The subject property is designated Agriculture General (AG) by the County General Plan and zoned River Frontage (R-F).
Document Description
The proposed project will restore floodplain and fish habitat adjacent to the Sacramento River by manipulating the existing topography, re-contouring a swale, and planting native vegetation. The purpose of the project is to provide juvenile salmonids access to high-quality rearing habitat on the floodplain and remove any barriers that prevent them from returning to the main channel when the floodwaters recede. Engineering designs plan to remove the earthen berm, allowing the site to flood more frequently at approximately 22,000 cfs. After the construction of floodplain enhancements, the applicant will restore the riparian habitat on the site. This includes actively planting native riparian species and supporting the restoration with ongoing monitoring and maintenance for three years. The proposed plans to enhance the floodplain will benefit resident and migratory birds, fish, mammals, and invertebrates.
