Arden-Arcade Community Plan

The Arden-Arcade Community Plan area's land use is governed by the 1988 City of Sacramento General Plan and the 1993 Sacramento County General Plan as amended through 2004. The majority of this area is governed by the 1993 Sacramento County General Plan where most of the land (12,117 acres) is designated for low density residential uses. In addition, a large proportion of land (2,326 acres) has been designated as Open Space in both the City and County General Plans.

Review Efforts

In March 2007, the Sacramento City Council authorized staff to expand work on the 2030 General Plan to include a review of the city's community plans. This review transformed the community plans from stand-alone documents (separate from the 1988 General Plan) into chapters of the 2030 General Plan.

The process involved removing redundant or conflicting community plan policies and creating a consistent outline for all community plans to follow in the future.

The community plan chapters serve primarily as placeholders for future work, if and when such efforts are approved and funded by the Sacramento City Council. Arden-Arcade does not have an existing community plan, so the new Arden-Arcade Draft Community Plan is mainly a placeholder and outline, and contains no policies at this time.
