GHG-21
The County will update community plans and corridor plans in urban areas to support infill development, transit-oriented development, and mixed-use development projects.
Status of Implementation
The Planning and Environmental Review Division and County Department of Transportation have received Green Means Go and Caltrans Sustainable Communities Planning grant funding to implement this measure on the North Watt Avenue Corridor Plan/SPA. The North Watt Avenue Corridor Plan area covers two of the infill growth areas identified by SACOG in the 2040 MTP/SCS Preferred Land Use Scenario: North Watt and West of Watt area (2,100 additional jobs and 3,600 additional dwelling units) and the Blue Line Station Area – Roseville Road/Watt area (690 additional jobs and 670 additional dwelling units). This is the largest potential infill growth area in unincorporated Sacramento County.
PER participated in successfully lobbying the State Legislature to keep the majority of Green Means Go funding intact in the State's FY 24/25 budget. PER has selected AECOM to assist with updating the North Watt Avenue Corridor Plan.
PER is also updating the Stockton Boulevard Special Planning Area ordinance to ensure a consistent approach to land use and zoning regulations in this commercial corridor shared with the City of Sacramento.
Updated 7/2/24.
