other improvements that would not otherwise be allowed within the Neighborhood Study Area. As a result, the Neighborhood Action Plan does not have the potential to result in physical environmental effects. Accordingly, the Draft EIR focuses on the Specific Plan and development anticipated within the Specific Plan Area not the Neighborhood Study Area.
As indicated in the comment, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as most recently amended in 1999, establishes height, noise, and safety restriction zones but published documents do not identify the limits of the airport influence area. Page 3.6-9 of the Draft EIR explains:
The Sacramento Executive Airport is the nearest public airport to the Specific Plan Area and is located at 6151 Freeport Boulevard, approximately 3 miles west of the Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan Area is not located within the height, noise, or safety restriction areas outlined in the Sacramento Executive Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (SACOG 1999).
As stated on page 3.6-11, the threshold for evaluation of potential impacts is:
for a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area; Therefore, the 2-mile distance applies in instances where there is not an adopted CLUP. Where a CLUP has been adopted, the specific hazards zones (rather than location in the airport influence area in general) determine the potential for impacts. In evaluating whether there is a potential for the project to generate a hazard, the Draft EIR (page 3.6-11) states:
Responses to Comments Ascent
City of Sacramento
2-16 Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR
The Specific Plan Area is not located within 2 miles of an airport or within a height, noise, or safety restriction area identified in a land use compatibility plan. As a result, no potential impacts related to safety hazards or excessive airport-related noise are anticipated.
Therefore, although the map provided as an attachment to the comment letter illustrates that the Specific Plan Area is within the conical surface area (defined in the CLUP as a surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet), the statement in the Draft EIR that the Specific Plan Area is outside of the established height, noise, or safety restriction areas remains accurate.
Therefore, no revisions have been made in response to this comment. 3-4 The comment states that ALUC’s preliminary analysis of the September 2023 Public Review Draft of the Stockton Boulevard Plan reveals no apparent conflicts with the CLUP, although very tall structures will be limited. This finding is consistent with the findings of the Draft EIR and is incorporated into the record for the project.
3-5 The comment indicates that the northeastern edge of the airport safety zones is in close proximity to the western side of the Specific Plan Area and provides an overview of development restrictions and compatibility concern related to development within the airport influence area. The comment also states that the Specific Plan should include a discussion and the Draft EIR should be corrected regarding the geographic relationship between the Specific Plan Area and the Executive Airport influence area.
Please refer to Response 3-3 above regarding the distinction between Neighborhood Study Area and Specific Plan Area. As discussed in Section 1.1, “Project Requiring Environmental Analysis,” the adoption of the Neighborhood Action Plan would not authorize development or any other improvements that would not otherwise be allowed. Therefore, no development would occur on the western edge of the Neighborhood Study Area near the airport safety zones as a result of the Specific Plan. Development within the Specific Plan Area would be consistent with the City’s development standards, including height limits adopted in the zoning code. 3-6 The comment requests that the City submit the draft Stockton Boulevard Plan for formal ALUC review. The comment does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR; therefore, no further response is required.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT LETTER 6
6-1 The comment indicates that SacSewer has reviewed the Draft EIR and provides a summary of the project. The comment does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR; therefore, no further response is required.
6-2 The comment request revisions throughout the Draft EIR to accurately reflect the service provider. The text of the Draft EIR has been updated to reflect the edits provided in the comment. Please see Chapter 3, “Changes to the Draft EIR,” for the revised text. 6-3 The comment notes that the local sewer collection system provides wastewater service to portions of the plan area that would be conveyed to the EchoWater Facility, via the Sump 2/2A and SacSewer City Interceptor system. The comment also requests a quantitative analysis for potential cumulative impacts related to the capacity of the Sump 2/2A and Interceptor system be provided.
The impact analysis of buildout of the Specific Plan on wastewater treatment is evaluated in the Draft EIR under Impact 3.11-2 (pages 3.11-19 to 3.11-21). The methodology for wastewater analysis is described on pages 3.11-16 and 3.11-17 of the Draft EIR. Impact 3.11-2 includes quantitative discussion of wastewater generation anticipated from buildout of the Specific Plan based on the wastewater generation rate identified in Stockton Boulevard Plan Infrastructure Utility Report. As discussed under Impact 3.11-2, implementation of the Specific Plan would generate approximately 1.01 million gallons per day of dry weather flow in total. Wastewater flows to EchoWater Facility in 2014 were approximately 141 million gallons per day, compared to the capacity of 181 million gallons per day. Therefore, it is anticipated that the EchoWater Facility would have available capacity to serve the development associated with the Specific Plan.
The cumulative impact of any one future project within the Specific Plan on wet and dry weather capacity is not known at this time and would depend, in part, upon the generation rates of other projects in the Sump 2 and Sump 2A service areas. However, given that the projected flows from full buildout of the Specific Plan are a relatively small fraction (1/60th) of the capacity of the combined system, the potential for cumulative effects on capacity to result from implementation of the plan is low. As described in Response 6-6, below, additional evaluation of effects on sewer capacity would be conducted at the project-level. 6-4 The comment notes that SacSewer approved the Wastewater Operating Agreement between SacSewer and the City in 2013 and provides flow rate information for the service area. As described above, this capacity information illustrates that the Specific Plan is unlikely to generate substantial contributions to the capacity of the relevant systems at buildout. 6-5 The comment clarifies that SacSewer does not have any land use authority but plans and design its infrastructure based on growth projections from land-use authorities. The comment does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR; therefore, no further response is required. 6-6 The comment notes that project proponents must complete Sewer Master Plans and Sewer Studies to receive sewer service. Impact 3.11-2 of the Draft EIR includes discussion of the requirement of project-specific sanitary sewer and storm drainage studies on an individual basis (page 3.11-20).
6-7 The comment notes the applicable SacSewer planning document and study. The comment also states all customers of SacSewer are responsible for complying with the requirements for payment of fees for service and for new connection fees. The comment does not address the accuracy or adequacy of the Draft EIR; therefore, no further response is required.

3 REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT EIR
This chapter presents specific text changes made to the Draft EIR since its publication and public review. The changes are presented in the order in which they appear in the original Draft EIR and are identified by the Draft EIR page number. Text deletions are shown in strikethrough, and text additions are shown in underline.
The information contained within this chapter clarifies and expands on information in the Draft EIR and does not constitute “significant new information” requiring recirculation. (See Public Resources Code Section 21092.1; State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5.)
3.1 REVISIONS TO THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A minor correction is made to Table ES-1 on page ES-6 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Impact 3.1-2: Cause Construction-Generated
Criteria Air Pollutant or Precursor Emissions
to Exceed SMAQMD-Recommended
Thresholds
Construction of the project would result in
emissions that would exceed SMAQMD
thresholds for PM10 and PM2.5. Because
SMAQMD’s construction BMPs are not included
as part of the project, the thresholds for both
PM10 and PM2.5 are 0 lb/day and 0 tpy. With
implementation of the feasible SMAQMD’s BMPs
identified in Mitigation Measure 3.1-2, the PM10
and PM2.5 emissions resulting from construction
would not exceed applicable thresholds.
Therefore, this impact would be less than
significant with mitigation.
PS Mitigation Measure 3.1-2: Implement 2040 General
Plan Policy
The City shall ensure that construction and grading
activities minimize short-term impacts to air quality by employing appropriate measures and best practices.
Refer to Basic Construction Emissions Control
Practices (BMPs) recommended by the Sacramento
Metropolitan Air Quality Management District
(SMAQMDSMAWMD) (2040 General Plan Policy
ERC-4.5).
LTS
Minor corrections are made to Table ES-1 on page ES-7 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Impact 3.1-3: Result in a Net Increase in
Long-Term Operational Criteria Air Pollutant
and Precursor Emissions That Exceed
SMAQMD-Recommended Thresholds
Development in the Specific Plan Area would
result in operational emissions of ROG and
PM10 that would exceed SMAQMD thresholds
due to the use of consumer products and
operational vehicle emissions. Implementation of
Mitigation Measure 3.5-1b Measures 3.1-3a and
3.1-3b would reduce PM emissions associated
with future development through the
implementation of measures to reduce exhaust
and fugitive dust, inclusion of low-emission
vehicles, and electric development. However, at
this level of analysis, it cannot be guaranteed
that these measures would sufficiently reduce
PM emissions. Thus, this impact would be
significant and unavoidable
SU Implement Mitigation Measure 3.5-1b. SU

Minor corrections are made to Table ES-1 on page ES-8 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Impact 3.1-6: Potential for the Implementation
of the Specific Plan, in Combination with
Other Development, to Contribute to a
Significant Cumulative Air Quality or Odor
Impact
Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan, in
combination with other cumulative development
in the area, would involve development and
redevelopment activities within the Specific Plan
Area. Through adherence to applicable
regulatory requirements and implementation of
project-specific mitigation, the contributions of
individual projects under the Specific Plan within
the cumulative context would be less than
cumulatively considerable. However, the Specific
Plan would have a cumulatively considerable
contribution to impacts related to operational
emissions even with implementation of Mitigation
Measure 3.5-1b Measures 3.1-3a and 3.1-3b.
Therefore, impacts would be significant and
unavoidable.
SU No additional mitigation is feasible to reduce the
Specific Plan’s contribution to cumulative impacts
other than Mitigation Measures 3.1-2, 3.5-1b 3.1-3a,
3.1-3b, and 3.1-4.

Minor corrections are made to Table ES-1 on pages ES-11 through ES-13 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Mitigation Measure 3.3-1e: Assessing Impacts
The City shall include the following implementing
action in the Specific Plan:
• Action X: Assess Project Impacts on Eligible
Properties. Projects proposing to alter buildings,
structures, or landscape features found through
evaluation to be eligible for listing on the
California Register or National Register of Historic
Places shall, at the direction of the City’s
Preservation Director, be evaluated for adherence
to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties. Potential direct
and/or indirect effects on the identified historic
resources shall be assessed according to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5(b). Mitigation

• Compatibility with Historic Context. The City will
continue to review new development, alterations,
and rehabilitation/remodels for compatibility with
the surrounding historic context and consistency
with design guidelines/standards, including the
Historic District Plans. The City shall pay special
attention to the scale, massing, and relationship
of proposed new development to complement
surrounding historic environments. (2040 General

City of Sacramento
Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR3-3
The City shall implement 2040 General Plan Policy
HCR-1.10:
• Demolition. Consistent with Secretary of the
Interior Standards, the City shall consider
demolition of historic resources as a last resort, to
be permitted only if rehabilitation or adaptive
reuse of the resource is not feasible; demolition is
necessary to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of its residents; or the public benefits
outweigh the loss of the historic resource. (2040
General Plan Policy HCR-1.10)
The City shall include the following implementing
actions in the Specific Plan:
• Action X: Documentation of Identified Historic
Resources. In cases where impacts to historic
resources cannot be reduced through avoidance
or project redesign to a less-than-significant level,
the project applicant shall undertake historic
documentation prior to issuance of building
permits. Documentation may include completion
of a Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS)
Historical Report and accompanying HABS-style
photographs. The appropriate level of
photographic and narrative HABS documentation
shall be determined by City Preservation Director
based on the significance and associations of the
resource.
• Action XX: Interpretive Program. If a proposed
project within the Plan Area would cause a
significant impact to a historic resource, and the
City Preservation Director deems that an
interpretive program would be effective and
feasible, the project applicant shall hire a qualified
professional to develop an on-site interpretive
program. An interpretive program would likely be
deemed effective in cases where the resource(s)
planned for alteration or demolition has particular
significance to the history of Sacramento or within
the community. The development of interpretive
program content shall be conducted or overseen
by a qualified professional who meets Secretary
of the Interior’s Professional Qualification
Standards for history, architectural history, or
architecture (as appropriate), and approved by
the City of Sacramento Planning Division staff.
The interpretive program shall include, at a
minimum, an on-site, publicly accessible exhibit
with information about the property’s history,
contribution to the history of the neighborhood
and/or city, and relevant historic photographs or
drawings.
Mitigation Measure 3.3-1gh: Protection during
Construction
The City shall include the following implementing
actions in the Specific Plan: • Action X: Protection of Historic Resources During Construction. If a project within the Plan
Area proposes demolition, alteration, or new
Revisions to the Draft EIR Ascent

construction within 25 feet of a building, structure,
or feature which has been listed on the
Sacramento Register, California Register, or
National Register, or found eligible through
evaluation for listing on the California Register or
National Register, the project applicant shall
incorporate into construction specifications for the
proposed project a requirement that construction
contractors use all feasible means to avoid
damage to adjacent and nearby historic
resources. Such methods may include
maintaining a safe distance between the
construction site and the historic resource, using
construction techniques that reduce vibration
(including alternatives to jackhammers and hoe-
rams where possible), appropriate excavation
shoring methods to prevent movement of
adjacent structures, and adequate site security to
minimize risks of vandalism and fire. This
measure shall apply to historic buildings,
structures, and site or landscape features both
within and outside of the proposed project parcel.
• Action XX: Construction Monitoring Program for
Historical Resources. If a project within the Plan
Area proposes demolition, alteration, or new
construction within 25 feet of a building, structure,
or feature which has been listed on the
Sacramento Register, California Register, or
National Register, or found eligible through
evaluation for listing on the California Register or
National Register, the project applicant shall
undertake a monitoring program to document and
minimize damage to adjacent historic resources.
Prior to the start of ground-disturbing project
activity, the project applicant shall engage a
historic architect or qualified historic preservation
professional to undertake a pre-construction
survey of historic resources within 25 feet of
planned project activities to document and
photograph existing conditions of the resource(s).
The consultant shall conduct regular periodic
inspections of each historic resource during
ground-disturbing activity on the project site.
Should damage to a historic resource occur, the
contractor or consultant, as appropriate, shall
immediately notify the project applicant. Any
historic resource(s) damaged as a result of
project activities shall be remediated to their pre-
construction condition at the conclusion of
ground-disturbing activity on the site. The
consultant shall submit monthly monitoring
reports, which shall include photographs from site
inspections and reports of any observed damage,
to the project applicant for the duration of
monitoring activity. This mitigation measure may
be implemented in combination with required
mitigation measures for vibration, as appropriate.

Minor corrections are made to Table ES-1 on page ES-19 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Impact 3.6-2: Emit Hazardous Emissions or
Handle Hazardous or Acutely Hazardous
Materials, Substances, or Waste within 0.25
Mile of an Existing or Proposed School
Several schools are located in the vicinity of the
Specific Plan Area. Although the nature and
location of specific developments under the
proposed Specific Plan are yet unknown, it is
likely they would result in the routine transport,
use, and storage of hazardous materials during
construction and operation. Such use, though not
expected to generate hazardous emissions or
handle acutely hazardous materials our waste,
could be proposed or could result through
accident or upset conditions within 0.25 mile of a
school. This impact would be less than
significant with mitigation.
PS Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.6-1 Mitigation Measures 3.5-1a through 3.5-1f as detailed under
Impact 3.5-1 above would be required.
LTS
To provide clarification for Mitigation Measure 3.10-1a, Table ES-1 on pages ES-31 and ES-32 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
Impact 3.10-1: Cause a Substantial Adverse
Change in the Significance of a TCR
Future development under the Specific Plan
could result in adverse impacts to resources with
cultural value to a California Native American
tribe. Implementation of mitigation measures
would reduce impacts but not to a less-than-significant level. The impact would be significant and unavoidable.
S Mitigation Measure 3.10-1a: Protect Discovered
Tribal Cultural Resources
If any suspected tribal cultural resources (such as
structural features, unusual amounts of bone or shell,
artifacts, or human remains) are encountered at the
project site during construction, work shall be
suspended within 100 feet of the find (based on the
apparent distribution of cultural materials), and the
construction contractor shall immediately notify the
project’s City representative. Avoidance and
preservation in place is the preferred manner of
mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources. This will be accomplished, if feasible, by several alternative
means, including:
• Planning construction to avoid tribal cultural
resources and/or archaeological sites and/or
other cultural resources; incorporating cultural
these resources within parks, green-space or
other open space; covering archaeological
resources; deeding a tribal cultural resource to a
permanent conservation easement; or other
preservation and protection methods agreeable to
consulting parties and regulatory authorities with
jurisdiction over the activity.
• Recommendations for avoidance of tribal cultural
resources will be reviewed by the City
representative, interested culturally affiliated
Native American tribes, and other appropriate
agencies, in light of factors such as costs,
logistics, feasibility, design, technology and
social, cultural and environmental considerations,
and the extent to which avoidance is consistent
with project objectives. Avoidance and design
alternatives may include realignment within the
project site to avoid cultural resources,
SU
Revisions to the Draft EIR Ascent

modification of the design to eliminate or reduce
impacts to tribal cultural resources or modification
or realignment to avoid highly significant features
within a tribal cultural resource.
• Native American representatives from interested
culturally affiliated Native American tribes will be
invited to review and comment on these analyses
and shall have the opportunity to meet with the
City representative and its representatives who
have technical expertise to identify and
recommend feasible avoidance and design
alternatives, so that appropriate and feasible
avoidance and design alternatives can be
identified.
• If the discovered tribal cultural resource can be
avoided, the construction contractor(s), will install
protective fencing outside the site boundary,
including a 100-foot buffer area, before
construction restarts. The boundary of a tribal
cultural resource will be determined in
consultation with interested culturally affiliated
Native American tribes and tribes will be invited to
monitor the installation of fencing. Use of
temporary and permanent forms of protective
fencing will be determined in consultation with
Native American representatives from interested
culturally affiliated Native American tribes.
• The construction contractor(s) will maintain the
protective fencing throughout construction to
avoid the site during all remaining phases of
construction. The area will be demarcated as an
“Environmentally Sensitive Area.”
If a tribal cultural resource cannot be avoided, the
following performance standard shall be met prior to
continuance of construction and associated activities
that may result in damage to or destruction of tribal
cultural resources: • Each resource will be evaluated for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR)
eligibility through application of established
eligibility criteria (California Code of Regulations
15064.636), in consultation with consulting Native
American Tribes, as applicable.
• If a cultural resource is determined to be eligible
for listing in the CRHR, the City will avoid
damaging effects to the resource in accordance
with California PRC Section 21084.3, if feasible.
The City shall coordinate the investigation of the
find with a qualified archaeologist (meeting the
Secretary of the Interior’s Professional
Qualifications Standards for Archeology)
approved by the City. As part of the site
investigation and resource assessment, the City

to the City representative by the qualified
archaeologist. These recommendations will be
documented in the project record.
If a cultural resource or a tribal cultural resource is determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, the
City will avoid damaging effects to the resource in
accordance with California PRC Section 21084.3, if
feasible. The City will coordinate the investigation of the find with a qualified archaeologist (meeting the
Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archeology) approved by the City and
with interested culturally affiliated Native American
tribes that respond to the City’s invitation. As part of the site investigation and resource assessment, the
City and the archaeologist shall consult with interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes to assess
the significance of the find, make recommendations for
further evaluation and treatment as necessary and
provide proper management recommendations should
potential impacts to the resources be determined by
the City to be significant. A written report detailing the site assessment, coordination activities, and
management recommendations will be provided to the
City representative by the qualified archaeologist.
These recommendations will be documented in the
project record. For any recommendations made by
interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes that are not implemented, a justification for why the
recommendation was not followed will be provided in
the project record.
Native American representatives from interested
culturally affiliated Native American Tribes and the City representative will also consult to develop measures
for long-term management of any discovered tribal
cultural resources. Consultation will be limited to
actions consistent with the jurisdiction of the City and taking into account ownership of the subject property.
To the extent that the City has jurisdiction, routine
operation and maintenance within tribal cultural
resources retaining tribal cultural integrity shall be
consistent with the avoidance and minimization
standards identified in this mitigation measure.
If the City determines that the project may cause a
significant impact to a tribal cultural resource, and
measures are not otherwise identified in the
consultation process, the following are examples of
mitigation capable of avoiding or substantially
lessening potential significant impacts to a tribal
cultural resource or alternatives that would avoid
significant impacts to the resource. These measures
may be considered to avoid or minimize significant
adverse impacts and constitute the standard by which

an impact conclusion of less-than significant may be
reached:
• Avoid and preserve resources in place, including,
but not limited to, planning construction to avoid the
resources and protect the cultural and natural
context to incorporate the resources with culturally
appropriate protection and management criteria.
• Treat the resource with culturally appropriate dignity taking into account the Tribal cultural values and
meaning of the resource, including, but not limited
to, the following:
Protect the cultural character and integrity of the
resource.
Protect the traditional use of the resource.
Protect the confidentiality of the resource.
Establish permanent conservation easements or

3.1-3a and 3.1-3b would be sufficient to reduce PM and ROG emissions below a significant level.
Mitigation Measures
No additional mitigation is feasible to reduce the Specific Plan’s contribution to cumulative impacts other than Mitigation Measures 3.1-2, 3.5-1b 3.1-3a, 3.1-3b, and 3.1-4.
3.5 REVISIONS TO SECTION 3.3, “CULTURAL RESOURCES”
Minor corrections are made to Mitigation Measure 3.3-1e on page 3.3-12 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Mitigation Measure 3.3-1e: Assessing Impacts
The City shall include the following implementing action in the Specific Plan:
• Action X: Assess Project Impacts on Eligible Properties. Projects proposing to alter buildings, structures, or landscape features found through evaluation to be eligible for listing on the California Register or National Register of Historic Places shall, at the direction of the City’s Preservation Director, be evaluated for adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Potential direct and/or indirect effects on the identified historic resources shall be assessed according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(b). Mitigation Measure 3.3-1f: Design Consistency Mitigation Measure 3.3-1f: Design Consistency
The City shall implement 2040 General Plan Policy HCR-1.3:
• Compatibility with Historic Context. The City will continue to review new development, alterations, and rehabilitation/remodels for compatibility with the surrounding historic context and consistency with design guidelines/standards, including the Historic District Plans. The City shall pay special attention to the scale, massing, and relationship of proposed new development to complement surrounding historic environments. (2040 General Plan Policy HCR-1.3)
Minor corrections are made to the numbering of Mitigation Measure 3.3-1f on page 3.3-12 and Mitigation Measure 3.3-1g on page 3.3-13 of the Draft EIR as follows:

Mitigation Measures
No additional mitigation is feasible to reduce the Specific Plan’s contribution to cumulative impacts other than Mitigation Measures 3.3-1a through 3.3-1 gh and 3.3-2a through 3.3-2c described above.
3.6 REVISIONS TO SECTION 3.6, “HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS”
Minor corrections are made to Impact 3.6-2 discussion on pages 3.6-14 and 3.6-15 of the Draft EIR as follows:
Development under the proposed Specific Plan has the potential to result in the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, as described under Impact 3.6-1 3.5-1. Four schools are located within 1/4 mile of the Specific Plan Area (see Table 3.6-3 3.5-3).
The Specific Plan intends to attract and facilitate infill development in the Specific Plan Area.
Key aspects of the Specific Plan would include maintaining an affordable and stable housing stock and preventing residential displacement; building a mix of residential dwelling types, including units for families, unhoused neighbors, seniors, the workforce population, people with disabilities, and those formerly incarcerated; creating better walking and bicycle connections (including “complete streets”) 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; and enhancing the mix of local-serving businesses and public spaces that provide culturally relevant services, art, recreation, and entertainment in the community.
As discussed in Impact 3.6-1 3.5-1, construction and operation of such development in the Specific Plan Area would result in the transport, use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials. Any such handling of hazardous materials, even with compliance with existing laws, regulations, and manufacturer’s specifications for handling and storage, can pose a risk of release to the environment and human exposure, and children are more vulnerable than adults to exposure to hazardous materials. Projects proposed in the Specific Plan Area would be required to comply with applicable federal, State, and local regulations, which would reduce the potential for hazardous emissions or inappropriate handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste. However, as described in Impact 3.6-1 3.5-1, compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and City policies would minimize but not eliminate the risk of a spill or accidental release of hazardous materials during construction and operation of development pursuant to the plan. The potential for hazardous emissions or handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school would be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measures
Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.6-1 Measures 3.5-1a through 3.5-1f as detailed under Impact 3.6-1 3.5-1 above would be required.
Revisions to the Draft EIR Ascent
City of Sacramento
3-12 Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR
Significance after Mitigation
The proposed plan would be required to implement Mitigation Measures 3.5-1a through 3.9-5f, detailed under Impact 3.6-1 3.5-1. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.6-1 Measures 3.5-1a through 3.5-1f, as well as compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, would reduce potential impacts associated with emitting hazardous emissions or handling hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 mile of an existing or proposed school. With the incorporation of Mitigation Measure 3.6-1 Measures 3.5-1a through 3.5-1f, impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level.
3.7 REVISIONS TO SECTION 3.9, “TRANSPORTATION AND
CIRCULATION”
In response Comment 5-10, text on page 3.9-9 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
SacRT bus routes, including the 38, 51, 61, 68, 137, 138, and the 109 Express, operate near or along Stockton Boulevard (Figure 3.9-1). Bus Route 51 has the highest ridership in the SacRT system, with over 2,000 daily riders. Route 51 is the most frequent route serving Stockton Boulevard, with 12- to 15-minute headways during peak travel times. Route 38, which travels along 39th Street, Stockton Boulevard, and Broadway in the Specific Plan Area, has 3060- minute headways throughout the day. Route 68 – Oak Park bus serves 69 bus stops in the Sacramento area departing from Cosumnes Light Rail Station/Bus Bay 4 and ending at Arden Fair Mall / Terminal. Route 137 serves 17 bus stops departing from 45th Street/Y Street and ending at Bruceville Rd / Whitelock Parkway. Route 138 serves 5 bus stops in the Sacramento area departing from Y Street/45th and ending at Hutchison Drive / California Way. The busiest bus stops along Stockton Boulevard are those at Broadway, serving Routes 51 and 38, and Fruitridge Road, serving Routes 51 and 61. Of the 42 stops within the Specific Plan Area, almost half are equipped with benches and a bus shelter.
3.8 REVISIONS TO SECTION 3.10, “TRIBAL CULTURAL
RESOURCES”
To provide clarification, Mitigation Measure 3.10-1a on page 3.10-8 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
Mitigation Measure 3.10-1a: Protect Discovered Tribal Cultural Resources If any suspected tribal cultural resources (such as structural features, unusual amounts of bone or shell, artifacts, or human remains) are encountered at the project site during construction, work shall be suspended within 100 feet of the find (based on the apparent distribution of cultural materials), and the construction contractor shall immediately notify the project’s City representative. Avoidance and preservation in place is the preferred manner of mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources. This will be accomplished, if feasible, by several alternative means, including:
• Planning construction to avoid tribal cultural resources and/or archaeological sites and/or other cultural resources; incorporating cultural these resources within parks, green-space or other open space; covering archaeological resources; deeding a tribal cultural resource to a permanent conservation easement; or other preservation and protection methods agreeable to consulting parties and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the activity.
Ascent Revisions to the Draft EIR
City of Sacramento
Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR 3-13
• Recommendations for avoidance of tribal cultural resources will be reviewed by the City representative, interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes, and other appropriate agencies, in light of factors such as costs, logistics, feasibility, design, technology and social, cultural and environmental considerations, and the extent to which avoidance is consistent with project objectives. Avoidance and design alternatives may include realignment within the project site to avoid cultural resources, modification of the design to eliminate or reduce impacts to tribal cultural resources or modification or realignment to avoid highly significant features within a tribal cultural resource. • Native American representatives from interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes will be invited to review and comment on these analyses and shall have the opportunity to meet with the City representative and its representatives who have technical expertise to identify and recommend feasible avoidance and design alternatives, so that appropriate and feasible avoidance and design alternatives can be identified. • If the discovered tribal cultural resource can be avoided, the construction contractor(s), will install protective fencing outside the site boundary, including a 100-foot buffer area, before construction restarts. The boundary of a tribal cultural resource will be determined in consultation with interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes and tribes will be invited to monitor the installation of fencing. Use of temporary and permanent forms of protective fencing will be determined in consultation with Native American representatives from interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes. • The construction contractor(s) will maintain the protective fencing throughout construction to avoid the site during all remaining phases of construction. The area will be demarcated as an “Environmentally Sensitive Area.”
If a tribal cultural resource cannot be avoided, the following performance standard shall be met prior to continuance of construction and associated activities that may result in damage to or destruction of tribal cultural resources:
• Each resource will be evaluated for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility through application of established eligibility criteria (California Code of Regulations 15064.636), in consultation with consulting Native American Tribes, as applicable. • If a cultural resource is determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, the City will avoid damaging effects to the resource in accordance with California PRC Section 21084.3, if feasible. The City shall coordinate the investigation of the find with a qualified archaeologist (meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archeology) approved by the City. As part of the site investigation and resource assessment, the City and the archaeologist shall c assess the significance of the find, make recommendations for further evaluation and treatment as necessary and provide proper management recommendations should potential impacts to the resources be determined by the City to be significant. A written report detailing the site assessment, coordination activities, and management recommendations shall be provided to the City representative by the qualified archaeologist. These recommendations will be documented in the project record.
If a cultural resource or a tribal cultural resource is determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, the City will avoid damaging effects to the resource in accordance with California PRC Revisions to the Draft EIR Ascent
City of Sacramento
3-14 Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR
Section 21084.3, if feasible. The City will coordinate the investigation of the find with a qualified archaeologist (meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archeology) approved by the City and with interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes that respond to the City’s invitation. As part of the site investigation and resource assessment, the City and the archaeologist shall consult with interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes to assess the significance of the find, make recommendations for further evaluation and treatment as necessary and provide proper management recommendations should potential impacts to the resources be determined by the City to be significant. A written report detailing the site assessment, coordination activities, and management recommendations will be provided to the City representative by the qualified archaeologist. These recommendations will be documented in the project record. For any recommendations made by interested culturally affiliated Native American tribes that are not implemented, a justification for why the recommendation was not followed will be provided in the project record.
Native American representatives from interested culturally affiliated Native American Tribes and the City representative will also consult to develop measures for long-term management of any discovered tribal cultural resources. Consultation will be limited to actions consistent with the jurisdiction of the City and taking into account ownership of the subject property. To the extent that the City has jurisdiction, routine operation and maintenance within tribal cultural resources retaining tribal cultural integrity shall be consistent with the avoidance and minimization standards identified in this mitigation measure.
If the City determines that the project may cause a significant impact to a tribal cultural resource, and measures are not otherwise identified in the consultation process, the following are examples of mitigation capable of avoiding or substantially lessening potential significant impacts to a tribal cultural resource or alternatives that would avoid significant impacts to the resource. These measures may be considered to avoid or minimize significant adverse impacts and constitute the standard by which an impact conclusion of less-than significant may be reached:
• Avoid and preserve resources in place, including, but not limited to, planning construction to avoid the resources and protect the cultural and natural context to incorporate the resources with culturally appropriate protection and management criteria. • Treat the resource with culturally appropriate dignity taking into account the Tribal cultural values and meaning of the resource, including, but not limited to, the following:
Protect the cultural character and integrity of the resource. Protect the traditional use of the resource.
Protect the confidentiality of the resource.
Establish permanent conservation easements or other interests in real property, with culturally appropriate management criteria for the purposes of preserving or using the resources or places.
Protect the resource.

3.9 REVISIONS TO SECTION 3.11, “UTILITIES AND SERVICE
SYSTEMS”
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-1 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
Comments related to utilities and service systems were received in response to the Notice of Preparation from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SacSewer) Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San).
In response to respond to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-4 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
In April 2016, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) Order No. R5-2016-0020 (NPDES No. CA 0077682) to the Regional San SacSewer for its Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWTP) EchoWater Resource Recovery Facility (EchoWater Facility), which treats wastewater from its service area before discharging it to the Sacramento River. The original permit for the EchoWater Facility SRWTP was issued in October 1974.
Depending on flow volumes, wastewater and stormwater flows in this system are conveyed to the EchoWater Facility SRWTP, Combined Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWTP) at South Land Park Drive and 35th Avenue, and Pioneer Reservoir at Front and V streets near the Sacramento River. The Order does not apply to operations at EchoWater Facility SRWTP.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-8 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
The MOU must specify the type of groundwater discharge, flow rates, discharge system design, a City-approved contaminant assessment of the proposed groundwater discharge indicating tested levels of constituents, and a City-approved effluent monitoring plan to ensure contaminant levels remain in compliance with State standards or the Sacramento County Regional Sanitation District (Regional San) SacSewer and Central Valley Water Board-approved levels. All groundwater discharges to the sewer must be granted a Regional San SacSewer discharge permit. If the discharge is part of a groundwater cleanup or contains excessive contaminants, Central Valley Water Board approval is also required.
In response to Comment 6-2, Table 3.11-1 of the Draft EIR (page 3.11-9) is revised as follows:
Wastewater Treatment SacSewer Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD) Stormwater Conveyance City of Sacramento Department of Utilities (Combined Sewer System) and SacSewer Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD)
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-9 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
The City provides domestic water to the Specific Plan Area and utilizes both surface water and groundwater to meet water demands. The City treats surface water diverted from the Sacramento River and American River through EchoWater Facility SRWTP and the E.A.
EchoWater Facility SRWTP began operation in 1924 with an initial capacity of 32 mgd and treats water diverted from the Sacramento River approximately 0.5 miles downstream of the confluence of the American River. A new water intake structure, located approximately 700 feet downstream of the old intake structure, was completed in 2003. Other expansions and modifications completed by the City since the 1920s increased the treatment plant design capacity to 160 mgd. The most recent project was completed in 2016, which replaced many of the older facilities at the EchoWater Facility SRWTP in order to maintain the 160 mgd capacity into the foreseeable future.
Revisions to the Draft EIR Ascent
City of Sacramento
3-16 Stockton Blvd Plan Final EIR
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-11 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
It is important to note that the WFA does not restrict diversion under the City’s American River entitlements from a Sacramento River diversion point (which leaves the water in the American River throughout its reaches); therefore, during a Conference Year condition the City’s annual surface water diversion amounts are limited only by the FWTP Conference Year condition and the diversion and treatment capacity at the EchoWater Facility SRWTP.
In 2015, the City collaborated with Regional San SacSewer and the Sacramento Power Authority (SPA), a significant City water customer, on recycled water planning which was used for the Recycled Water Feasibility Study to determine the feasibility of providing recycled water to the southwest portion of the City and to SPA’s cogeneration plant (Cogen Facility). In April 2016, following completion of this study, the City and Regional San SacSewer executed a Principles of Agreement for a Water Recycling Program which serves as an interim document that describes the proposed institutional structure for Regional San SacSewer and the City Water Recycling Program. Regional San SacSewer and SPA, in coordination with the City, cooperated in the development of a Phase 1 water recycling project that delivers recycled water via a new transmission pipeline from the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant EchoWater Facility to the Cogen Facility. This transmission pipeline was upsized to provide additional capacity to serve potential future recycled water users within the City. Construction of the SPA Cogen Facility is now complete and operations testing of the pipeline was conducted in 2020.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on pages 3.11-13 and 3.11-14 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
The City operates pumping facilities throughout the City. There are 18 high lift service pumps at EchoWater Facility SRWTP and FWTP.
Wastewater flows collected from the Specific Plan Area are ultimately transported into SRWTP EchoWater Facility, which is located in Elk Grove and is owned and managed by Regional San SacSewer. Currently, SRWTP has a NPDES permit issued by the Central Valley RWQCB for discharge of up to 181 mgd of treated effluent into the Sacramento River.
In Spring 2023, Regional San SacSewer completed the EchoWater Project, a major upgrade to the former Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment PlanSRWTP. The EchoWater Project was carried out to meet new water quality requirements that were issued by the Central Valley RWQCB as part of Regional San’s SacSewer’s 2010 discharge permit. The requirements are designed primarily to help protect the Delta ecosystem downstream by removing most of the ammonia and nitrates and improving the removal of pathogens from wastewater discharge. The upgrade includes deployment of new treatment technologies and facilities that have increased the quality of effluent discharged into the Sacramento River and ensure that the SRWTP EchoWater Facility discharge constituents are below permitted discharge limits specified in the NPDES permit. Flows to SRWTP EchoWater Facility have decreased as a result of water conservation efforts over the last 10 years. Further, adequate capacity for wastewater is anticipated well into the future. Flows in 2014 were approximately 141 mgd, compared to the capacity of 181 mgd stated above. It is not anticipated that Regional San SacSewer would need to consider further improvements to SRWTP EchoWater Facility until after 2050.
For secondary treatment and disinfection of the flow, the City has a MOU with the SRWTP EchoWater Facility to convey 60 mgd.
Excess flows from SRWTP EchoWater Facility and CWTP are diverted to Pioneer which can provide primary treatment of 250 mgd and flow capacity of up to 500 mgd depending on the river stage. When all three treatment facilities (SRWTP EchoWater Facility, CWTP, and Pioneer) have exceeded their treatment capacity of 440 mgd, excess flows may be directly Ascent Revisions to the Draft EIR

discharged into the Sacramento River without treatment via Sump 2. Sump 1 also has the ability to discharge flows directly to the river.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-15 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
South of 14th Avenue, the Specific Plan Area is served by a separated sanitary sewer system served by SacSewer SASD.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-19 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
Implementation of the Specific Plan would result in increased wastewater generation in areas.
SRWTP EchoWater Facility would have adequate capacity to treat wastewater generated from development within the Specific Plan Area.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-20 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
Wastewater flows to SRWTP EchoWater Facility in 2014 were approximately 141 mgd, compared to the capacity of 181 mgd. Therefore, it is anticipated that SRWTP EchoWater Facility would have available capacity to serve the development associated with the Specific Plan. Implementation of the Specific Plan would not necessitate the expansion of SRWTP EchoWater Facility to accommodate the additional wastewater flows requiring treatment.
CSS and SacSewer SASD have insufficient infrastructure capacity to serve wet weather flows and combined sewer outflows and overflows occur during heavy rainfall storm events.
In response to Comment 6-2, text on page 3.11-24 of the Draft EIR is revised as follows:
The cumulative context for wastewater treatment includes the SRWTP EchoWater Facility service area (i.e., City of Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, West Sacramento, and select unincorporated areas of Sacramento County).
