Community and neighborhood plans focus on smaller areas of the city, focusing the broad objectives of the general plan into area-specific development policies. These plans help to guide investment decisions of both the city and property owners and developers.
In March 2007, the Sacramento City Council authorized staff to expand work on the 2030 General Plan to include a review of the city's community plans. This review transformed the community plans from stand-alone documents (separate from the 1988 General Plan) into chapters of the 2030 General Plan.
The process involved removing redundant or conflicting community plan policies and creating a consistent outline for all community plans to follow in the future.
The community plan chapters serve primarily as placeholders for future work, if and when such efforts are approved and funded by the Sacramento City Council.
