Document Description
The Project includes amendments to the 2035 General Plan to increase the minimum density and maximum floor area ratio (FAR) standards for the East Bidwell Mixed-use Overlay and establish a new Transit Development Overlay (and associated development standards) for the areas surrounding the Iron Point and Glenn Stations. The project also allows for the potential of an additional 1,882 residential units in the Folsom Plan Area over the next 12 to 20 years. To account for the increased residential capacity, the project would reduce 251,266 square feet of non-residential development capacity in the Folsom Plan Area. In total, the project proposes to create capacity for up to 6,046 additional residential units in the city. By increasing capacity in targeted areas, the City will be able to maintain an adequate supply of land for multi-family housing without having to rezone land in established residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the project amends the Mobility Element of the General Plan to include "roundabout prioritization " policies. Finally, the project amends the Implementation Element related to mobility, tribal cultural resources, and noise and vibration.
