A specific plan is a regulatory document that provides detailed, area-specific guidance for how a neighborhood or group of neighborhoods should grow and develop over time. Specific plans describe a vision for the future—typically looking ahead 10 to 20 years—and must be consistent with a jurisdiction’s general plan. However, because they focus on a much smaller area, specific plans can include more detailed (or “specific”) policies, maps, and regulations.
In California, and in the city of Sacramento, specific plans are required to include:
A specific plan should capture the shared vision of the community and provide a clear framework for public and private decisions about development, including infrastructure, parks, and public areas. It helps guide investment and ensures that future growth supports the community’s goals.
For more information about required components of a specific plan, please visit Section 17.904.010 of the City of Sacramento Planning and Development Code.
As part of the specific plan update, the City will also update the Central City Finance Plan, which will reevaluate how infrastructure improvements such as new streets, utilities, and public space can be funded.
