SACRAMENTO2030 GENERAL PLAN

IntroductionIf the City’s General Plan is to serve its purpose effectively, it must be reviewed, maintained, and implemented in a systematic and consistent manner. This section begins with a summary of the most important programs for implementing the 2030 General Plan, particularly those that need to be undertaken in the first three years (2009–2011) after adoption. This is followed by an outline of the process for reviewing and updating the 2030 General Plan and a program for monitoring its implementation. The section also outlines requirements for implementing the City’s General Plan consistent with its goals, policies, standards, and programs and provides an overview of the types of actions or tools the City will use to implement the Plan’s policies. Part 4 concludes with tables that list specific implementation programs.

Priority Implementation ProgramsThe City has identified the following programs as highest priority for implementing the General Plan, particularly in the near term. These have been selected because they are likely to be most effective in transforming city operations and Sacramento’s urban character consistent with the General Plan’s Vision and Guiding Principles. As the City implements programs on this priority list, the list will be adjusted to address new challenges facing the city.

Updating the Zoning Ordinance and other development review guidelines.

Develop and adopt a Climate Action Plan.

Rezoning key Opportunity Areas consistent with the Land Use and Urban Form Diagram.

Comprehensively updating the Infill Strategy.

Promoting and requiring energy efficiency (i.e., reducing carbon footprint).

Updating the community plans.

Expanding the Shovel Ready Program.

Linking city budgeting and the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) to the General Plan.

Providing adequate infrastructure to promote infill.

Reporting on implementation of the General Plan and Master Plan/Strategies.

Developing and reporting the Livability Index.

GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING

Adopted March 3, 2009 Page 4-3

General Plan Maintenance and MonitoringAnnual General Plan Implementation ReviewThe City is committed to annually reviewing its progress in implementing the goals and policies of the General Plan. Since many of the factors and issues that the General Plan addresses change from year to year, an annual review and reporting of implementation will help ensure the City is moving forward to achieve the Plan’s vision. This review will report on the status of each specific implementation program in the General Plan and take into account the availability of new implementation tools, changes in funding sources, and feedback from Plan monitoring activities.

Five-Year General Plan Review and UpdateAt least once every five years, the City will thoroughly review the General Plan and revise and update it as necessary. This review and update process will encompass the entire General Plan including the goals, policies, and implementation programs.

Livability IndexTypically, general plans lack tools to measure implementation effectiveness. This General Plan calls for an indicators program, called the Livability Index, to monitor the city’s success in becoming the most livable city in America. Regular monitoring of the Livability Index will track key livability factors relating to the economy, health of residents, and quality of life. The indicators in the Livability Index were selected because they will do the following:

Reflect the vision of the General Plan to make Sacramento the most livable city in America

Are understandable, reasonable, and easily communicated

Can be tracked and measured at annual reviews and five-year updates

In conjunction with annual General Plan implementation monitoring, the Livability Index will be reviewed and updated annually and used by the City to help set priorities in the city’s budget cycle.

General Plan AmendmentsAs conditions and needs change, the City will need to consider proposed amendments to the General Plan. Some of these will be policy changes, while many will likely be changes to the Land Use and Urban Form Diagram. Each of the changes will need to be carefully evaluated not only for merit and potential impact, but also for consistency with the rest of the General Plan. State law requires that the general plan be an integrated and internally consistent set of goals, policies, standards, programs, and diagrams.

General Plan Consistency in ImplementationTo ensure that the policies and proposals of the general plan are systematically implemented, State law since the early 1970s has increasingly insisted that the actions and decisions of each local government concerning both its own projects and the private projects it approves are consistent with its adopted general plan. The courts have supported and furthered this trend through their interpretations of State law.

The following is a partial list of City actions that must be consistent with the General Plan:

Master plans

Redevelopment plans

Specific plans

Capital projects (including indirectly facility master plans)

Development agreements

Subdivision approvals

Development Code and Zoning

Development projects

CATEGORIES OF IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS/TOOLS

Adopted March 3, 2009 Page 4-�

Categories of Implementation Actions/ToolsThe City will implement the goals and policies of the General Plan through many actions and tools that can be grouped according to the eight categories listed below. The two- to four-letter identifiers (italicized and in parentheses) are used in Part 2 of the General Plan to indicate how each policy will be implemented. The identifiers are also used in the Specific Implementation Programs section of Part 4 to indicate the type of specific implementation program:

Regulation and Development Review (RDR)

City Master Plans, Strategies, and Programs (MPSP)

Financing and Budgeting (FB)

Planning Studies and Reports (PSR)

City Services and Operations (SO)

Inter-governmental Coordination (IGC)

Joint Partnerships with the Private Sector (JP)

Public Information (PI)

Regulation and Development Review (RDR)Many General Plan policies are implemented through regulations adopted by the City based on the city’s “police power” to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. City ordinances also create a development review process that provides for City review of individual project proposals and authorizes the City to approve, deny, or condition projects based on their consistency with the General Plan. The following is a list of regulatory plans and ordinances commonly used to implement the General Plan:

Master plans

Specific plans

Zoning Ordinance

Subdivision Ordinance

Building and other codes

Redevelopment

Habitat conservation plans

Development review

City Master Plans, Strategies, and Programs (MPSP)The City has adopted many master plans, strategies, and programs focusing City attention on various types of city services and facilities, types of development, or geographic areas. These are prepared to provide more specific direction for city decision-makers, staff, and the public on how the General Plan will be implemented. They are not elements or components of the General Plan. The following is a list of master plans, strategies, and programs that the City has adopted or plans to adopt. Specific implementation programs in Part 4 of the General Plan call for the annual or periodic review of many of these master plans, strategies, and programs in addition to adoption of some new master plans and strategies:

Capital Improvements Program

Infill Strategy

Central City Urban Design Guidelines and Plan (Volume 1)

Historic City Cemetery Master Plan

Citywide Financing Strategy

Fire Department Master Plan

Police Department Master Plan

Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan

Sustainability Master Plan

Comprehensive Flood Management Plan

Financing and Budgeting (FB)The development, maintenance, and operation of public facilities such as parks and drainage facilities and the provision of city services require financial resources that are derived from various sources. Programming of city capital projects and their funding over time is outlined in the city’s Capital Improvement Program, which is updated annually. The following is a list of revenue sources used by or available to the city to support development, maintenance, or operation of public facilities and services:

Property tax revenue

Sales tax revenue

User fees

Development fees

Quimby Act (Park) dedications

Business improvement districts

Redevelopment tax increment

Community facilities and special assessment districts

Municipal bonds

Special taxes

County, state, and federal funding

Planning Studies and Reports (PSR)The City conducts studies and produces reports to collect and evaluate information related to specific issues. These studies and reports are undertaken at the direction of the City Council as needed or are prepared annually to report on the status and implementation of the General Plan or a master plan.

City Services and Operations (SO)The City provides a broad range of services to its residents, businesses, and visitors and manages and operates its facilities to meet community needs. How the City provides services and carries out its operations makes a significant difference in how effectively the General Plan is implemented.

Inter-governmental Coordination (IGC)The City must coordinate with numerous local, regional, state, and federal agencies to implement the General Plan. These agencies provide services, facilities, or funding and administer regulations that directly or indirectly affect many issues addressed in the General Plan. The following is a partial list of public agencies that may play a role in implementing the General Plan:

Local agencies such as Sacramento County; City of West Sacramento; City of Rancho Cordova; City of Elk Grove; special districts; and school districts

Regional agencies such as Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo); Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD); Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG); Regional Transit (RT); and Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA)

State agencies such as Caltrans; General Services; Sacramento State and UC Davis; California Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC)

Federal agencies such as U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Military; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS); U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

The City recognizes there are unique public and private partnerships. In those instances where there are public and private partnerships, it will involve both inter-governmental coordination and joint partnerships with the private sector, as described in more detail below.

Joint Partnerships with the Private Sector (JP)The City can combine its efforts with private sector efforts to improve public service delivery, manage public sector assets, or leverage private sector investment. By expanding the role of the private sector, the City can use its technical, management, and financial resources in creative ways to achieve objectives of the General Plan.

SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS


Public Information (PI)The City can use a wide range of tools to keep the city’s residents informed of city services or other issues of current interest. Public information can be distributed through media such as brochures, pamphlets, the city’s website, workshops, seminars, public access television, radio, newspapers, public hearings, neighborhood and community meetings, and customer service hotlines.

Specific Implementation ProgramsSpecific implementation programs are listed in the following tables. Similar to the policies, each implementation program is followed by a set of letters that identifies a type of action or tool that the City will use to carry out the implementation program. Following each implementation program is a description of which policy(ies) the program implements, which city department(s) is responsible for implementation, and which department(s) will support the responsible department(s). Finally, to the right of each program is a timeline that identifies when the implementation will be completed.

The implementation program tables are organized as follows:

Table 4-1: Administration Implementation Programs

Table 4-2: Land Use and Urban Design Implementation Programs

Table 4-3: Historic and Cultural Resources Implementation Programs

Table 4-4: Economic Development Implementation Programs

Table 4-5: Housing Implementation Programs (Located in a Separately Bound Document)

Table 4-6: Mobility Implementation Programs

Table 4-7: Utilities Implementation Programs
