What's New?

On March 3, 2009, the City Council adopted the Sacramento 2030 General Plan, and certified the Master Environmental Impact Report.

The adoption of the General Plan set a new direction for the future of Sacramento. The General Plan was shaped by extensive outreach to residents, business, developers, and decision-makers. It was developed based on the City’s Smart Growth Principles, Council adopted Vision and Guiding Principles for the General Plan, and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments Blueprint. Six themes emerged from this framework:

  • Making Great Places
  • Growing Smarter
  • Maintaining a Vibrant Economy
  • Creating a Healthy City
  • Living Lightly-Reducing our “Carbon Footprint”
  • Developing a Sustainable Future
