Implementation
The County will continue to engage with SACOG in regional planning efforts to increase infill and reduce VMT. Efforts will be focused on the County’s identified Green Zones. The County will consider policy changes within these areas that promote efficient infill, such as changes to parking standards. The County will also apply for funding to help facilitate infill development.
Timeframe: Near term
GHG Reduction Potential: Not quantified
Sector: Vehicles - On-Road
Target Indicator: Participate in SACOG’s regional efforts with the underlying goal of increasing housing opportunities within the established Green Zones or other identified infill areas in the unincorporated County.
Status of Implementation
The Planning and Environmental Review Division has received $2.1 million in Green Means Go grant funds for offsite infrastructure to support the San Juan Apartments project and $650,000 in Green Means Go grant funds to update the North Watt Avenue SPA.
The San Juan Apartments are beginning construction on Phase 1 in summer 2024.
The County has also partnered with numerous regional leaders as part of a coordinated Climate Pollution Reduction Grant application and process managed by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. As part of this process PER staff coordinated with Sacramento Suburban Water District and identified a water main replacement project along North Watt Avenue to receive $5 million through this grant.
