The River District Specific Plan (RDSP)
Contact UsStacia Cosgrove, Project Manager

The City of Sacramento Development Services Department is currently creating a new Specific Plan for the River District. This plan follows a successful community visioning process, held in February and March 2008. As a result of this visioning process, a set of guiding principles and a vision map were prepared to capture the essence of the community input.
The purpose of the Specific Plan is to establish policy direction and guidance on how the River District will develop in the future. Currently, the River District is a mix of underutilized and underdeveloped parcels, large parcels, and parcels with incompatible adjacent land uses. The Specific Plan contemplates a cohesive district with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, public, and open space uses. The Specific Plan will provide the general vision and broad policy concepts to guide development of a new neighborhood. The Plan will also establish details on the type, location, and intensity of uses, heights, and massing, as well as define the capacity and needed public improvements and infrastructure. Finally, the Plan will identify the resources necessary to finance and implement the public improvements and infrastructure needed to support the vision for the new Specific Plan area.
