City of Sacramento 2040 General Plan Update and Climate Action Plan

The 2040 General Plan and Climate Action & Adaptation Plan together form the Sacramento 2040 Project and were the subject of the Master EIR. This Final Master Environmental Impact Report (Final Master EIR) contains the public and agency comments received during the public review comment period for the Sacramento 2040 Project Draft Master EIR. All written comments received during the public review period (August 24 through October 10, 2023) are addressed in this Final Master EIR. During the public review period, the City received a total of 15 comment letters from public agencies, organizations, and individuals. The responses in this Final Master EIR clarify, correct, and/or amplify text in the Draft Master EIR, as appropriate. Also included are text changes made at the initiative of the Lead Agency. These changes (summarized in Chapter 3) do not alter the conclusions of the Draft Master EIR. The proposed 2040 General Plan and Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (together, the “Sacramento 2040 Project”) is based on an updated vision statement and guiding principles. The vision and guiding principles for the proposed Sacramento 2040 General Plan are organized into six general categories or themes: (1) Sustainable and Responsible Growth; (2) Resiliency and Climate Action; (3) Safe, Equitable, Inclusive and Just City; (4) Regional Economic Hub; (5) Livability and Sense of Place; and (6) Interconnected, Accessible City. These guiding principles establish the basis for a framework of Key Strategies to help guide the creation of goals and policies for land use, circulation, open space, conservation, noise, safety, historic and cultural resources, and environmental justice for the entire city, consistent with state law As part of the Sacramento 2040 Project, an updated Climate Action & Adaptation Plan has been prepared that includes strategies to help the City address the effects of climate change and to provide the tools for the City to meet state goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.
