Stockton Blvd Plan Public Review Draft

The comment period is now closed.

The Public Review Draft Stockton Blvd Plan, which consists of a specific plan and a neighborhood action plan, has been updated using input received on the Community Working Version Stockton Blvd Plan (Working Version). The Working Version was released in July 2022 as a work in progress. The Engagement Team (including City staff, consultants, and community members) held multiple events and provided a wide variety of methods to discuss the Plan and collect comments through the end of October 2022.

City staff used this input to update the Stockton Blvd Plan, making it more in line with community priorities. This will lead to a more successful implementation of the Plan’s policies and actions.

Just cut it off from your house and bundle it at the pole, or hell just cut it off at the pole. That's what I and my neighbours do. Have you tried asking your neighbours to do the same? I wdon't see why this should be a government issue unless Comcast starts going after people for it.

We know what needs to happen but the city's org structure makes it take literal decades. We need a multidisciplinary team from the city assigned to this area who can make small and medium changes themselves and who can meaningfully engage with us.

Please look into mitigating light pollution, both for the environment and for the sake of the people living along the road with light shining in the window. Not only streetlight, many businesses have bright lights on all night while they're closed.

Great opportunity. More outreach opportunity around this... groups/individuals to collaborate around shared spaces. Ability/forum to coordinate the space in question -- agency counter perhaps?

Could grow flowering vines or native grapes on the bus shelters, in line with the non-conventional parks theme. It would also help the clear-paneled bus shelters not turn into ez-bake ovens in the summer please and thank you.

Need more small lots to for this to work in the south half. No startup is going to be able to afford the abandoned 99c store or Rite-Aid, much less the old Sears. Maybe cutting tape enough for small buildings to be built in some of thr mostly-empty-parking-lots?

How much does the city spend on mitigating displacement or helping people achieve homeownership? How many homes in poor neighbourhoods could that money buy instead? I actually don't know the numbers, it might not be very much. But if the city bought homes and gave them to the residents, it would update the prop 13 taxes. The city could even sell the property to the new owners and offer financing with payments equal to the rent they were already paying and not cost taxpayers a dime in the long run. Would need some kind of covenant ensuring it's owner-occupied going forward.

If the permitting requirements for hosting and performing live music were removed then this would naturally happen anyway. We already have laws about noise, curfews, alcohol, nuisances, et c; so any real issues that might arise are already covered. I doubt there would be much loss in city revenue since nowhere in the corridor except dedicated music venues seem to get the permits anyway.

More trash would be good, especially if businesses producing trash pay for the cans and collection instead of taxpayers in general. When I clean up trash on Stockton, sometimes more than half of what I pick up is from the Starbucks. And the trash cand that do exist are always full, so clearly many people WANT to throw their trash away. Even if people litter, the rest of us can easily clean up if there's always a bin nearby.

PLEASE if any public money is going towards public art, hire local artists directly. The extra cost and time will be so much less than the lost value from working with private intermediaries. Please refer to the city auditor's 2022 report, tellingly titled: "EXECUTING A CONTRACT WITH THE WRONG ENTITY AND AWARDING FUNDING WITHOUT WRITTEN AGREEMENTS COMPROMISED THE CITY’S ABILITY TO AUDIT WIDE OPEN WALLS AND DAVID SOBON EVENTS" It should be embarrassing that the city continued to work with them after this was published.

The diversity of the Community provides a unique opportunity to bolster the array of arts, culture and creative economy tourism connections. From themed retail experiences, restaurants/dining, farmers markets, seasonal festivals, music, etc. that can be marketed/promoted for visitors to enjoy.

Review the key components of current cultural assets and their connection to the community/tourism business and potential for 'self guided tours' as an example. That would bring visitors into the businesses to provide economic impact to the SBP Partners.

The community history is a key component and ingredient to the development of inclusive cultural tourism opportunities for regional, national and international visitors to Sacramento.

Suggestion
The established Stockton Boulevard cultural arts assets are a great platform for Cultural Tourism promotions, seasonal offerings, tours, tour packages, culinary events, etc. Building upon the current arts and cultural promotions and marketing activities that the greater Sacramento region currently engages in will allow the district to benefit from the efforts already in place by organizations promoting cultural tourism to the community. Leverage that work and programs to engage district businesses to benefit from. Neighborhood by neighborhood / block by block the cultural tourism connections are possible.

I live in Colonial Heights and I have tried to engage the city about the "sky litter" in the area. There is a ridiculous amount of cable, phone and other wires in the sky, the overwhelming majority of which are inactive! These companies are not required to take down their cables when someone discontinues service! Its a travesty and one that does NOT occur in Land Park or East Sac. I had to call Comcast for over 6 months just to get them to take down the cable running from my house after I discontinued service. Imagine all the rentals in the neighborhood and all the different dead/inactive cables running from them. It is literally litter in the sky that I have to look at every day in my back yard. I would like something done about this in neighborhoods in the Stockton corridor. (Frankly, it should be legislation that these company are liable to remove once deactivated!) of course, even better would be below ground cables. But I'll take what I can get.

I think it would also help to not just promote retail on Stockton but also more small neighborhood serving retail within neighborhoods. This gives quicker access to services for many and can help promote people walking around and interacting with their direct neighbors. Midtown has a lot of retail that is just a building built in front of a house and I think this is something that should happen again. Another option for many that would be much easier would be promoting converting garages to store fronts throughout neighborhoods. This would make owning a small business much easier and create a better sense of community within neighborhoods.

Possibly replace "had no" with "didn't allow"? The old documents for my Fr. Manor property still say that non-whites can't live here. I don't think this document needs to go into any depth but the current wording feels disingenuous.

Please update this map to reflect a 2.0 FAR within .5 mi of high frequency transit stops (51 qualifies), as adopted by the City Council in the 2040 GP.
0 replies
Suggestion
We need places that are worth walking and biking to such as parks, greenbelts, and stores. Stockton Blvd is poised near many residential areas, and could be a hub of pedestrian activity if we built an interesting, mixed use environment that generally meets people needs. For example, if I want to go to a coffee shop, the closest one to me is on Fruitridge and Stockton blvd, and both are dangerous roads, so I must drive to a coffee shop to go to one. This discourages place making and the sense of community.

How will we create housing that doesn't require people to drive to travel to the places they need to go? Is there a plan to incorporate mixed use development throughout the corridor?
