General Plan Update
HOLDING CAPACITY ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND

As required by the General Plan the County is required to maintain a 20-year supply of land within the Urban Policy Area  to accommodate growth in the unincorporated area. Policy LU-76 of the General Plan requires a periodic review and expansion of the Urban Policy Area (UPA) to maintain an adequate supply of land to meet projected demand for housing.  The UPA indicates the area within the unincorporated County where urban development can occur over the next 20 years.

Sacramento County’s Planning and Community Development Department has requested that the Board of Supervisors adopt strategies that would accommodate the growth allocation as defined by SACOG’s adopted Blueprint Vision - 99,700 new residential units for the unincorporated County through 2030.  Since this allocation exceeds the current residential holding capacity of the UPA, strategies must be included in the updated General Plan to increase the holding capacity.  Four growth management strategies have been proposed to accommodate this growth: buildout of planned communities, commercial corridor revitalization, infill and expansion of the UPA to build new communities.  For more information on these conceptual strategies, please review the information provided below.
