Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The City of Sacramento’s 2040 General Plan was adopted by City Council on February 27, 2024. The 2040 General Plan provides a strategic framework for guiding Sacramento’s growth and development with a focus on sustainability and equity. It plans for the addition of 69,000 housing units and 77,000 jobs by the year 2040, concentrating development along key corridors and centers to support a reliable, high-frequency transit network and promote a built environment that creates walkable, bikeable communities. It also introduces policies that allow a greater variety of housing types across all residential neighborhoods and includes a data-driven policy framework to advance environmental justice and strengthen community resilience to urban heat and climate change impacts.
Part IV of the General Plan (Administration and Implementation) includes 79 implementing actions to advance its goals and policies. Every year, staff compile an annual report on the General Plan implementation progress. This annual report highlights key accomplishments, provides updates on implementing actions, and tracks progress toward sustainability and equity goals.

This ensures that the General Plan policies, standards, and strategic implementation program continue to align with the City’s vision and goals for growth and development over the next 20 years, as well as remain responsive to current economic, social, and technological trends.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: The 2040 General Plan was approved by City Council on February 27, 2024. The General Plan calls for an annual report to the Planning and Design Commission and City Council on the progress made towards achieving its vision and goals. In assessing this progress, staff can highlight accomplishments, identify areas for improvement, and develop an action plan for the upcoming year. The annual reports and a five-year update cycle ensure that the General Plan continues to be a living document - responsive to the City’s short-term interests and needs while addressing its long-term priorities and values.
