East Sacramento Community Plan Area

The East Sacramento Community Plan area is located east of the Central City and is governed by the City of Sacramento 1988 General Plan as amended through 2004. The land use distribution for East Sacramento is composed of about 56 percent residential uses (2,537 acres) and about 8 percent vacant (20 acres). In addition, a large amount (590 acres) of Heavy Commercial or Warehouse, and Industrial uses are planned in this area; however, most of this land is developed, as only 15 acres (5 percent) remain vacant. The designation, with the largest amount of vacant land (in addition to Parks-Recreation-Open Space), is the Regional Commercial & Office designation with 23 acres (72 percent) of its 31 acres vacant.

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. East Sacramento does not have an existing community plan, so the new East Sacramento Draft Community Plan is mainly a placeholder and outline, and contains no policies at this time.
