Document Description
In July 2021, the County received grant funding for an update to the 2008 Infill Program for the purposes of identifying current barriers to infill development and developing a strategy to address said barriers. Informed by the prior effort, stakeholder engagement, and Board of Supervisors (Board) direction, the Infill Program Update is a roadmap to facilitate policy and procedural changes, as well as development review process improvements, to encourage infill development and to increase and accelerate housing production in the County.

Other Location Info
Sacramento County (County) is located in the northern portion of the Central Valley. It is bordered by Sutter and Placer Counties to the north, El Dorado and Amador Counties to the east, San Joaquin and Contra Costa Counties to the south, and Yolo and Solano Counties to the west. Interstate 80 (I-80), I-5, State Route 50 (SR-50), SR-99, SR-16, SR-12, and SR-160 provide regional access. Future implementation of the Program will apply to existing unincorporated communities including Commercial Corridors within the County’s Urban Policy Area.
Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
PRC Sections 21102 & 21150; CEQA Guidelines Section 15262; Feasibility and Planning Studies Common Sense Exemption; CEQA
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 and 15061(b)(3), Feasibility and Planning Studies and the Common Sense Exemption, respectively.
The proposed project is exempt under the Statutory Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15262) for Feasibility and Planning Studies because the Infill Program is a planning study that outlines future actions and will not have legally binding effects on later activities or on any parcel within the County. Implementation of one or more of the Infill Program toolkit recommendations will be analyzed for compliance with CEQA with initiation of future projects. Future discretionary actions implementing the Infill Program Update will require independent environmental analysis, as appropriate. See Attachment 1 for additional information and findings resulting from CEQA compliance review and further support concerning the appropriate CEQA compliance documentation.
Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Sacramento County Infill Program Update would not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA review.
