Other Location Info
The GrandPark Southwest Specific Plan (proposed project or GSSP) is an 1,871.2-acre mixed-use project located in unincorporated northwestern Sacramento County east of Highway 99. The proposed project is immediately north of the North Natomas community in the City of Sacramento and south of Sutter County and southwest of Placer County. The proposed project includes a broad range of residential land uses, as well as health care, commercial and employment land uses and schools, parks, and open space to support the residential land uses.
The proposed project is surrounded by a number of proposed, developing or designated growth areas. Immediately south in the City of Sacramento is the North Natomas Community Plan Area. To the north in Sutter County is Sutter Pointe Specific Plan. Immediately to the east and north is the proposed GrandPark Brookfield Specific Plan area, subject to a separate active planning application, review and approval. Immediately east of Sacramento International Airport and west of the Plan Area is the approved Metro Air Park industrial and airport-support use master plan. Further to the east lie the unincorporated communities of Rio Linda and Elverta, including the approved Elverta Specific Plan. North of these two communities in Placer County is the Placer Vineyards Specific Plan.
The project site is included in the Natomas Joint Vision Overlay Area in Sacramento County General Plan, which identifies the project area within a “study area” for future growth. Currently, however, the GSSP Plan Area (Plan Area) is outside the existing Sacramento County Urban Services Boundary (USB) and Urban Policy Area (UPA). The proposed project would amend the USB and UPA to include all of the Plan Area (±1,871.2 acres) (see Figures NOP-1 and NOP-2).
The proposed project would amend the Sacramento County General Plan Land Use Diagram to change the land use designations within the Plan Area (1,871.2 acres) from Agricultural Cropland (1,871.2 acres) to GrandPark Southwest Specific Plan (GSSP) (+1,871.23 acres) (see Figure NOP-3).
The proposed project would amend the Zoning Diagram to change the Zoning Designations in the prospective plan area (+1,871.2 acres) to GrandPark Southwest Specific Plan (GSSP) for the Applicants’ properties (+1,230.5 acres) (see Figure NOP-4). Non-participating property owners would retain their existing zoning of AG-80 (with a Flood Combining Zone for a portion of those non-participating properties) (+640.9 acres). Table NOP-1 shows the breakdown of the various land uses and zoning designations and Figure NOP-5 shows the proposed land use plan.
The Plan Area is located within two school districts, the Twin Rivers Unified School District (TRUSD) and the Elverta Joint Elementary School District (EJESD). The EJESD provides elementary and middle school facilities only, and the TRUSD provides elementary and middle schools in the district and high school facilities in both districts. The Plan Area would include two TK-8 school sites designated as School. Proposed TK-8 school sites are adjacent to neighborhood parks to provide opportunities for joint use and connect to the surrounding neighborhoods with Class I trails, pedestrian sidewalks, and on-street bike lanes. Final locations of school sites and facilities would be determined by the County and the school district(s).
The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment to the Transportation Plan Diagram and Active Transportation Plan. As shown in Figure NOP-6, the design for new roadways in the Plan Area utilizes a circulation pattern that emphasizes residential and collector streets and small block size design rather than arterial roadways. The major roadways within the Plan Area total approximately 109.1 acres. Figure NOP-7 shows the proposed pedestrian and bicycle trails.
