Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The applicant is proposing to develop two vacant parcels (“Flex Parcel” and “Multi Parcel”) totaling 4.86 acres with a combined total of 61 single-unit dwellings within the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD). The required entitlements for the proposed development of the Flex Parcel site include a Conditional Use Permit to construct single-unit dwellings within the Shopping Center (SC-PUD) zone, a Tentative Subdivision Map to create 31 residential parcels, and Site Plan and Design Review to review the subdivision layout, housing design, and improvements.

The required entitlements for the proposed development of the Multi Parcel site include a Resolution amending the PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines to permit single-unit dwelling development within the Multi-Family Housing designation, a Tentative Subdivision Map to create 30 residential parcels, and Site Plan and Design Review to review the subdivision layout, housing design, and improvements.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve entitlements associated with the “Flex Zone” property (2325 10th Avenue) and deny the requested entitlements associated with the “Multi Parcel” (2341 Omaha Beach Avenue).

In addition, since filing the appeal, the applicant has submitted a revised proposal for the Multi Site.

The revised proposal adds two junior accessory dwelling units to each single unit homes. Staff has

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
reviewed the revised proposal and the revised proposal does not meet the PUD. Accordingly, the recommendation to deny remains unchanged.

Public/Neighborhood Outreach and Comments: As part of the application review process, the proposal was routed to community organizations including Civic Thread, Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, Preservation Sacramento, Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, Sacramento Housing Alliance, Environmental Council of Sacramento, and the Sierra Curtis Neighborhood Association.

Notification of this hearing was also sent to property owners and occupants within a 500-foot radius of the site, and the site was posted with contact information for project questions, as well as the date, time, and participation details for the project hearing.

Staff received responses from community groups and individuals that opposed single-unit dwelling development on the Multi Parcel, that opposed single-unit dwelling on both the Multi Parcel and the Flex Parcel, and that supported single-unit dwelling development on both the Multi Parcel and Flex Parcel. Some comment letters refer to a 100-foot-tall building to be constructed on the Multi Parcel site. There is no proposal by staff or anyone else to construct such a building. Staff does not propose development projects. All response letters and public e-comments can be found within Attachment 8 of this report.

Policy Considerations: The General Plan designation for the Flex Parcel site (2325 10th Avenue) is Residential Mixed Use (RMU). The RMU designation is intended to foster vibrant, walkable areas with a high-intensity mix of residential, commercial, office, and public uses, where daily errands can be accomplished on foot, by bicycle, or by transit.

The General Plan designation for the Multi Parcel site (2341 Omaha Beach Avenue) is Neighborhood (N). The N designation applies throughout Sacramento’s established residential neighborhoods and in newly annexed areas in the north of the city where primarily residential development is planned.

The N designation is intended to maintain and enhance livability and sense of place. The N designation is primarily comprised of residential uses, with some complementary neighborhoodserving commercial and public uses.

The following General Plan goal and policies support the development of residential units on both the Flex Zone site and the Multi Parcel site:

Goal LUP-1: A compact urban footprint and sustainable development pattern with infrastructure that supports efficient delivery of public services while protecting surrounding open space lands.

Policy LUP-1.1: Compact Urban Footprint. The City shall promote a land and resourceefficient development pattern and the placement of infrastructure to support efficient delivery of

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
public services and conserve open space, reduce vehicle miles traveled, and improve air quality.

Policy LUP-1.8: Jobs-Housing Balance. The City shall encourage a balance between job type, the workforce, and housing development to reduce the negative impacts of long commutes and provide a range of employment opportunities for all city residents.

Staff Response: This urban infill development project makes efficient use of city land and infrastructure by utilizing existing street and utility networks, and by being positioned within walking distance to supportive commercial services, retail uses, and employment opportunities.

While residential construction on both the Flex Parcel and the Multi Parcel are consistent with General Plan Policies LUD-1.1 and LU-1.8, the project proposes single-unit homes, which are inconsistent with the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Schematic Plan and Guidelines.

As a result, the project requests an amendment of the PUD to allow the development of single-unit dwellings in the Multi-Family Housing schematic plan designation. This amendment is inconsistent with the following 2040 General Plan policies:

Policy LUP-2.4 Development Intensity Linked to Transit. The City shall plan for higher development intensities around current and planned transit to optimize public investments and support an accessible, convenient network.

Staff Response: The “Multi Parcel” site is within an approximately 0.3-mile walking distance (1,730 feet) of a current light rail transit station. The request to decrease development intensity by redesignating the site from “multi-family” to “single-family” is inconsistent with 2040 General Plan LUP-2.4.

On September 28, 2010, Sacramento City Council approved the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD) Schematic Plan and Development Guidelines. The Curtis Park Village Schematic Plan was established to ensure development would be in conformance with the land uses, density, architectural guidelines, and development goals and purpose of the PUD.

The PUD clearly distinguishes between the commercial land uses (generally in the southern portion of the project), single family housing (in the northern portion of the project), and multi-family, in the center. The multi-family site, identified as 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue, is designated on the PUD Schematic Plan as Multi-Family. The Schematic Plan multi-family designation was recommended and adopted by the City Council with the expectation that the site’s higher development intensity would take advantage of proximity to the adjacent public transit investment.

Policy LUP-4.1 Transit-Supportive Development. The City shall encourage increased residential and commercial development intensity within ½-mile of existing high-frequency bus

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
stops and existing and planned light rail stations, bus rapid transit stations, and commuter rail stations to support more frequent, reliable transit service and vibrant, walkable neighborhoods.

Staff Response: The subject site’s location, approximately 0.3-mile (1,730 foot) walking distance from the City College light rail station, is intended to support urban infill “smart growth” planning principles.

The placement of an intended multi-family residential development at the 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue site (Multi Parcel) was instrumental in the project securing transit-oriented development infrastructure funding, including the pedestrian/bike bridge connecting Crocker Village to the City College light rail station.

The importance of the anticipated synergy between a multi-family project at the subject site, as designated by the Schematic Plan, and adjacent public transit and retail/commercial goods and services, is evident in the language of the PUD’s four primary goals established by the PUD in 2010 and as they still read today:

1. “Create a visually interesting, pedestrian friendly mixed-use neighborhood that promotes smart growth principles.”

2. “Provide a vibrant and successful neighborhood retail center.”

3. “Provide various housing choices including single-family and cluster, affordable senior, and market-rate multi-family residences.”

4. “Maximize opportunities for efficient transit provided by the public transportation and roadway corridors serving the site of the PUD.”
Abandoning market rate multi-family development at the Multi Parcel site, in favor of more singlefamily development, is inconsistent with the PUD and 2040 General Plan vision, goals, and polices.

Policy LUP-5.3 Mixed-Use Neighborhood Centers. The City shall promote the development of strategically located mixed-use neighborhood centers that accommodate local-serving commercial, employment, entertainment, and cultural uses; provide diverse housing opportunities; are within walking distance of surrounding residents; and are efficiently served by transit.

Staff Response: The Multi Parcel site is strategically located within ¼ mile of “local-serving commercial, employment, entertainment,” and less than a ½ mile from transit. The Multi Parcel site is specifically distinguished from the single-family designated neighborhoods, not only by its location, but also by its purpose and attributes, as described on page 13 of the PUD Guidelines (emphasis added):

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
“Market-Rate Multi-Family Housing:

A. Provides additional pedestrian links through Curtis Park Village B. Acts as a buffer between Curtis Park Village single family residential and Curtis Park Village commercial areas
C. Provides an alternative type of housing for the neighborhood D. Neighborhood Park will provide shared recreational, open space, and tot lot facilities E. Provide parking per city code
F. Achieve variety in exterior architectural forms through the use of various building materials and colors
G. Shared common open space may be substituted for private patios and balconies” The PUD Guidelines make clear that the Schematic Plan’s multi-family designation intended the Multi Parcel site be developed with a housing product that not only distinguishes it from the PUD’s singlefamily product physically and aesthetically but also functionally due to its strategic location.

Replicating the adjacent single-family detached housing type would result in an inconsistency with the PUD’s vision and purpose for the site.

Policy LUP-6.2 Range of Residential Development Intensities. The City shall allow for a range of residential development intensities throughout the community to cultivate a mix of housing types at varying sales price points and rental rates, provide options for residents of all income levels, and protect existing residents from displacement.

Staff Response: Within the Curtis Park Village PUD Guidelines, one of the goals and objectives of the PUD is to create housing choices. The Guidelines describe the Multi Family Housing Area as an area that allows “for the development of apartments and condominium multi-family housing.” Taken in context with the dominant single-family detached housing type and one senior affordable apartment project, the purpose for the multi-family designated site is to diversify the PUD housing mix to include residences for those with incomes that would otherwise leave them unable to live in the community.

Such individuals could include City College staff, students, Crocker Village commercial/retail employees, and adjacent neighborhood young adults, looking to start living on their own, but within short distance of family and friends. Failure to provide the expected multi-family housing would be inconsistent with the Curtis Park Village Vision, as described on page 4 of the PUD:

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
“The vision for Curtis Park Village is of a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood developed at a pedestrian scale. Uses of the site include: detached brownstones, cluster-housing (cottages), single-family detached homes, affordable seniors and market-rate multi-family housing, a community shopping and retail/commercial development area, and a neighborhood park.

These elements will combine into a truly vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Curtis Park Village incorporates values of new urbanism and smart growth, including walkable neighborhoods with tree-lined streets, pedestrian-scaled architecture, and effective connections to surrounding communities.” (Emphasis added.)
The site within the PUD identified for market-rate multi-family housing is the Multi Parcel site at 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue. If this site is not developed as market-rate multi-family housing, the PUD area will be built out without meeting the PUD requirement for this housing type.

Policy LUP-6.6 New Growth Neighborhoods. The City shall ensure that new residential growth areas include neighborhoods with a mix of residential types, sizes, and densities, such as single-, duplex-, and multi-unit dwellings.

Staff Response: As a relatively “new growth neighborhood” nearing its complete build-out, Curtis Park Village is a treasured community asset which receives local and regional praise for its “smart growth” attributes, walkability to shopping and commercial services, and easy access to transit. The 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue multi-family designated site is a key component of completing the vision for a “vibrant mixed-use neighborhood,” helping establish an inclusive, diverse community.

Replacing the market rate multi-family designation with a detached, single-unit housing type would be an inconsistent action, contrary to the Curtis Park Village PUD, the City’s 2040 General Plan, State housing goals, and fundamental “smart growth” Planning principles.

Greater Land Park Community Plan
The project site is within the boundaries of the Greater Land Park Community Plan. This plan contains identified community issues and opportunities, associated with General Plan policies, expected to be considered and addressed with future area development. Staff finds the requested amendment to the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Schematic Plan and Guidelines to develop single-unit dwellings in the Multi-Family Housing designation to be inconsistent with the following community issues/opportunities identified within the Greater Land Park Community Plan:

Community Issue/Opportunity - Housing: Approximately 83 percent of the housing stock in Greater Land Park is single-unit residential, and average housing sales prices are higher than in most other areas. Residents expressed interest in seeing a wider variety of housing types in Greater Land Park, particularly smaller homes that can be affordable by design and allow younger Sacramentans to stay in the area. Many

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
community members wanted to see higher density housing allowed near transit routes and walkable neighborhood centers, including additional student housing in the Carleton Tract neighborhood, close to Sacramento City College. Addressing homelessness is another priority for Greater Land Park community members; some residents advocated for more shelter and permanent housing options and additional support services for people experiencing homelessness. (Greater Land Park Community Plan 11-LP-4.) Staff Response: The proposal to allow more single-unit residential development at a site designated for multi-unit development worsens the identified community issue of housing type imbalance and housing cost and opposes the opportunity for smaller units that can be affordable by design and allow younger Sacramentans to stay in the area. It also foregoes planned opportunity for higher density housing near transit.

Community Issue/Opportunity - Infill Development: Infill development along Greater Land Park’s corridors - including Freeport Boulevard, Franklin Boulevard, Sutterville Road, and some areas south of Broadway - could connect existing local businesses and enhance Greater Land Park’s sense of community. Capitalizing on proximity to light rail and to Downtown with greater development intensity along corridors would support the City’s goals to reduce GHG emissions by encouraging walking, bicycling, and transit use. Infill redevelopment could also open up new opportunities for living in Greater Land Park and further support the vitality of local businesses. Many residents see the Tower District and Broadway corridor as the creative “fringe” of the Central City and would like to see it enhanced as a multicultural live/work arts destination.

Staff response: The Multi Parcel site, designated by the Curtis Park Village PUD as a more intense Multi-Family Housing development site, is situated along the Blue Line light rail corridor. A decision to allow less intense single-unit development instead of higher intensity multi-unit development would not capitalize on proximity to light rail and to Downtown and would fail to best support the City’s goals to reduce GHG emissions by encouraging walking, bicycling, and transit use.

Environmental Considerations: On April 1, 2010, the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (Resolution 2010-174) and on September 28, 2010, adopted Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring Plan (Resolution 2010-572) for the Curtis Park Village Project (P04-109) (Original Project).

Staff’s recommended project decision consists of approving 31 housing units on the 2.3-acre Flex Parcel site and the analysis of impacts and mitigation in the EIR is adequate for the scope of this development. CEQA Guidelines provides that a lead agency shall not prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR unless one or more of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 is present. Following staff review, it was determined that the project did not result in any of the circumstances identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. No further environmental review is

File ID: 2025-01456 9/9/2025
required.

The EIR can be found at:
https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/planning/environmental/impact-reports 200-Year Flood Protection: State Law (SB 5) and Planning and Development Code chapter 17.810 require that the City must make specific findings prior to approving certain entitlements for projects within a flood hazard zone. The purpose is to ensure that new development will have protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. The project site is within a flood hazard zone and is an area covered by SAFCA’s Improvements to the State Plan of Flood Control System, and specific findings related to the level of protection have been incorporated as part of this project.

Even though the project site is within a flood hazard zone, the local flood management agency, SAFCA, has made adequate progress on the construction of a flood protection system that will ensure protection from a 200-year flood event or will achieve that protection by 2025. This is based on the SAFCA Urban level of flood protection plan, adequate progress baseline report, and adequate progress toward an urban level of flood protection engineer’s report that were accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2016-0226 on June 21, 2016 and the SAFCA 2024 Adequate Progress Annual Report accepted by City Council Resolution No. 2024-0311 on October 22, 2024.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Sustainability: The 2040 General Plan was designed to promote sustainable land use by prioritizing infill development and higher-density development within convenient walking distance of public transit. Multi-unit dwellings located within proximity of a light rail station will help to improve transit ridership and encourage alternative modes of transportation.

Commission/Committee Action: On June 24, 2024, the Planning and Design Commission conducted a public hearing and approved entitlements associated with the Flex Parcel site to construct 31 single-unit dwellings in the Shopping Center (SC-PUD) zone and denied entitlements associated with the Multi Parcel site to construct 30 single-unit dwellings within the Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-4A-PUD) zone and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Multi-Family Housing designation.

Rationale for Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve entitlements associated with the “Flex Zone” property (2325 10th Avenue), subject to the conditions of approval within Attachment 4.

Staff recommends that the City Council deny entitlements associated with the “Multi Parcel” site (2341 Omaha Beach Avenue). Staff finds the proposal to construct single-unit dwellings on the MultiFamily Housing site to be inconsistent with the Curtis Park Village PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines, City of Sacramento 2040 General Plan land use policies, and the Greater Land Park Community Plan.

Background Information and Entitlement History
The Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD), adopted in 2010 by City Council, is a 72-acre area south of Sacramento’s Central City. It is surrounded to the north and east by residential neighborhoods, to the south by light industrial development across Sutterville Road, and to the west by Sacramento City College, rail tracks, and the City College light rail station. Most of the PUD is now developed and includes thousands of square feet of commercial development and hundreds of housing units.

The two subject parcels (the 2.49-acre “Flex Parcel” and the 2.37-acre “Multi Parcel”) are the only significantly sized remaining undeveloped residential parcels within the PUD boundaries. According to available permit records and historic aerial imagery, the parcels have remained vacant since at least the 1990’s after the former Western Pacific/Southern Pacific Railroad companies ceased their operations in the vicinity.

Figure 1: Aerial view of subject site and surroundings (Google) Background: Flex Parcel Site / Flex Zone PUD Designation On September 28, 2010, City Council approved the establishment of the Curtis Park Village PUD. Originally, two parcels totaling ±5 acres were designated as “Flex Zone” property within the PUD between Omaha Beach Avenue, Crocker Drive, 10th Avenue, and the railroad tracks. The Flex Zone was initially created, “…in recognition that development in this area is not expected to occur for a number of years and market conditions will likely change during this period of time.” Per City Council Resolution 2010-176, plans for the Flex Zone site could consist of residential, commercial, office, or public use, and required City Council approval to assign a land use to the Schematic Plan. (P04-109)
On June 11, 2013, the ±2.23-acre western Flex Zone parcel was approved for a 91-unit affordable senior apartment complex by City Council Resolution 2013-0195. The apartment project completed construction in 2016. (P13-023) In late 2016, an application was submitted to develop the eastern Flex Zone parcel (2325 10th Avenue) with a ±40,000 square foot retail building (DR16-329). This application was withdrawn.

On June 20, 2023, Sacramento City Council adopted a Resolution (2023-0218) to designate the eastern Flex Parcel site for residential use. (P22-025) Background: Multi Parcel Site / Multi-Family Housing PUD Designation The Multi Parcel is a vacant ±2.37-acre site designated by the Curtis Park Village PUD for up to 131 units of multi-family/high-density housing. The applicant is proposing to amend the PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines to develop the parcel with 31 singleunit dwellings.

The originally approved Curtis Park Village PUD document for the entire 72-acre area anticipated 527 total dwelling units including 248 “multi-family residences” and 90 “senior multi-family residences.” Section 2.5 of the PUD further states “multi-family residential uses shall consist of affordable senior housing and market rate multi-family housing,” distinguishing that there are two types of multi-family development required within the PUD’s Multi-Family designation.

On January 28, 2016, the Planning and Design Commission approved a PUD Amendment and entitlement package (project P15-027) that reduced the anticipated number of the PUD’s multi-unit dwellings by 113 units and increased the anticipated number of the PUD’s single-unit dwellings by 96 units. It also increased the allowed height of buildings within the Multi-Family designation from 45 feet to 55 feet to “allow for a higher density housing project of up to four stories over podium parking.” (PUD Guidelines section 2.1.3.A – Concept and Land Use; Multi-Family Housing Area) Attachment 9 shows the originally approved PUD Schematic Plan land uses, the 2016 amended PUD Schematic Plan, and the currently proposed PUD Schematic Plan amendment, and demonstrates the change (reduction) in land dedicated to the MultiFamily Housing designation.

Affordable Housing within the Curtis Park Village PUD
Construction of the 91-unit affordable senior apartment complex on the western Flex Zone parcel satisfied the Inclusionary Housing Plan requirement for the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development for up to 527 residential units (including the 91 senior units). The existing number of units plus the current proposed number of units within the PUD boundaries would be less than 450.

Entitlement Review
Tentative Subdivision Map- Flex Parcel
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing ±2.49-acre Flex Parcel into 31 residential parcels and three common parcels. The three common parcels provide access as alleys and a street through the site. The common parcels, lighting, and landscaping would be maintained by a Homeowners Association.

The residential parcels are generally between 31 and 37 feet wide and between 64 and 79 feet wide, and range in size from ±2,000 to ±3,140 square feet. Neither the Shopping Center (SC) Zone nor the Curtis Park Village PUD establish lot size, lot width, or lot depth development standards for the creation of new parcels; therefore, the proposed subdivision of the site does not require any deviations from development standards.

Each residential lot would contain one residence each.

Project Area: Total site: ±4.86-acres
Flex Parcel: ±2.49-acres
Multi Parcel: ±2.37-acres
Existing Use: Vacant
Zoning: Flex Parcel: Shopping Center (SC-PUD)
Multi Parcel: Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-4A-PUD)
Proposed Use: Flex Parcel: 31 single-unit dwellings
Multi Parcel: 30 single-unit dwellings
General Plan Designation: Flex Parcel: Residential Mixed Use Multi Parcel: Neighborhood
Minimum Density: Flex Parcel: 15 dwelling units per acre Multi Parcel: 3 dwelling units per acre
Conditional Use Permit (CUP)- Flex Parcel
The Flex Parcel is zoned SC-PUD. Multi-unit dwelling residential development is permitted “by right” without the need of a CUP in the SC zone. Single-unit dwelling residential development within the Shopping Center (SC) zone however requires Planning and Design Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The CUP process is designed to evaluate a project’s potential impact on a site and the surrounding area.

In 2023, City Council adopted a Resolution to designate the subject Flex Parcel site for residential use. The associated staff report supported a residential designation for the parcel:
“Staff believes residential is an optimal use of the site since the area already includes plentiful restaurant, retail and commercial service uses, and since future residential site development will provide a quality living environment in walking distance to Sacramento City College, Curtis Park, the City College light rail transit station, and shopping and service needs. Furthermore, residential development will enhance the vitality of local commercial space.” Staff maintain the perspective that residential development is an optimal use of the site, find the current Flex site proposal to be consistent with the PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines, and therefore support the CUP for single-unit dwelling development on the Flex Site.

Since its establishment in 2010, the Curtis Park Village PUD Guidelines and Schematic Plan have contemplated the provision of market-rate, multi-family residences in the neighborhood and have reserved a specific location to provide high density housing, creating an alternative dwelling type for the neighborhood.

Site Plan and Design Review- Flex Parcel
Access and Circulation
The Flex Parcel has existing off-site infrastructure improvements including a 6-foot-wide separated sidewalk along Crocker Drive, 6-foot-wide sidewalks along 10th and Omaha Beach Avenues, and an alley between the site and senior apartments site to the west.

Private “Street B”, directly across from Ronald Reagan Way, and Alley G which is accessible from both 10th Avenue and Omaha Beach Avenue, provide vehicle access and circulation to and through the site. Landscaped pedestrian sidewalk systems (“paseos”) are provided between interior homes that face each other and not the street.

Applicable Development Standards
There are no deviations from applicable development standards. The General Plan designation of Residential Mixed Use requires a minimum of 15 dwelling units per net acre. The net acreage of the site is 2.11 acres which requires a minimum of 31 units.

The proposed lots can accommodate residential development and are consistent with existing area development. City departments and utility agencies reviewed and conditioned the project to ensure safety and functionality.

Building Design
Each house is two stories with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The ground floor contains a two-car garage, kitchen, dining, and living space. The bedrooms are generally located on the second floor. The houses range in size from 1,620 square feet to 2,071 square feet.

Figure 2: Proposed Elevations
Consistency with Applicable Design Guidelines
Staff finds the Flex Zone site and building design to be generally consistent with the principles of the Curtis Park Village PUD and the city’s Single-Unit Dwelling Design Guidelines. The proposed designs:
 reflect the scale of existing area homes
 are located toward the front of lots with minimal setbacks  provide an entry facing the street or easily identifiable from the street  minimize the appearance garages by locating them at the side or rear of homes  minimize the appearance of mass in two-story homes with an articulated façade PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines Amendment- Multi Parcel The applicant is proposing to amend the Curtis Park Village PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines to permit single-unit dwelling development within the Multi-Family Housing designation.

Planned Unit Development Schematic Plans and Guidelines are zoning instruments intended to implement a vision for a specific geographic area. They consider and guide a layout and development plan for areas comprised of a collection of individual parcels.

Based on a broader vision, the PUD designates land uses and development standards that sometimes differ from and supersede the allowed uses and standards of the individual underlying zones.

City Code Section 17.452.040.B.2.d. states, “Property within a planned unit development may be used only for the uses that are permitted in the underlying zone in which it is located and that are authorized by the schematic plan and development guidelines adopted for the property.” The Curtis Park Village PUD Guidelines specify that the use of the subject R-4A zoned parcel shall consist of affordable senior housing and market rate multi-family housing (Section 2.5, page 12). The Curtis Park Village Schematic Plan establishes that the land use allowed on the 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue site is “Multi-Family Housing,” consistent with the property’s R-4A zoning. The proposed single-unit development does not comply with these standards.

The stated vision and goals and objectives within the Curtis Park Village PUD include market-rate multi-family housing as a component in creating a “truly vibrant mixed-use neighborhood,” and a highlighted housing type in providing housing choice and an alternative type of housing for the neighborhood. The Multi Parcel site located at 2341 Omaha Beach Avenue was specifically selected as a location for the provision of MultiFamily Housing within the PUD.

The vision, goals, and objectives of the Curtis Park Village PUD, including the importance of various housing type options and that multi-family housing helps create vibrant neighborhoods, are consistent with general plan land use policies that promote a mix of residential housing types, sizes, and densities, and at varying sales price points and rental rates. Staff finds the proposed amendment to divest from the provision of market-rate multi-family housing within the PUD area inconsistent with City of Sacramento 2040 General Plan land use policies related to diversity in housing opportunities and increased residential development intensity near transit.

Staff does not agree with the applicant’s assertion within the narrative of this current proposed amendment that there are any omissions needing to be rectified related to any prior Curtis Park Village PUD Amendment. The 131-unit number (taken from the Schematic Plan map) refers to potential density of the Multi Parcel site only and does not refer to an expected cumulative density involving the Flex Parcels.

Staff recommends denial of the request to amend the Curtis Park Village PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines and the associated Multi Parcel Tentative Subdivision Map and Site Plan and Design Review entitlements to allow single-unit dwelling development within the Multi-Family Housing designation.

Tentative Subdivision Map- Multi Parcel
The applicant proposes to subdivide the 2.37-acre Multi Parcel into 30 residential parcels and five common parcels. The five common parcels provide access as alleys and a street through the site. The common parcels, lighting, and landscaping would be maintained by a Homeowners Association.

The residential parcels are generally between 35 and 41 feet wide and between 65 and 70 feet wide, and range in size from ±2,275 to ±2,905 square feet.

Staff finds that the subdivision of property to accommodate single-unit development is inconsistent with the PUD Schematic Plan and Title 17, Planning and Development Code requirements (City Code Section 17.452.040.B.2.d.) Site Plan and Design Review- Multi Parcel
Access and Circulation
The Multi Parcel has existing off-site 6-foot-wide sidewalk infrastructure improvements along Veterans First and Omaha Beach Avenues. Private “Street A,” which runs between Bronze Star Way and Omaha Beach Avenue, and four interior alleys provide vehicle access and circulation to and through the site. Paseos are provided between interior homes that face each other and not the street.

Applicable Development Standards
The General Plan designation of Neighborhood requires a minimum of 3 dwelling units per net acre. The net acreage of the site is 2.01 acres which requires a minimum of 6 units. There are no deviations from applicable development standards.

Building Design
The Multi Parcel site has the same housing designs as the Flex Parcel site.

CONSIDERING THE CERTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, THE

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS

AND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE CROCKER VILLAGE

RESIDENTIAL PROJECT
(P24-028)

BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2024, the Planning and Design Commission conducted a public hearing and approved entitlements associated with the Flex Parcel site to construct 31 single-unit dwellings in the Shopping Center (SC-PUD) zone and denied entitlements associated with the Multi Parcel site to construct 30 singleunit dwellings within the Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-4A-PUD) zone and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Multi-Family Housing designation.

On September 9, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing, for which notice was given pursuant Sacramento City Code, and received and considered evidence concerning the Crocker Village Residential project (P24-028).

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

Section 1. The City Council finds as follows:

A. On April 1, 2010 pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq. (“CEQA”), the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §15000 et seq.), and the City of Sacramento environmental guidelines, the City Council certified an environmental impact report (EIR) and, on September 28, 2010, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR, adopted findings of fact and findings of overriding consideration, adopted a mitigation monitoring program, and approved the Curtis Park Village (P04-109) project (Project). (City Council Resolutions No. 2010-174, 2010-572)
B. Staff’s recommended project decision for the Crocker Village Residential Development (P24-028) (Current Project) consists of constructing 31 housing units on the 2.3-acre “Flex Parcel” within the SC-PUD zones and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD). The request requires approval of the following entitlements: a Conditional Use Permit to develop single-unit dwellings within the SC Zone, a Tentative Subdivision Map to create 31 Rev. 061609 Page 2 of 3
residential lots, and Site Plan and Design Review for construction of 31 housing units and associated site improvements.

C. Staff determined that the proposed changes to the original Project did not require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and that the original EIR is adequate for purposes of environmental review.

Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the previously certified EIR for the Project, the previously adopted findings of fact and findings of overriding consideration, and all oral and documentary evidence received during the hearing on the Project Modification.

The City Council finds that the previously certified EIR constitutes an adequate, accurate, objective, and complete review of the proposed Project Modification and finds that none of the circumstances in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present and that additional environmental review is required based on the reasons set forth below:

A. No substantial changes are proposed by the Project Modification that will require major revisions of the previously certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; B. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project Modification will be undertaken which will require major revisions to the previously certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
C. No new information of substantial importance has been found that shows any of the following:

1. The Project Modification will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previously certified EIR;

2. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previously certified EIR;

3. Mitigation measures previously found to be infeasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project Modification; or

4. Mitigation measures which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previously certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

Rev. 061609 Page 3 of 3
Section 3. The mitigation monitoring program for the Project remains in effect and will be applied to the Project Modification. The mitigation monitoring program meets the requirements of CEQA section 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines section 15091.

Section 4. Upon approval of the Project Modification, the City Manager shall file or cause to be filed a Notice of Determination with the Sacramento County Clerk and, if the project requires a discretionary approval from any state agency, with the State Office of Planning and Research, pursuant to section 21152(a) of the Public Resources Code and the State EIR Guidelines adopted pursuant thereto.

Section 5. Pursuant to Guidelines section 15091(e), the documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council has based its decision are located in and may be obtained from, the Office of the City Clerk at 915 I Street, Sacramento, California. The City Clerk is the custodian of records for all matters before the City Council.

On February 25, 2010, the City Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on, and forwarded to the City Council a.recommend ation to approve with conditions the Curtis Park Village Project
B. On April 1, 2010 the City Council conducted _a public hearing, for which notice was given pursuant Sacramento City Code Section 17.200.010 (C)(2)(a, b, and c) (publication, posting, and mail (500 feet)) and received and considered evidence concerning the Curtis Park Village Project. The City Council certified the environmental impact report (EIR) for the project, entitled Curtis Park Village Project (State Clearinghouse Number 2004-082020). The EIR addressed the potential , . , .
environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the Curtis Park Village project and proposed update to the previously-app roved- Remedial` Action Plan (RAP) (1995) for the remediation of the contamination on the project site.

C.

Subsequent to the certification of the EIR, DTSC began the process associated with an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), concerning the 1995 RAP. DTSC conducted a public meeting on September 15, 2010 to discuss the proposed changes to the 1995 RAP.

The ESD would supplement the 1995 RAP administrative record with the proposed changes to the 1995 RAP to assure that any negative impacts to the environment are minimized. The DTSC would file a Notice of Determination (NOD) in compliance with CEQA for the ESD when approved.

If the ESD is approved by the DTSC, the update to the RAP, as analyzed in the Curtis Park Village environmental impact, report would not be necessary.

E. These Findings of Fact and the Mitigation Monitoring Plan do not address any impacts or mitigation associated with the update to the 1995 RAP.

Exhibit A - CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding ' Considerations for the Curtis Park Village Project
Description of the Proiect
The proposed project would covert the existing 72-acre project site into a mixed-use, urban infill development. Curtis Park Village, as proposed, would be one of Sacramento City's largest infill projects. The intent of the project is to create a neighborhood consisting of singlefamily home sites, multi-family and senior multi-family residential complexes, a neighborhood park-area, and neighborhood-serving-retail and commercial development areas: The° proposed project includes-approximately 260,000 square--feet-of commercial=retail; 189 single-family home sites, an 90-unit senior multi-family housing complex, a 117-unit multifamily residential housing complex, a 131 -unit multi-family residential housing complex, and an 8.7=acre (6.8 net acres) park.

The proposed project site is currently contaminated with hazardous wastes from the railyard era and remediation of the site is continuing to occur, pursuant to a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) approved by the DTSC in 1995. Senate Bill 120 (1998), adopted for the Curtis Park Village project site, states that DTSC cannot make a determination that the remediation of the site is complete until the City has completed its land use planning process and the remediation necessary to allow the approved land use plan is complete. The DTSC determination that the remediation is complete includes such actions as issuing a certification, a no further action letter, or a closure letter.

Findings Required Under CEQA

1. Procedural Findings
The City°Cbuncif of the Gifyof Sacramento finds as foAows - ^ Based onthe iitial_tudy conducted _foraCurtis Park=V_illge Project,aS.C.H ;#:2004A82020 (herein after the Project), the City of Sacramento's Community Development Department determined, on substantial evidence, that the Project may have a significant. effect on.the environment and prepared an environmental impact report ("EIR") on the Project. The EIR was prepared, noticed, published, circulated, reviewed, and completed in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. (Public Resources Code §21000 et seq. ("CEQA"), the CEQA Guidelines ( 14 California Code of Regulations §15000 et seq.), and the City of Sacramento environmental guidelines, as follows:
. a. A Notice of Preparation of the Draft EIR was filed with the Office of Planning and Research and each responsible and trustee agency August 4, 2004 and was circulated for public comments from August 4, 2004 through September 3, 2004. A revised Notice of Preparation was filed on May 12, 2008 for a 30-day comment period, due to changes to the project description; a second revised NOP was released on November 12, 2008 for a 30-day comment period due to additional project description changes. b. A Notice of Completion (NOC) and copies of the Draft EIR were distributed to the Office of Planning and Research on April 1, 2009, to those public agencies that have Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 4
jurisdiction by law with respect to the Project, or which exercise authority over resources that may be affected by the Project, and to other interested parties and agencies as required by law. The comments of such persons and agencies were sought. c. An official 45-day public comment period for the Draft EIR was established by the Office of Planning and Research. The public comment period began on April 1, 2009 and ended on May 15, 2009..
d. A Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR was mailed to all interested groups, organizations, and individuals who had previously requested notice in writing on April. . 112009.- The NOA-stated-that -the City-of Sacramento had'cornpleted the Draft -E1Rand-that .^ copies were available at the-City-of Sacramento,- Development-Services Department; New ''°i City Hall, 915,1 Street, Third Floor, Sacramento, California 95814.

3. Findings
CEQA requires that the lead agency adopt mitigation measures or alternatives, where feasible, to substantially lessen or avoid significant environment impacts that would otherwise occur. Mitigation measures or alternatives are not required, however, where such changes are infeasible or where the responsibility for the project lies with some other agency. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15091, sub. (a), (b).)
With respect to a project for which significant impacts are not avoided or substantially lessened, a public agency, after adopting proper findings, may nevertheless approve the project if the agency first adopts a statement of overriding considerations setting forth the specific reasons why the agency found that the project's "benefits" rendered "acceptable" its ^-. - ^_ ^ = -^-- "unavoidable adverse environmental effects."-(CEQA_Guidein_es §§ 1509 -3, 15-043, sub. (b); see also Pub. Resources Code, § 21081, sub. (b))
In seeking to effectuate the substantive policy of CEQA to substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental effects to the extent feasible, an-agency, in adopting findings, need not necessarily address the feasibility of both mitigation measures and ^environmentally superior alternatives when contemplating approval of a proposed project with significant impacts. Where a significant impact can be mitigated to an "acceptable" level solely by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures, the agency, in drafting its findings, has no obligation to consider the feasibility of any environmentally superior alternative that could also substantially lessen or avoid that same impact - even if the alternative would render the impact less severe than would the proposed project as mitigated. (Laurel Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 Cal.App.3d 515, 521; see also Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 692, 730-731; and Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California ("Laurel Heights P) (1988) 47 Cal.3d 376, 400-403.)
In these Findings, the City first addresses, the extent to which each significant environmental effect can be substantially lessened or avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Only after determining that, even with the adoption of all feasible mitigation Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 6
measures, an effect is significant and unavoidable does the City address the extent to which alternatives described in the EIR are (i) environmentally superior with respect to that effect and (ii) "feasible" within the meaning of CEQA.

In cases in which a project's significant effects cannot be mitigated or avoided, an agency, after adopting proper findings, may nevertheless approve the project if it first adopts a, statement of overriding considerations setting forth the specific reasons why the agency found that the "benefits of the project outweigh the significant effects on the environment." (Public Resources Code, Section 21081, sub. (b); see also, CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15093, 15043, sub.(b).) In the Statement of Overriding Considerations found at the end of = these Findings,-the City identifies the specific economic, social:, and-other considerations that;- in its judgment;-outweigh the°significant-environmental°effects that, the- Project wilFcause-'---- The California Supreme Court has stated that "[t]he wisdom of approving ... any development project, a delicate task which requires a balancing of interests, is necessarily left to the sound discretion of the local officials and their constituents who are responsible for such decisions. .The law as we interpret and apply it simply requires that those decisions be informed, and therefore balanced.". (Goleta ll (1990) 52 Cal.3d 553.at 576.) In support of its approval of the Project, the City Council makes the following findings for each of the significant environmental effects and alternatives of the Project identified in the EIR pursuant to Section 21080 of CEQA and section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines:

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010
A. Significant or Potentially Significant Impacts Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level.

The following significant and potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project, including cumulative impacts, are being mitigated to a less than significant level-and are set out below. Pursuant to Section 21081(a)(1) of CEQA and Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, as to each such impact, the City Council, based on the evidence in the record before it, finds that changes or alterations incorporated into the Project by means of conditions or otherwise, mitigate, avoid or substantially lessen to a level of insignificance these significant or potentially-significant -environmental impacts of the Project. The basis for ° =-the finding for each identified-: impact is set forth-below.

Transportation and Circulation

5.2-1 Impacts to study intersections under baseline plus project conditions. The proposed Project and all access scenarios would increase traffic volumes at the following study intersections such that the levels of service are lower than required by the City's 2030 General Plan: Freeport Blvd/2nd Avenue; Sutterville Road/Road A; Sutterville/SR 99 Southbound Ramps; Road A/Area 3. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:

5.2-1(a) At the Freeport Boulevard / 2"d Avenue intersection, provide protected leftturn phasing for the northbound and southbound approaches.

5.2-1(b) At the Sutterville Road l Road A intersection, provide overlap signal phasing to allow the southbound Road A right turning traffic to proceed on a green ^ -^ ^^ ^ ^ arrow simultaneously with theeastbound left turniiig movement ^
, and prohibit
_
U-turns for the eastbound left turning movement; add a southbound left-right lane _to pro_vide one leftwturn^lane,-one-left:r.ig%t:lane,°and_one-right_tur:nelane, _ and provide a dedicated right turn lane for the westbound Sutterville Road approach to the intersection.

5.2-1(c). Modify the southbound approach to the Sutterville Road /SR99 SB Ramps intersection to provide a left-turn lane, a combination left-through-lane, and two right-turn lanes. This change would bring the right-turning movements under.signal control. This mitigation measure is required at five percent of development based on trip generation. The design of the mitigation is subject to the approval of the City Transportation Department and Caltrans.

5.2-1(d) At the Road A /Area.3 intersection, provide separate right-turn and left-turn lanes on the eastbound approach:

Finding: The project is required to provide roadway and signal timing improvements that would reduce the impacts by improving the circulation in the area.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010
With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level. .

5.2-7 Impacts to on-site traffic circulation and safety under baseline plus project conditions.

The site plan submitted by the project applicant shows horizontal roadway curves at some locations that do not meet the City's centerline radius standards. In addition, the site plan shows angled parking stalls that require automobiles to back into pedestrian crosswalks. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this- impact:- _ = -

5.2-7(a) The design plans for the project shall be consistent with City standards. Any deviations are subject to the approval of the City Department of Transportation, Traffic Engineering Division. The horizontal curvatures shall be realigned or design. elements such as "knuckles" shall be installed in compliance with City standards.

5.2-7(b) The site design shall be modified to reduce the potential for vehicles leaving parking stalls to back across pedestrian crosswalks. This change may require the elimination of some angle parking spaces.

Finding: The project site design, including potential circulation is required to conform to City standards. In addition, the, site designs will be modified to reduce the potential of vehicles backing across pedestrian crosswalks. According .to the traffic report, after implementation of the site design, the project impact to onsite traffic and safety under baseline plus project conditions would be less than significant.

5.2-9 Traffic impacts during construction. Construction activities, including the import of clean fill material, would result in disruptions to the circulation system in and around the project area, including temporary street and sidewalk closures. Heavy equipment would need to access the project site. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:

5.2-9(a) Before issuance of grading permits for the project site, the project applicant shall prepare a detailed Traffic Management Plan that will be subject to review and approval by the City Department of Transportation, Regional Transit, and local emergency service providers, including the City of Sacramento fire and police departments. The plan shall ensure maintenance of acceptable operating conditions on local roadways and transit routes. At a minimum, the plan shall include:

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 9
• The number of truck trips, time, and day of street closures; • Time of day of arrival and departure of trucks;
• Limitations on the size and type of trucks and provision of a staging area with a limitation on the number of trucks that can be waiting; • Provision of a truck circulation pattern;
• Provision of a driveway access plan to maintain safe vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle movements (e.g., steel plates, minimum distances of open trenches,. and private vehicle pick up and drop off Finding:
areas);
• Safe and efficient access routes

Proper advance warning and posted signage concerning street closures;
- - - - -
Efficient and convenient transit routes:

Manual traffic control when necessary-
• Provisions for pedestrian safety; and
• Provisions for temporary bus stops, if necessary.

A copy of the construction traffic management plan shall be submitted to local emergency response agencies and these agencies shall be notified at least 14 days before the commencement of construction that would partially or fully obstruct roadways.

5.2-10,Cumulative traffic impacts to study intersections. The project would cause traffic operations at eight on- and off-site intersections- to drop from acceptable levels, of service to non-acceptable levels or would increase the delay at intersections operating at LOS C, without the project, by five>seconds or more. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:

5.2-10(a) 24r" Street / 2nd A venue - The project applicant shall pay a fair share contribution to install a traffic signal at this intersection.

5.2- 1 D(b) 24th Street / Portola Way - The project applicant shall pay a fair share contribution to install a traffic signal at this intersection.

Air Quality
Resolution 2010-572. September 28, 2010 11
Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:
53-2 Impacts related to exhaust emissions and fugitive particulate matter emissions from project-associated construction activities. The California Air Resources Boardidentified particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines as a toxic air contaminant.

Because health risks associated with particulate matter are a function of concentration and duration of exposure, it was determined that emissions from diesel-powered construction equipment would not affect any specific receptor for any length of time.

However; controlled emissions from-diesel-powered-vehicles-and-equipment-and -dustgenerated during site grading would exceed 80 pounds per day and,-thereby, result in local exceedances of the particular matter air quality, standards. Without mitigation, this is a. significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this. impact: .

5.3-2(a) The project applicant shall ensure that emissions from all off-road diesel powered equipment used on the project site do not exceed 40 percent opacity for more than three minutes in any one hour. Any equipment found to exceed 40 percent opacity (or Ringe/mann 2. 0) shall be repaired immediately, and SMAQMD shall be notified within 48 hours of identification of non-compliant equipment. A visual survey of all in-operation equipment shall be made at least weekly, and a monthly summary of the visual survey results shall be submitted throughout the duration of the project, except that the monthly summary shall not be required for any 30-day period in which no construction 'activity occurs. The monthly summary shall include the ^

The SMAQMD and/or other officials may conduct periodic site inspections to _ _
^_^ ,deter:m, ►ne_compliance._Nothing rn.tfiis sect^on: s.hall supercede__other_ __ _ _-_- SMAQMD or state rules or regulations.

5.3-2(b) Prior to the approval of any grading permit, the project proponent shall submit a dust-control plan, approved by the SMAQMD, to the City of Sacramento Community Development Department. The dust-control plan shall stipulate grading schedules associated with the project phase, as well as the dust-control measures to be implemented. Grading of proposed project phases shall be scheduled so that the total area of disturbance would not exceed 15 acres on any given day. The dust control plan shall be incorporated into all construction contracts issued as part of the proposed project development. The dust-control plan shall, at a minimum, incorporate the following measures:
• Apply water, chemical stabilizer/suppressant, or vegetative cover to disturbed areas, including storage piles that are not being actively Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 12
used for construction purposes, as well as any portions of the construction site that remain inactive for longer than 3 months; • Water exposed surfaces sufficient to control fugitive dust emissions during demolition, clearing, grading, earth-moving, or excavation operations. Actively disturbed areas should be kept moist at all times; • Cover all vehicles hauling dirt; sand, soil or other loose material or maintain at least two feet of freeboard in accordance with the requirements of California Vehicle Code Section 23114;
• Limit or expeditiously remove the accumulation of project-generated mud or dirt from adjacent public streets at least once every 24 hours °`- -`- when construction operations are occurring; ar► d -- ,- •" "Limitonsite vehicle speeds"on unpaved sun`aces to 15 mph; or less:

Finding: The SMAQMD's Guide to Air Quality Assessment recommends measures to reduce the amount of particulate matter generated during grading. The project applicant is required to ensure that all off-road diesel powered equipment does not exceed 40 percent opacity for more than three minutes. In addition the applicant shall submit a dust-control plan to the City of Sacramento Community Development Department. Measures within the dust-control plan would reduce fugitive particulate matter emissions to a less than significant level.

With implementation of the mitigation measure, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

5.3-3 Impacts related to a temporary increase in Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. NOx are ozone precursors and could contribute to the creation of smog. Constructiongenerated emissions of NOx are short-term and temporary, lasting only as,long as construction occurs. However, it was determined that the vehicles. and equipment associated with construction of the project would result in NOx emission he standard. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact. -Mitigation-Measure^(from-MM P)-The^following-mitigation=measures-have--been-adopted-to^- address this impact:

5.3-3(a) Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the, applicant shall submit a SMAQMDapproved plan, which demonstrates that the heavy-duty (>50 horsepower) off-road vehicles to be used during construction of the project (including owned, leased, and subcontracted vehicles) will achieve a project-wide average of 20 percent NOx reduction and 45 percent particulate matter reduction, based on the most recent CARB fleet average at the time of construction. In addition, the applicant shall submit to SMAQMD a comprehensive inventory of all off-road construction equipment (>50 horsepower) that will be used an aggregate of 40 or more hours during any portion of the construction project. The inventory shall include the horsepower rating, engine production year, and project hours of use or fuel throughput for each piece of equipment. The inventory shall be updated and submitted monthly throughout the. duration of 'the project. Inventory shall not be required for any 30-day period in which construction activities do not Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 . 13,
occur. At least 48 hours prior to the use of subject heavy-duty off-road equipment, the applicant shall provide SMAQMD with the anticipated construction timeline, including the start date and the name and phone number of the project manager and on-site foreman.

5.3-3(b) Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide a construction mitigation fee to the SMAQMD sufficient to offset project emissions of NOx above 85 pounds per day. The amount of the fee shall be based on updated construction scheduling and equipment lists, and shall be calculated using the SMAQMD method of estimating excess emissions. The current price of NOX construction `offsets -calculated-by SIVIAQMD is $16, 000 per ton.

Finding: The project applicant is required to submit a plan and inventory which demonstrates that the heavy duty off-road vehicles used during ^construction will achieve project-wide emission reduction, based on the most recent CARB fleet average. In addition, the applicant is required to pay a construction mitigation fee to the SMAQMD sufficient-to offset project emissions of NOx above 85 pounds per day. A reduction of construction vehicle emissions and payment of mitigation fees would reduce the impact related to a temporary increase in NOx emissions to a less than significant level.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

Noise

5.4-2 Construction noise impacts to surrounding existing uses. Although construction activities are exempted from the noise standards in the City Code, construction of the _- _ ^ s ^ -- -^- = - --^----: _ F ^^ project could expose nearby noise=sensitive ^eceptors to higfi levels of noise during the day. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measure has been adopted to address this impact:

5.4-2 Construction activities shall be limited to the hours set forth below, unless an exception is granted by the Community Development Department.

Monday through Saturday
7-00 a. m. to 6:00 p.m.

Sunday
9:00 a. m. to 6:00 p.m.

These restricted hours shall be included on all grading and construction plans submitted for the review and approval of the Community Development Department prior to issuance of grading and construction permits.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 201-0. 14
Finding: Construction activities are exempt from noise standards and would be limited to the hours set by the mitigation. Construction related noise would not occur during prohibited hours and a less than significant impact would occur.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

5.4-7 Railroad noise levels at exterior noise spaces of proposed project residences. The residential development that lies approximately 100. feet from the Union Pacific Railroad tracks could be exposed to exterior noise that exceeds the City's standards.

Without mitigation-; this is°a significant impact:

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation 'measure has been adopted to address this impact:

5.4-7 Prior to the issuance of building permits, a noise barrier shall be shown on the plans along the western boundary of the project site, from the northern boundary of the CPV site to the southern end of any parcel with residences for the review and approval of the City Engirieer. A barrier 10 feet in height (relative to-nearest outdoor activity elevations) would intercept line of sight to railroad pass-bys, thereby reducing future UPRR noise levels to 70 dB Ldn or less at the nearest outdoor activity areas proposed adjacent to the tracks.

Barriers can take the form of earthen berms, solid walls; or a combination of the two. Appropriate materials for noise walls include precast concrete or masonry block. Other materials may be acceptable provide they have a surface density of approximately four pounds per square foot.

Finding: The project includes construction of a noise barrier 10 feet in height along the _-- : -- -_.m^^ ^ - -- - vireste^n boundaryto the southern end of any parcel with residences._According to the Noise Report, construction of the noise barrier would reduce railroad - -

5.4-8 Railroad noise levels rat interior spaces. of proposed residences on the. project site. The residential development that lies approximately 100 feet from the Union Pacific Railroad tracks could be exposed to interior noise that exceeds the City's standards.

Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:

5.4-8(a) Prior to the issuance of building permits, all residential lots and residential buildings located within the 70 dB Ldn contour shall include noise insulation features such as the following:

Resolution-2010-572 September 28, 2010 15
• Sound-rated windows, and doors with STC rating of 35; and • Stucco exterior siding:

5.4-8(b) Prior to sale of any residential lots, statements shall be included in the title for all properties within the 65 dB Ldn.contour that informs the buyer of elevated noise levels during train passages, and that train passages routinely occur during nighttime hours.

Finding: , All residential lots within the 70 dB Ldn contour shall include insulation features.

In addition, the buyer of a residence within the 65 dB Ldn contour shall be _. informed' of elevated noise-levels during train passages The Noise=Repo determined that with insulation and notification the impact related to railroadnoise levels at interior spaces of proposed residences would be less than significant level.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

5.4-9 Noise-producing commercial uses proposed within the project site. If unshielded nighttime truck circulation or unloading occurs within the commercial areas of the project site, the noise generated by these activities could result in noise above City standards. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to address this impact:

5.4-9(a) Unshielded (i.e. unloading activities. which are visible from any residential window) nighttime truck unloading shall be prohibited within 200 feet of any residential unit.
5:4-9(b) Prior to _ issuance of a building permit, the site plans shall indicate that a .._ . . , __ vparapetwallshall-be-constr:ucted=along=the-edge=ofthe^roofs.ofthecommercial buildings of sufficient height to intercept line of sight from rooftop mechanical equipment at the nearest residences to reduce noise levels at those nearby residences.

Finding: Unshielded nighttime truck unloading shall be prohibited within 200 feet of any = residential unit. In addition, a parapet wall would be constructed along the edge of the roofs of commercial buildings to intercept the line of sight from rooftop mechanical equipment at the nearest residences. The Noise Report determined that with restricted nighttime unloading and parapet walls, the noise producing commercial uses within the project site would be less than significant level.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

5.4-10 Park generated noise at residential uses proposed within the project site. There would be residences constructed on the project site that would be located approximately 200 Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 16
feet from the center a soccer field. The resulting noise could exceed the City's standards. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measure has been adopted to address this impact:

5.4-10 Park activities shall be restricted to daytime hours, with exceptions allowed on a case-by-case basis subject to the approval of the Director of the Parks and Recreation.

Finding: Park-activities would be restricted°to daytime hours. Therefore; park-generated- - - noise would not impact residentiaF uses°during-evening hours and -a-less than` =` residential significant impact would occur.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

The developer shall arrange for burrowing owl surveys to be performed consistent with the CDFG's 1995 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl and the California Burrowing Owl Consortium's (CBOC) Survey Protocol (1997) not less than 30 days prior to ground disturbance for each phase of project grading. If burrowing owls are not detected, further mitigation is not necessary. However, if burrowing owls are detected the following steps shall be taken:

If site disturbance commences during the nesting season (between February 1 and August 31) and burrowing owls are detected, a fenced buffer shall be erected on the project site by the developer not less than 250 feet between the nest burrow(s) and construction activities. The 250-foot buffer shall be observed and the fence left intact until a qualified raptor biologist determines that the young are foraging independently, the nest has failed, or the owls are not using any burrows within the buffer.

If ground disturbance associated with grading.or construction commences Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 17
outside' of the nesting season, and burrowing owl(s) are present on-site or within 160 feet of site disturbance, passive relocation consistent with.the CDFG Staff Report (1995) and the CBOC Survey Protocol (1997) shall be performed. At least one or more weeks will be necessary to accomplish this and allow the owls to acclimate to off-site burrows: The pre-construction surveys shall be repeated if more than 30 days elapse between the last survey and the start of construction activities.

Finding: Prior to any ground disturbance for the Curtis Park Village project, the applicant shall initiate a burrowing owl consultation with the CDFG: With Implementation of -burrowing owl surveys and-appropriate mitigation as-recommended irr:
consultation with-CDFG; the impact to burrowing°owls would°be lessthan ' significant.

With implementation of the mitigation measure, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

5.5-3 Impacts to nesting Swainson's hawks. : Due to the previous industrial activities on the project site and the current remediation activities, the site is not considered as foraging habitat for Swainson's hawks: If the project site remains undisturbed for some time after the completion of the remediation activities and priorto initiation of grading for the project, Swainson's hawk could potentially nest on the Curtis Park Village site. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measure has been adopted to address this impact:

5.5-73 If site disturbance associated with grading or construction activities is proposed by the developer during breeding season (February to August), a ; pre=construction survey for Swainson s hawk nests-sha

The results of the survey shall be submitted to CDFG and the Community Development Department. If active nests are not found during the preconstruction survey, further mitigation is not required. If active nests are found, pursuant to consultation with CDFG, a fenced buffer shall be erected by the developer on the project site not less than one-quarter mile (approximately 1,300 feet) around the active nest. Site disturbance associated with grading or construction activities that may cause nest abandonment or forced fledging shall not be initiated within this buffer zone between March 1 and September 1. Any trees containing nests that must be removed as a result of project implementation shall be removed during the non-breeding season (September to January).

Finding: Prior to site disturbance, during the Swainson's hawk breeding season, a preconstruction survey shall be conducted within 30 days prior to site disturbance/construction activities. With implementation of appropriate mitigation as recommend by CDFG, the impact to Swainson's Hawk would-be less than significant.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 18
With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level

5.5-4 Impacts to raptors and migratory birds. Suitable habitat for raptors, such as whiletailed kites, as well as migratory ground, tree, or shrub nesting avian species is present within, and adjacent to, the project site. Disruption of this habitat would be a significant impact. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted to --address this impact:° -. - -.- . =

5.5-4(a) Prior to any grading or construction activities during the nesting season (February 1 to August 15), a preconstruction survey shall be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist within 15 days of the start of project-related activities. If nests of migratory birds are detected on site, or within 75 feet (for migratory passerine birds) or 250 feet (for birds of prey) of the site, the developer shall consult with the CDFG to determine the size of a suitable buffer in which new site grading or construction disturbance is not permitted until August 15, or the qualified biologist determines that the young are foraging independently, or the nest has been abandoned.

With implementation of the mitigation measures, this impact is reduced to a less than significant level.

B. Significant or Potentially Significant Impacts for which Mitigation Measures Found To Be Infeasible.

Mitigation measures to mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the following significant and Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 19
potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project have been identified. However, pursuant to section 21081(a)(3) of the Public Resources Code and section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as to each such impact and mitigation measure, the City Council, based on the evidence in'the record before it, specifically finds that the mitigation measures are infeasible. The impact and mitigation measures and the facts supporting the finding of infeasibility of the mitigation measure is set forth below. Notwithstanding the disclosure of this impact and the finding of infeasibility, the City Council elects to approve the Project due to the overriding considerations set forth below in Section F, the statement of overriding considerations.
5:2=10 Cumulative traffic-impacts to study intersections: Theproject would cause traffic operations at-the intersection of Sutterville Road, and Curtis Drive West-to dropfromacceptable levels of service (LOS C for evening and LOS A on Saturdays) to nonacceptable levels (LOS F and D, respectively). Without mitigation, this is a significant impact. .

Finding: Adding a southbound right turn lane to the intersection would mitigate the impact but was not considered to be feasible because of the need for demolishing several existing buildings to provide additional right-of-way.

The cumulative impact for the Proposed Project and all access scenarios would remain significant and unavoidable.

C. _Significant and Unavoidable- Impacts.

The following significant and potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project, including cumulative impacts, are unavoidable and cannot be mitigated in a manner that would substantially lessen the significant impact. Notwithstanding disclosure of these impacts, the City Council elects to approve the Project due to overriding considerations as set _ - --- - ---_=- T,^ forth below in Section F, the^statement of overriding considerations.

5.2-2 Impacts to study roadway segments under baseline plus project conditions. The traffic generated by the project would result in significant traffic impacts at the Sutterville overcrossing roadway segment and on Sutterville Road between East Curtis Drive and West Curtis Drive. Without mitigation, this is a. significant impact:

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measure has been identified to reduce this impact to the extent feasible:

5.2-2 The project developer shall work with the Regional. Transit District to provide bus service or provide private shuttle service from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. between the commercial areas of the project site and the City College light rail station. As an alternative, the project developer shall coordinate with the City to reserve the required right of way needed to construct a pedestrian and bicycle bridge to provide access to the City College Station.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 20
Finding: The bus service and private shuttle mitigation measure, or the pedestrian and bicycle bridge mitigation measure, is proposed to help reduce the impact on roadway segments, but would not reduce the impact to a less than significant level. To reduce the impact to less than significant would require widening Sutterville Road. Widening of Sutterville Road would impact existing development on both sides of Sutterville Road and would be against the City of Sacramento Smart Growth policy. The Sutterville Road widening mitigation is not considered to be feasible.

For these reasons, the impact' remains significant and una.voidable.

5.2-3= Impacts-to°freewayramps under baseline-plus project conditions: Trafficgenerated-by the project would result in traffic queues at the traffic signal at the 12th Avenue offramp to exceed the right turn storage capacity of the ramp. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measure has been adopted to address this impact to the extent feasible:
5:2-3 Implementation of Mitigation Measure 5.2-1(c) would reduce the traffic queue at the southbound 12th Avenue off-ramp for baseline conditions for the Proposed Project and all access scenarios.

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure 5.2-3 would reduc6the traffic queue at. the southbound 12th Avenue off-ramp for baseline conditions for the Proposed Project and all access scenarios. However, the reduction would not be sufficient to fully mitigate the project impacts and no other feasible mitigation measure was identified.

:®5 2 1:1_Cumulative-irripactswto.study-r.oadway-segments .-T-_h-e.project._would^add-tr.a .ffic-to__-- _ .- roadway segments in 2027 that would result in significant cumulative conditions. The effected road segments are on Sutterville railroad overcrossing, Sutterville Road, 14" Street, Freeport Boulevard, and Road A. Without mitigation, this is a significant .impact.

Finding: No mitigation was identified to reduce the significant impact for cumulative conditions on roadway segments to less than significant. To reduce the impact to less than significant for the Proposed Project and all access scenarios, Sutterville Road, 24th Street and Freeport Boulevard would need to be widened.

No-roadway widening is considered to be feasible.

While widening the on-site roadway of Road A would reduce the impact to less than significant for the Proposed Project and Access Scenarios '2 and 3, secondary impacts might arise as a result of the widening. A widened roadway would attract incremental traffic and contribute to higher speeds. Additional traffic, higher speeds, and the added roadway width would make the roadway less friendly to pedestrians and bicycles. Because Road A is located in a Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 21
commercial area where high pedestrian traffic is anticipated, a safe pedestrianfriendly street is desirable.

Mitigation Measure 5.2-2, which requires the developer to work with Regional Transit to provide or a bicycle or pedestrian connection between the commercial areas of the project site and the City College light rail station, would reduce the impact on roadway segments. However, the reduction would not be sufficient to fully mitigate the project impacts and no other feasible mitigation measure was identified.
--For reasons; the impact-remains-significant and unavoidable:

5.2-12 Cumulative impacts to freeway ramps. In 2027, the project would add traffic to 12tn Avenue off-ramp and State Highway 99 that would result in significant cumulative conditions in 2027. The southbound 12 th Avenue off-ramp would operate below standard during the p.m. and Saturday peak hours without the project. In addition, the traffic queue for the right turn movement at the northbound 12th Avenue off ramp would exceed the storage capacity of the ramp. The project would add traffic to the ramps and thereby exacerbate the conditions. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Finding: No feasible mitigation measure was identified that would reduce the 2027 cumulative impacts on the freeway ramps. . Widening the freeway would reduce the impacts, but is not considered feasible.

For these reasons, the impact remains significant and unavoidable.

Air Quality
`5.3-5 Impacts related to long-term increases of criteria air pollutants. The project would result in the development of corrimercial and office uses that would generate emissions of ozonea-precursor pollutants (i.e., reactive organic compounds and ._nitrous_oxide.s),^Thesepolluntants-ar.e.anticipated-to-exceed.thethresholds Without_- mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation. Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measures have been adopted . to address this impact to the extent feasible:

5.3-5(a) Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, the project applicant shall coordinate with the SMAQMD and the City of Sacramento Development Services Department to develop a project Air Quality Mitigation Plan (AQMP). In accordance with SMAQMD recommendations, the AQMP shall achieve a minimum overall reduction of 15 percent in the project's anticipated operational emissions. SMAQMD-recommended measures and corresponding emissions-reduction benefits are identified in SMAQMD's Guidance for Land Use Emission Reductions, which can be found in Appendix E of the SMAQMD document. The AQMP shall be reviewed and endorsed by SMAQMD staff prior to project implementation. Available measures to be included in, the AQMP include, but are not limited to, the following:

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 22
• Prohibit the installation of wood-burning fireplaces and stoves; • Provide onsite bicycle storage and showers for employees that bike to work sufficient to meet peak season maximum demand;
•. Provide preferential parking (e.g:, near building entrance, sheltered area; etc.) for carpool and vanpool vehicles;
• Provide transit enhancing infrastructure that includes: transit shelters, •
parking; or, use an open-grid pavement system (less than 50 percent impervious) for a minimum -of 50z percent of the parking-lot area. • Incorporate landscaping and sun screens to reduce energy use.

Deciduous trees should be utilized for building shading to increase solar heating during the winter months. Install sun-shading devices (e.g., screens) or recessed windows on newly proposed buildings; • Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems; • Install energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, appliances and equipment;
• Install light colored "cool" roofs and pavements (i.e., high reflectance, high emittance roof surfaces, or exceptionally high reflectance and low emittance surfaces) and strategically placed shade trees to the extent practical;
• Limit hours of operation of outdoor fighting-to- the extent practical; and • Provide shade (within 5 years) and/or use light-colored/high-albedo materials (reflectance of at least 0.3) and/or open grid pavement for at least 30 percent of the site's non-roof impervious surfaces, including parking lots, walkways, plazas, etc.; or, place a minimum of --50 percent--of--parking-spaces-underground-or-covered-by°structured--= benches, etc.; street lighting; route signs and displays; and/or bus turnouts/bulbs;
Incorporate onsite transit facility improvements (e.g., pedestrian shelters, route information, benches, lighting) to coincide with existing or plann_
ed transit service;

5.3-5(b) Documentation confirming implementation of the Air Quality Mitigation Plan shall be provided to the SMAQMD and City prior to issuance of occupancy permits.

Finding: The proposed project would have a minimum of 15 percent reduction of ROG and NOx emissions due to the implementation of the mitigation measure requiring an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the project, which requires a project to achieve a minimum overall reduction in operational emissions of 15 percent. However, the mitigation measure would not reduce the project's emissions of ROG and NOX to levels below the thresholds of significance for ozone precursors.

For these reasons, the impact remains significant and unavoidable.

5.3-8 Cumulative contribution to regional air quality conditions. Because the Sacramento Valley Air Basin is considered to be in non-attainment for ozone precursor pollutants Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 23
and PM10 and the project's long-term generation;of these pollutants would exceed the thresholds, the cumulative impacts would be considered significant. Without mitigation, this is a significant impact.

Mitigation Measure (from MMP): The following mitigation measurehas been adopted to address this impact to the extent feasible:

5.3-8. Implement Mitigation Measures 5.3-2(a) and (b) and 5.3-4(a) and (b).

Finding: Implementation of Mitigation Measure 5.4-2(a) and (b) and Mitigation Measure -°` 5.3=5(a) and (b-) would reduce-short=term and long=terni increases `in-emissions .
--attributable to the-proposed project-by a minimum of 15° percent.-However--asnoted in Impact 5.3-5, long-term operational increases in emissions would still be anticipated to exceed SMAQMD's significance threshold.

For these reasons, the impact remains significant and unavoidable.

D. Findings Related to the Relationship Between Local Short-term Uses of the Environment and Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-term Productivity.

Based on the EIR and the entire record before the City Council; the City Council makes the following findings with respect to the project's balancing of local short.term uses of the environment and the maintenance of long term productivity:
• As the project is implemented, certain impacts would occur on a short-term level: Such .short-term impacts are discussed above. Where feasible, measures have been incorporated in the project to mitigate these potential impacts. • The _project would result in the long-term commitment of resources to develop and = -__ _---=_.-_^^__----- T operate the project including water, natural gas, fossil fuels, and electricity. The longterm implementation of the project would provide economic benefits to the City. The =--.project=would^be-developed=within-an-existing-urban-area and-not-contribute.to-urban= - -- -_ sprawl. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some long-term impacts would result.

Although there are short-term and long-term adverse impacts from the project, the short-term and long-term benefits of the project justify implementation.

E. Project's Contribution of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The City of Sacramento has adopted a proactive and comprehensive approach to climate change issues, including adoption of the 2030 General Plan to encourage a pattern of urban development that avoids dispersed residential and employment centers that by their design encourage motor vehicle trips, one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

Likewise, the 2030 General Plan calls for strengthening the City's efforts to promote building standards to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings, another of the major contributors.. The Curtis Park Village project is consistent with this approach and implements the City's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010' 24
The 2030 General Plan and the Master Environmental Impact Report The City Council approved the 2030 General Plan on March 3, 2009. As part of its action, the City Council certified the Master Environmental Impact Report (Master EIR) that evaluated .the environmental effects of development that is reasonably anticipated under the 2030 General Plan. The Master EIR includes extensive discussion of the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The Master EIR discussions regarding climate change are incorporated here by reference. See, for example:

Draft EIR: 6.1 Air Quality (Page 6.1-1)
= finalEtR: City Climate-Change master=Response (Page 4-1) ° - Errata No.-2:-CIimate Change (Page-12)-
The impact of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, specifically with regard to global climate change, has been acknowledged by the City of Sacramento and others as.an inherently cumulative effect. Global climate change occurs, by definition, on a global basis.

Greenhouse gases remain in the atmosphere for extended periods, and combine with GHG emissions from other areas of the globe, thus creating an inherently cumulative impact.

The 2030 General Plan and Master EIR recognized these unique aspects of the problem.

The Master EIR acknowledges that the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from development that would be consistent with the 2030 General Plan would be cumulatively considerable, and significant and unavoidable. See Errata 2, February 23, 2009. . . _ ., , _ . - - .

In addition, at City Council direction staff reviewed the various policies and implementation programs in the 2030 General Plan that could mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and determined that a number of these policies could be revised. A list of such policies, and the changes that were made to respond to the continuing discussion of climate change, were included as part of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan that implemented mitigation identified in the ^^^_^ - -__ ^ T---= _-T_.^- --- ----------- Master Ell R- T --- .. The_effects-of the32030JGeneralPlan promotesdenser urba=development withmtthe&urrenf__ City territorial limits to.accommodate population growth, which will reduce growth pressures and sprawl in outlying areas. While total greenhouse gas emissions within the General Plan policy area may increase over time due to growth in population in the region, this increase is less than what.would have occurred if the 2030 General Plan were not adopted and development of more land in outlying areas- had been permitted under the 1988 General Plan. Adoption of the 2030 General Plan put these key strategies in place immediately and has begun to shape development as well as the activities of day-to-day living and move the City and the region toward a more sustainable future.

Because the actual effectiveness of all the feasible policies and programs included in the 2030 General Plan that avoid, minimize, or reduce greenhouse gas could not be quantified, the impact was identified in-the Master EIR as a significant and unavoidable cumulative impact.

General Plan Consistency of the Curtis Park Village Project The 2030 General Plan identifies a mix of Traditional Neighborhood Low Density (TNLD), Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 25
Traditional Neighborhood Medium Density (TNMD) and Traditional Center (TC) on the Curtis Park Village site. These designations include detached and attached single-family homes, multifamily dwellings, commercial or mixed use development and compatible public and . quasi-public uses. The Land Use and Urban Form Diagram in the 2030 General Plan designates TNLD for the northern portion of the site, TNMD for the central portion and TC in .the southern portion. Each of the three designations permit residential and commercial development. The development program analyzed in the Master EIR for the Curtis Park Village site included a mix of 549 attached and detached dwelling, units and 200;000 square feet of commercial development.
_=The proposed=Curtis Park-Village:-project development program-and mix--of uses:-is generally consistent with the -development -program^anticipated-by=the 2030 General-Plan-and theMaster EIR. The Curtis Park Village project proposes a mix of TNLD, TNMD, Traditional Neighborhood High Density, and TC development. The-proposal locates lower density single family homes to the north, higher density attached homes and apartments in the central area and commercial uses to the south. The proposed 527 dwelling units fall within the range anticipated by the General Plan (549). The 259,000,square feet of commercial space appears to be about 30% greater than was studied in the Master EIR. However, the commercial floor area ratio. (FAR) of 0:37 is well within the range of 0.3-2.0 FAR permitted in TC. As a result, the land uses and their associated density and intensity are consistent with the 2030 General Plan.

In addition to determining consistency with the Land' Use and Urban Form Diagram, goals and policies of the General Plan's ten elements are relevant.

Land Use and Urban Design Element:

LU 5 Traditional Center Urban Form Guidelines (2030 General Plan, page 2-68) ^ -- ^ _ . ^ --_ ^ ^, - .& -
1Nhile the guideliries are not goals or olicies, and are not`mandatory or`binding onthe --- applicant, they do express the City's desired urban form vision. For Traditional Centers, the guidelines-callvfor:

1. small, rectangular blocks;

2. small, narrow lots providing a fine-grained development pattern;

3. building heights ranging from one to four stories;

4. lot coverage not exceeding 80 percent;

5. buildings sited at or near the sidewalk and typically abutting one another with limited side yard setbacks;

6. building entrances set at the sidewalk;

7. rear alleys and secondary streets providing service access to reduce the need for driveways and curb cuts on the primary street;

8. parking provided on-street as well as in...lots at the side or rear of structures;

9. transparent building frontages with pedestrian-scaled articulation and, detailing;

10. moderately wide side sidewalks;

11. public streetscapes serving as the center's primary open space, complemented by outdoor seating, plazas, courtyards, and sidewalk dining areas.

These guidelines provide the staff and applicant with guidance regarding project design, and Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 26
support the City's identified goal of encouraging development by providing specific and enforceable standards for development.

LU 5 Traditional Centers Goals and Policies
Policy LU 5.3.1 Development Standards. The City shall continue to support development and operation of centers in traditional neighborhoods by providing flexibility in development standards, consistent with public health and safety, in response to constraints inherent in retrofitting older structures and in creating infill development in established neighborhoods. -Mobility Element: - - =
The following goals and policies are relevant to the,design of the Curtis Park Village project.

They primarily relate to the design of public and private streets and the desired relationships among buildings, streets and parking facilities.

Policy M 1.3.1 Grid Network. The City shall require all new residential, commercial, or mixed-use development that proposes or is required to construct or extend streets to develop a transportation network that provides for a well-connected, walkable .community, preferably as a grid or modified grid.

Policy M 1.3.2 Private Complete Streets. The City shall require large private developments (e.g., office parks, apartment complexes, retail centers) to provide internal complete streets-that connect to the existing roadway system.

Policy M 2.1.3 Streetscape Design. The City shall. require that pedestrian-oriented streets be designed to provide a pleasant environment for walking including shade trees; plantings; well-designed benches, trash receptacles, news racks, and other furniture; pedestrian-scaled lighting fixtures; wayfinding signage; integrated transit ^__^Polic_y_Me2._1_ 4^Cohesive Network_ The,Cithall develop a cohesive_pedestnan y^s _ network of public sidewalks and street crossings that makes walking a convenient and safe way to travel. _
Policy M 2.1.5 Continuous Network. The City shall provide a continuous pedestrian network in existing and new neighborhoods that facilitates convenient pedestrian travel free of major impediments and obstacles.

Policy M 2.1.6 Building Design. The City shall ensure that new buildings are designed to engage the street and encourage walking through design features such as placing the building with entrances facing the street and providing connections to sidewalks.

Policy M 2.1.7 Parking Facility Design. The City shall ensure that new automobile parking facilities are designed to facilitate safe and convenient pedestrian access, including clearly defined corridors and walkways connecting parking areas with buildings.

Policy M 2.1.8 Housing and Destination Connections. The City shall require new Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 27
subdivisions and large-scale developments to include safe pedestrian walkways that provide direct links between streets and major destinations such as transit stops and stations, schools, parks, and shopping centers.

Policy M 3.1.12 Direct Access to Stations. The City shall ensure that projects located in the Central City and within '/z mile walking distance of existing and planned` light rail stations provide direct pedestrian and bicycle access to the station area, to the extent feasible.

Goal M 4.3 Neighborhood Traffic. Enhance the quality of life within existing neighborhoods through the-use-of neighborhood -traffic management-techniques-, while - °recognizing-the-City's°desire to provide a=grid-systern-that-creates a2high-level=of connectivity.

Policy M 4.3.1 Neighborhood Traffic Management. The City shall continue wherever possible to design streets and approve development applications in such as manner as to reduce high traffic flows and parking problems within residential neighborhoods.

M 5.1.8 Connections between New Development and Bikeways. The City shall ensure that new commercial and residential development projects provide frequent and direct connections to the nearest bikeways.

Buildings constructed as part of the project would be required to comply with current California buildi.ng codes that enforce energy efficiency.

The City of Sacramento has adopted an approach that seeks to implement community development principles that encourage pedestrian-friendly, multi-use development that reduces vehicle miles travelled. The various goals and policies applicable to the project through the 2030 General Plan provides just such a framework, and are effective tools to ^^ _ _.^ mitigate climate ^cha^nge through-reductin of greenhouse gas emissions. These goals and^- policies have accurately been described in the Master.ElR as mitigation for such effects.

The City has acknowledged that the sum of greenhouse gas emissions that could be generated by development under the 2030 General Plan would be cumulatively considerable, and has identified the goals and policies under the 2030 General Plan as the primary vehicle to mitigating such impacts. This programmatic approach achieves reductions in the two main emitting categories: motor vehicle emissions and energy used in buildings. By adopting measures that are applicable community-wide, the City has implemented a reduction strategy that is fair and can be implemented with confidence that emission reductions will actually occur.

The City has identified greenhouse gas reductions goals as stated in AB 32 and other State guidance as relevant to the impact analysis. This is consistent with guidance provided by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD). In its CEQA Guide, December 2009, the District suggests that local agencies properly consider adopting a threshold that considers whether an individual project's GHG emissions would substantially hinder the State's ability to attain the goals identified in AB 32. (CEQA Guide, page 6-11) Conclusion
.Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 28
The Master EIR concluded that greenhouse gas emissions that could be emitted by development that is consistent with the 2030 General Plan would be cumulatively considerable and unavoidable (Errata No. 2, Page 12). The Master EIR includes a full analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and adequately addresses these issues.

The project is consistent with the City's goals and policies as set forth in the 2030 General Plan and Master EIR relating to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The project would not impede the City's efforts to comply with AB32 requirements. The project would not have `any°significant additional environmental effects relating togreenhouse gas°emissions-or-. --_ ^climate°change:

F. Project Alternatives.

The City Council has considered the Project alternatives presented and analyzed in . the final EIR and presented during the comment period and public hearing process. Some of these alternatives have the potential to avoid or reduce certain significant or potentially significant environmental impacts, as set forth below. The City Council finds, based on specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, that these alternatives are infeasible. Each alternative and the facts supporting the finding of infeasibility of each alternative are set forth below.

AlIalternatives to the project assume that the site is fully remediated to DTSC standards. The site is currently undergoing remediation under the auspices of DTSC.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010, 29
Alternatives Considered and Dismissed from Further Consideration Off-Site Alternative
Section 15126.6(f)(2)(B) of the CEQA Guidelines states, "If the lead agency concludes that no feasible alternative locations exist, it must disclose the reasons for this conclusion, and should include the reason in the EIR." A feasible alternative location for the proposed project that would result in substantially reduced impacts does not exist.

The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15126.6[b]) requires that only locations that would avoid or ` substantially lessen.any of the significant effects of the project need be considered for- _ inclusion-in-#he-EIR. The Off-Site Alternative°would^involve=the^construction-of-the=proposed project on an alternative location. The Off-Site Alternative would have the same type and intensity of uses as the proposed project. However; the Applicant does not own an alternative location in which to construct the proposed project. Furthermore, although other vacant properties are located in the City of Sacramento, infill parcels of substantial size like the project site are limited. It should also be noted that,, by definition, CEQA states that an alternative should avoid or substantially lessen one or more of the environmental effects of the project. Alternative locations within the City would generally contain similar characteristics as the project site, and the development of greenfield sites located outside the City would likely result in greater impacts than the proposed project. Therefore, development of the project on an alternative location would be expected to result in at least the same level of impacts as the proposed project. As a result, an environmentally feasible off-site location that would meet the requirements of CEQA, as well as meet the basic objectives of the proposed project, does not exist.

Village Green Alternative
The Village Green Alternative was proposed during community consultation.

The stated purpose of the Alternative. is to create a more human scale environment with activities:centered ona ^illage_g`reen as-a means-of reducing the emphasis_on the automobile and the visual impacts of parking lots. Overall, the Village Green Alternative would result in the construction of 126,000 square feet of commercial space and 602 residential units:. By comparison, the proposed project includes approximately 260,000 square feet of commercial uses and 470 residential.units.

As shown in Table 5.2-10 in the Transportation and Circulation chapter of this Draft EIR, the mix of commercial uses included in the proposed project would result in traffic throughout the day, whereas residential traffic typically is concentrated at the peak morning and evening commute hours. Therefore, the substantial number of additional residential units included in the Village Green Alternative would result in greater impacts to traffic. .In addition, due to the increased population associated with the additional residential units, this Alternative would increase the demand for police and fire protection services, as well as park and school facilities, beyond what is anticipated for the proposed project.

With respect to the other alternatives included in this DEIR, the Village Green Alternative uses are substantially similar to Reduced Commercial Alternative A, though Reduced Commercial Alternative A would have slightly more commercial space and fewer residential Resolution 2010-572 . September 28, 2010 30
units. In addition, Reduced Commercial Alternative B would contain less commercial space than the Village Green Alternative, and has fewer residential units. The Multi-Family Alternative assesses a similar number of residential units, 545 versus 602 for the Village Green Alternative, while including a larger commercial area. In addition, the Village Green Alternative would require additional park space based on an increase in the number of units:

The alternatives included in the analysis below include a range of commercial square footages with the lowest total being lower than the Village Green Alternative. None of the alternatives would include as many residential units as the Village Green Alternative:

Therefore, the Village Green Alternative would not reduce impacts to a greater extent than the alternatives included in the analysis, and may increase impacts as a result of the high number of residential units included in the Alternative:= Furthermore, the-Village Green - -Alternative=is°not anticipated to reduce;any°environmental--impac-ts that=would result-from -- implementation of the proposed project. Therefore, because the Village Green Alternative.. would increase some environmental impacts and would not reduce any impacts, the Alternative is dismissed from further consideration.

Existing Zoning Alternative
Under the Existing Zoning Alternative, the project site would be built out pursuant to the existing zoning designation for the site. The site is currently zoned Heavy Industrial (M-2), which allows for the "manufacture or treatment of goods from raw materials." The Existing Zoning Alternative is not a feasible alternative for the project because the existing M-2 zoning for the project site is not consistent with the General Plan land use designations (Traditional .Neighborhood., Low Density, Traditional Neighborhood High Density, and Traditional Center) for the site and buildout of the project site with industrial uses would not meet any of the proposed project's objectives.

Summary of Alternatives Considered
No-Project/No Buifd Alternative
• ^Sectio.n 1_51:26..6 :(e.).(.1s)_of thesStateCEQA Guidelines requires-that a «noproject-alternative„ _ ^.
be evaluated in comparison to the proposed project. The No Project/No Build Alterative is defined in this section as the continuation of the existing condition of the project site. The No Project/No Build Alternative would allow the project site to continue in the existing undeveloped vacant state and would meet only one of the project objectives.

The, remediation of the site to DTSC standards will be completed with or without the development of the Curtis Park Village project. It should be noted that although remediation of the site would continue until complete, DTSC cannot not issue a No Further Action letter certifying the site as clean until the City has approved a land use plan, pursuant to SB 120.

Facts in Support of Finding of Infeasibility"
DTSC can not issue a No Further Action letter certifying the site as clean until the City has approved a land use plan. In addition the No Project/No Build Alternative would not meet any of the project objectives.

Reduced Commercial Alternative A
Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 31
The Reduced Commercial Alternative A would include a reduction in the commercial land'use area from approximately 260,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet. The other 160,000 square feet would instead be developed as an additional 74 single-family residential lots for a total of 252 single-family residential units on the project site, as opposed to 178 single-family units under the proposed project. In addition, the Alternative would include 310 multi-family residential units, which would.be 18 more than included. in the proposed project.

Facts in Support of Finding of Infeasibility
--The°Reduced Commercial Alternative Awould=develop -additional residential-units- that -would generate additional demand-for-public-services and utilities, as well as impact-the jobs/housing'balance. In addition, the Reduced Commercial Alternative A would not meet Objective 4, as the project would have limited neighborhood serving commercial and retail uses, and entertainment opportunities.

Reduced Commercial Alternative B
The Reduced Commercial Alternative B would include a reduction of square footage in the commercial land use area from the proposed plan of 260,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet. In addition, the Reduced Commercial Alternative B would result in the development of 112 more single-family residential units and 18 more multi-family residential units than the proposed project. The reduction in square footage in the commercial land-use area from the Facts in Support of Finding of Infeasibility
The Multi-Family Alternative would develop additional residential units that would generate additional demand for public services and utilities, as well as impact the jobs/housing balance. The Multi-Family Alternative would not meet Objective 4, as the project would include limited neigfiborhood^serving commercial and ^tail uses; and entertainment_- opportunities.

F. Statement of Overridin
g
Considerations:

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15092, the City Council finds that in approving the Project it has eliminated or substantially lessened all significant and potentially significant effects of the Project on the environment where feasible, as shown in Sections 5.0 through

5.6. The City Council further finds that it has balanced the economic, legal, 'social, technological, and other benefits of the Project against the remaining unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the Project and has determined that those benefits outweigh the unavoidable environmental risks and that those risks are acceptable. The City Council makes this statement of overriding considerations in accordance with section 15093 of the Guidelines in support of approval-of the Project.

The project would provide a range of residential uses and retail services that would serve the Curtis Park Village neighborhood. The project would construct approximately 259,000 square feet of retail uses, including a two-story building with 38,000 square feet per floor for athletic club and recreation/entertainment uses. The project would generate sales tax revenue for the City, which can be used to support City services and programs.

Resolution 2010-572 September 28, 2010 32
The project site is a former industrial railroad site and a superfund site: The project site is currently undergoing remediation by DTSC as an action separate from the Curtis Park Village project.

The project provides,a range of residential uses, including single-family, multi-family, and senior housing, near the Sacramento light rail stations.

The City Council has considered these benefits and considerations and has considered the potentially significant unavoidable environmental effects of the project. The City Council has determined that the economic; -legal, social; technological and other--benefits=of the Project- - outweigh-the identified impacts. The City Council has determined that the-project benefits setforth above override the significant and unavoidable environmental costs associated with the project.

The City Council adopts the mitigation measures in the final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, incorporated, by reference into these Findings, and finds that any residual or remaining effects on the environment resulting from the project, identified as significant and unavoidable in the Findings of Fact, are acceptable due to the benefits set forth in this Statement of Overriding Considerations. The City Council makes this statement of overriding considerations in accordance with Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines in supporting approval of the project.

Section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires all State and local agencies to establish monitoring or reporting programs for projects approved by a public agency whenever approval involves the adoption of either a “mitigated negative declaration” or specified environmental findings related to environmental impact reports.

The following is the Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) for the Curtis Park Village project. The project as approved includes mitigation measures. The intent of the MMP is to prescribe and enforce a means for properly and successfully implementing the mitigation measures as identified within the Environmental Impact Report for this project. Unless otherwise noted, the cost of implementing the mitigation measures as prescribed by this MMP shall be funded by the applicant.

4.1 COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Environmental Impact Report for the Curtis Park Village project prepared by the City of Sacramento. This MMP is intended to be used by City staff and mitigation monitoring personnel to ensure compliance with mitigation measures during project implementation. Mitigation measures identified in this MMP were developed in the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the proposed project.

The Curtis Park Village project Environmental Impact Report presents a detailed set of mitigation measures that will be implemented throughout the lifetime of the project. Mitigation is defined by CEQA as a measure which:
• Avoids the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; • Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation;
• Rectifies the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment;
• Reduces or eliminates the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project; or
• Compensates for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of 4 MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN

construction activities as necessary and in-the-field identification and resolution of environmental concerns.

Monitoring and documenting the implementation of mitigation measures will be coordinated by the City of Sacramento. The table attached to this report identifies the mitigation measure, the monitoring action for the mitigation measure, the responsible party for the monitoring action, and timing of the monitoring action. The applicant will be responsible for fully understanding and effectively implementing the mitigation measures contained within the MMP. The City of Sacramento will be responsible for ensuring compliance.

During construction of the project, the City will assign an inspector who will be responsible for field monitoring of mitigation measure compliance. The inspector will report to the City Community Development Department and will be thoroughly familiar with permit conditions and the MMP. In addition, the inspector will be familiar with construction contract requirements, construction schedules, standard construction practices, and mitigation techniques. In order to track the status of mitigation measure implementation, field-monitoring activities will be documented on compliance monitoring report worksheets. The time commitment of the inspector will vary depending on the intensity and location of construction. Aided by the attached table, the inspector will be responsible for the following activities:
• On-site, day-to-day monitoring of construction activities; • Reviewing construction plans and equipment staging/access plans to ensure conformance with adopted mitigation measures;
• Ensuring contractor knowledge of and compliance with the MMP; • Verifying the accuracy and adequacy of contract wording; • Having the authority to require correction of activities that violate mitigation measures, securing compliance with the MMP;
• Acting in the role of contact for property owners or any other affected persons who wish to register observations of violations of project permit conditions or mitigation.

Upon receiving any complaints, the inspector shall immediately contact the construction representative. The inspector shall be responsible for verifying any such observations and for developing any necessary corrective actions in consultation with the construction representative and the City of Sacramento; • Obtaining assistance as necessary from technical experts in order to develop sitespecific procedures for implementing the mitigation measures; and • Maintaining a log of all significant interactions, violations of permit conditions or mitigation measures, and necessary corrective measures.

B40. As per City Code, the applicant will be responsible to meet his/her obligations regarding:
a. Title 17, 17.512 Park Dedication / In Lieu (Quimby) Fees, due prior to recordation of the final map. The Quimby fee due for this project is estimated at $79,515. This is based on the creation 31 housing units on ±2.34 vacant acres within SC-PUD zone, at a level of service ratio of 3.5 acres/1000 residents, with an average land value of $225,000 per acre for the Land Park Community Plan Area, plus an additional 20% for off-site park infrastructure improvements. The approval of P15-027, allowing for the creation of 199 single family and 131 multi-family residential units, required the dedication at a level of service of 5 acres/1000 residents resulting in 4.08 acres. The new residential map in the SC-PUD zone is not factored in with the previous dedication and is in addition to the previously approved units; therefore, new residential maps created after the dedication of the park lot, is calculated at the 3.5 acres/1000 residents level of service ratio. Any change in these factors will change the amount of the Quimby fee due. The final fee is calculated using factors at the time of finalizing conditions on the final map.

The Department of Public Works is the lead for resolving the conditions on the map, including the invoicing and payment of the in-lieu fee. b. Title 18, 18.56 Park Development Impact Fee, due at the time of issuance of building permit. The Park Development Impact Fee is estimated at $215,357.

The Park Development Impact Fee due for this project is based on the Remainder Zone Rate of $6,947 for units over 2,000 square feet. Any change in these factors will change the amount of the PIF due. The fee is calculated using factors at the time that the project is submitted for building permit. c. Community Facilities District 2002-02, Neighborhood Park Maintenance CFD Annexation.

D67. As per City Code, the applicant will be responsible to meet his/her obligations regarding:
a. Title 17, 17.512 Park Dedication / In Lieu (Quimby) Fees, due prior to recordation of the final map. The Quimby fee due for this project is estimated at $79,515. This is based on the creation 31 housing units on ±2.34 vacant acres within SC-PUD zone, at a level of service ratio of 3.5 acres/1000 residents, with an average land value of $225,000 per acre for the Land Park Community Plan Area, plus an additional 20% for off-site park infrastructure improvements. The approval of P15-027, allowing for the creation of 199 single family and 131 multi-family residential units, required the dedication at a level of service of 5 acres/1000 residents resulting in 4.08 acres. The new residential map in the SC-PUD zone is not factored in with the previous dedication and is in addition to the previously approved units; therefore, new residential maps created after the dedication of the park lot, is calculated at the 3.5 acres/1000 residents level of service ratio. Any change in these factors will change the amount of the Quimby fee due. The final fee is calculated using factors at the time of finalizing conditions on the final map.

The Department of Public Works is the lead for resolving the conditions on the map, including the invoicing and payment of the in-lieu fee. b. Title 18, 18.56 Park Development Impact Fee, due at the time of issuance of building permit. The Park Development Impact Fee is estimated at $215,357.

The Park Development Impact Fee due for this project is based on the Remainder Zone Rate of $6,947 for units over 2,000 square feet. Any change in these factors will change the amount of the PIF due. The fee is calculated using factors at the time that the project is submitted for building permit. c. Community Facilities District 2002-02, Neighborhood Park Maintenance CFD Annexation.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
September 9, 2025
Denying project entitlements related to the Multi Parcel site (2341 Omaha Beach Avenue) based on Findings of Fact for the Crocker Village Residential Development Project (P24-028) (APN: 013-0490-110-0000)
Background
A. On June 24, 2025, the City Planning and Design Commission conducted a public hearing on and denied project entitlements related to the Multi Parcel site for the Crocker Village Residential Project.

B. On September 9, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing, for which notice was given under Sacramento City Code Section 17.812.010(2)(b).

Based on the facts set forth in the Background, the City Council resolves as follows:

Section 1. Based on the verbal and documentary evidence received at the hearing on the Crocker Village Residential Project (Project), the City Council denies project entitlements related to the Multi Parcel site based on the findings of fact as set forth below.

Section 2. The City Council denies the Project entitlements related to the Multi Parcel site based on the following findings of fact:

A. Resolution Amending the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Schematic Plan and Guidelines to permit single-unit dwelling development within the Multi-Family Housing designation (P24-028) is denied based on the following finding of fact:

1. The proposed amendment is inconsistent with several land use policies within the City of Sacramento 2040 General Plan, including LUP-2.4, LUP-4.1, LUP5.3, LUP-6.2, and LUP-6.6. Amending the Planned Unit Development to eliminate the planned provision of market-rate multi-family housing near transit diminishes the prospect of diverse housing opportunities and a mix of residential types within the neighborhood that would provide options for residents of all income levels and protect existing residents from displacement. Furthermore, a decreased, lower development intensity near transit would neither optimize public investments nor support an accessible, convenient transit network.

The proposed amendment is also inconsistent with supporting identified community issues/opportunities within the Greater Land Park Community Plan that seek to address housing type imbalance, housing cost, and promoting higher housing density near transit.

2. The proposed amendment to allow single unit dwellings instead of multi-unit dwellings on the Multi Parcel site does not promote the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare of the neighborhood, in that it does not capitalize on proximity to light rail with greater development intensity at a site that is specifically designated by the Planned Unit Development for higher intensity multi-family housing. An allowed decrease in development intensity at this location near transit does not support the City’s goals to reduce GHG emissions by encouraging walking, bicycling, and transit use.

B. Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the 2.37-acre Multi Parcel into 30 residential parcels and five common parcels is denied based on the following finding of fact:

1. The proposed map is inconsistent with the General Plan, the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development, and the Greater Land Park Community Plan. The Curtis Park Village PUD designates the site for Multi Family Housing development. The proposed subdivision map to accommodate single-unit development is therefore inconsistent with the PUD Schematic Plan designation.

General Plan land use policies (ie. LUP-2.4, LUP-4.1, LUP-5.3, LUP-6.2, and LUP-6.6) and specified community issues and opportunities within the Greater Land Park Community Plan (ie. Housing and Infill Development) support the existing PUD Multi Family housing designation and Guidelines in that they encourage a mix of housing types and greater housing intensity near transit.

2. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is inconsistent with the General Plan, the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development, and the Greater Land Park Community Plan. The Curtis Park Village PUD designates the site for Multi Family Housing development. The proposed design and improvement of the subdivision map to accommodate single-unit development is therefore inconsistent with the PUD Schematic Plan designation. General Plan land use policies (ie. LUP-2.4, LUP-4.1, LUP-5.3, LUP-6.2, and LUP-6.6) and specified community issues and opportunities within the Greater Land Park Community Plan (ie. Housing and Infill Development) support the existing PUD Multi Family housing designation and Guidelines in that they encourage a mix of housing types and greater housing intensity near transit.

C. Site Plan and Design Review of the proposed “Multi Parcel” Tentative Subdivision Map and to construct 30 single-unit dwellings on a ±2.37-acre parcel within the “Multi Parcel” site located in the Multi-Unit Dwelling (R-4A-PUD) Zone and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development is denied based on the following findings of fact:

1. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are inconsistent with the 2040 General Plan, the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development Schematic Plan and Guidelines, and the Greater Land Park Community Plan, in that single-unit development is inconsistent with the Curtis Park Village PUD Schematic Plan and 2040 General Plan goals and policies that support higher density housing near transit and a mix of housing types within neighborhoods. The proposal eliminates the long-planned provision of marketrate multi-family housing which was intended to support housing choice within the neighborhood and support the nearby transit infrastructure investments.

Attachment 3: Applicant Narrative and Proposed Resolution Amending the Curtis Park Village PUD Schematic Plan and Guidelines One of the core objectives of the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD) Guidelines is to ensure a variety of housing types. These range from:
- Front-loaded single-family homes with densities of approximately five (5) units per acre (primarily north of the park and detention basin), - Detached alley-loaded single-family homes at roughly seven (7) units per acre (located both north and south of the park),
- High-density alley-loaded single-family “court” homes of approximately fifteen (15) dwelling units per acre, and
- High-density multi-family housing.

Per a prior PUD Amendment promulgated in 2013 at the City’s request, a four-story 90-unit affordable high density multi-family housing facility planned for the Multi-Family Housing parcel was relocated to the Flex Zone (with underlying SC zoning) to reduce impacts on adjacent single-family homes. The original PUD Guidelines never required or anticipated two (2) large, multi-story, high-density structures on both the Flex Zone and the MultiFamily parcel simultaneously. This Amendment is intended to restore the PUD’s original vision while providing more dwelling units in the vicinity of the pedestrian bridge to the Sacramento City Light Rail Station than was ever originally envisioned for these PUD Guidelines.

By updating this 15-year-old PUD to reflect current conditions and rectify omissions from the 2013 Amendment, this amendment both reaffirms the PUD’s intent and yields a greater number of dwelling units near the pedestrian bridge, consistent with the City’s General Plan goals. This approach is superior to the prior concept, which requires a massive, multistory apartment building towering over existing single-family homes on three sides, creating a disproportionately large structure in a suburban context.

Specifically, the total number of units per the requested PUD Amendment will exceed the one hundred thirty-one (131) units called for in the original PUD Guidelines, as follows:
ninety (90) units in the Existing Flex Zone Parcel 1 (via the affordable senior multifamily housing facility), plus thirty-one (31) units approved by the City for the Existing Flex Zone Parcel 2, plus an additional thirty (30) units proposed per this PUD Amendment in the MultiFamily Housing parcel, for a for a total of one hundred fifty-one (151) units.

When combined with the existing seventy-seven (77) alley-loaded Court Homes, the result is two hundred sixty-eight (268) total dwelling units, equating to approximately thirty (30) dwelling units per acre on the approximate nine (9) acres nearest the pedestrian bridge to the Sacramento City College Light Rail Station.

This configuration far surpasses the prior requirement of a stand-alone multi-family parcel containing one hundred thirty (130) units and remains in keeping with the goals of the City’s General Plan. The higher-density Court Homes (i) better integrate with the existing suburban fabric than a single, potentially 100-foot tall, multi-story structure would, thereby preserving neighborhood character while still achieving robust density near transit and (ii) re-establishes the original intent of the PUD while exceeding its original number of dwelling units.

Proposed Amendment: Section 2.1(3) shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

Section 2.1(3) Flex Zone Housing Area: The area along the western property line of Curtis Park Village south and west of the Court single-family home area and on the north edge of the commercial area Flex Zone that contains the affordable senior housing project shall be designed as follows:

Court Homes: Traditional Neighborhood High, R-4A PUD Zone A. Court home sites occur on smaller lots of approximately 37’ x 75’ (or otherwise achieve a density of approximately 15 du/ac) served by motor courts along the west side of Crocker Drive. The Court Homes should be integrated into the existing Curtis Park neighborhood fabric by means of architectural character, continuity, mass, scale, details and rhythm.

B. Design guidelines applicable to the Court housing sites are found in Appendix A: Curtis Park Village Single Family Design Home Guidelines. Project review for the Court Homes, an alternative ownership housing type, shall be in accordance with Sacramento City Code Sections

Subject: Project File No. P24-028; Crocker Village Residential Development request Date: Friday, November 1, 2024 3:01:22 PM
Danny Abbes,
The Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) opposes the request by Crocker Village Residential Development to construct 61 housing units on ±4.86 vacant acres within the R-4A-PUD and SC-PUD zones and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD), located at 2325 10th Avenue.

This acreage has a Multi-Family Housing designation, which is appropriate considering its proximity to Sacramento Regional Transit’s light rail station at City College. SACOG supported funding for the bike/pedestrian bridge from this development to the light rail station based on the understanding that this would be a transit-oriented development.

ECOS is opposed to a PUD Schematic Plan Amendment to develop single-unit dwellings instead.

We have two crises that must be addressed: our severe shortage of affordable housing, and climate change. In Sacramento, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is from cars. Multi-Family Housing near a light-rail station addresses both these crises, and therefore this designation must be preserved.

Sacramento, CA 95811
RE: Crocker Village Schematic Plan Amendment and Conditional Use Permit
Dear Mr. Abbes,
The Sacramento Housing Alliance is writing to oppose the requested schematic plan amendment to allow single family homes on a site zoned for multi-family high density development in Crocker Village and a conditional use permit to allow single family homes on a site SC zoned site in Crocker Village.

For over 35 years the Sacramento Housing Alliance has advocated for the development of safe, accessible, and affordable homes for low-income individuals and families, and those who are experiencing homelessness.

We also advocate for land use policies that advance meeting the community’s affordable housing needs as identified in their housing elements.

The proposal violates the obligation to act consistently with the City’s duty to affirmatively further fair housing, it undermines the City’s Housing Element program to increase the number of multi-family sites in high resource areas and is inconsistent with the commitment the City made to obtain its Prohousing Designation.
1 Crocker Village is in a high resource area, indicated by its proximity to multiple high performing schools, some of the City’s best amenities, and thriving commercial districts.

The development of one of the few Crocker Village sites identified for multi-family housing is more crucial now than ever before because of the City’s growing need for affordable housing. This is increasingly possible, as the City has more developers with expertise and experience in developing affordable homes than at any previous time. This area is primed to compete for affordable housing funding sources because of its proximity to transit, commercial amenities, and high performing schools.

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) means removing barriers to desegregation, addressing barriers that limit access to opportunity and housing choice, and limit investment in lower resource areas. The California Government Code section 8899.50(b) requires all public agencies, including local cities, to act consistently with their duty to affirmatively further fair housing in all of their housing and community development activities, including approving discretionary land use actions such as reviewing conditional use permit requests to allow single family homes where multi- unit dwellings are currently the only residential use permitted by right (City Code 17.216.510).

The law not only requires the City of Sacramento to affirmatively take steps to decrease segregation, but also to act consistently with its duty when engaged in all housing and land use activities. Taking action to decrease housing opportunities for lower income households in a high resource area is inconsistent with the City’s duty to affirmatively further fair housing.
2 Housing Element Program H12: Rezone Additional Affordable Housing Sites in High Resource Areas
In order to meet the requirements of Housing Element law, the City included Program H12 in its most recent Housing Element revision. The Program requires the City to identify additional sites where high density housing can be developed in high resource areas. This commitment is a result of the City’s recognition that additional multi-family sites are needed in high resource areas to fulfill specific AFFH requirements included in Housing Element law, in addition to the broad requirements contained in Government Code section 8899.50. If the City reduces the density required on an existing multi-family site in a high resource area, it adds to the number of sites the City will have to find and rezone in other high resource areas in order to remain compliant with its Housing Element obligations. Reducing higher density multifamily sites in the Crocker Village area also significantly reduces opportunities for lower income families and BIPOC individuals and families to live in a thriving high opportunity area.

As the planning department can attest, finding additional vacant parcels to zone for high density residential uses is an enormous undertaking, and one that is not just fueled by effort, the City cannot just create vacant parcels in high resource areas. There is a limited supply of vacant land within the City. Reducing the density on the site identified in the planning application will potentially prevent the City from complying with its housing element to rezone more sites in higher resource areas.1 1 The existing affordable development in Crocker Village is a terrific example of the City’s previous inclusionary zoning ordinance and a result of prior Housing Element programs, that focused on construction of affordable housing rather than collecting fees. 3 Prohousing Designation
The Sacramento Housing Alliance shares the pride the City feels regarding being the first city in California to achieve the Prohousing Designation. However, this designation is not deserved if a city decreases the number of sites to accommodate high density housing instead of increasing that crucial supply. The City only permits multi-unit dwellings in the SC zone as one crucial method to increase the potential for multifamily housing in the City. Allowing single family development on this site is inconsistent with the City’s Prohousing Designation.

We appreciate the City considering our comments as they prepare to review this planning application and are happy to answer any questions about our concerns.

Subject: Crocker Village Residential Development (P24-028) Dear Danny Abbes:

Thank you for providing the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (Sac Metro Air District) with the opportunity to review the Crocker Village Residential Development project, a request to construct 61 housing units on ±4.86 vacant acres within the Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD) area. We offer the comments below to benefit air quality and public health, and to reduce greenhouse gases.

Curtis Park Village CEQA Mitigation
Because this project is within the Curtis Park Village PUD area, it is subject to the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (MMP) that resulted from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review for the Curtis Park Village PUD. The AQMP includes measures to mitigate emissions of pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act (“criteria pollutants”) resulting from project operations (“operational emissions”). The MMP includes measures from the AQMP and measures to mitigate criteria pollutant emissions resulting from project construction, among other measures. Following are comments on the project’s consistency with the AQMP Measure 18 on residential density.

Residential Density
AQMP Measure 18 calls for a residential density of at least 11 dwelling units per net acre for the entire Curtis Park Village project, and provides 3.5 mitigation credit points for this. The originally approved PUD provided for 470 dwelling units, as discussed in AQMP Measure 18 text. Given the portion of land that is allocated to park space and a detention basin for the overall Curtis Park Village PUD area (park space is called for in AQMP Measure 23), the project site may be the last area available for residential development. Based on the currently proposed project’s density, the overall Curtis Park Village development will not reach the 470 dwelling unit provision or a residential density of 11 dwelling units per acre.

If Curtis Park Village overall provides less than the 11 dwelling units per acre, mitigation credit awarded to the Curtis Park Village project overall could be reduced by approximately 1.28 points, pursuant to Sac Metro Air District Recommended Guidance for Land Use Emission Reductions v2.4 (Guidance v2.4). 15% Air Quality Mitigation
To be consistent with the City General Plan at the time of Curtis Park Village’s approval, in addition to the current City General Plan (see Policy ERC-4.7 in the current 2040 General Plan and Policy ER 6.1.3 in
