The North Natomas Community Plan area, as amended through 2004, contains a large amount of vacant land (2,813 acres or 37 percent). The designation with the most remaining vacant land is Employment Center: 50/acre with 452 acres which when combined with the other Employment Center designations amounts to about 890 acres of available land. Approximately 3,512 acres (39 percent) are designated for residential use, which is the primary use in the plan area. There is also approximately 1,414 acres (16 percent) of Parks and Open Space designated in the plan area.
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.
