Our ApproachOur Approach
The Broad Visioning Process will lead to thecreation of:
• A set of fundamental principles to address theA set of fundamental principles to address the issues and guide subsequent planning efforts
• Conceptual land use diagrams for urban• Conceptual land use diagrams for urban development and open space

Project PurposeProject Purpose• The Natomas Joint Vision Area has unique regional
assets and offers potential benefits to the entireassets and offers potential benefits to the entire region
• The Natomas Joint Vision area has complex pchallenges which can be met by multi-jurisdictional cooperation and commitment to high quality planning.Th B d Vi i i P i “hi h l l i• The Broad Visioning Process is a “high level exercise from 30,000 feet”, not a site-specific analysis of detailed issues.

Summary of Workshop #1Summary of Workshop #1
• Presentations by City & County • Assets & Opportunities• Challenges for Developing NJV• Lessons from Other Communities• Planning Principlesg p• Survey (also available on-line)
10Workshop #1
Workshop #1 - SurveyWorkshop #1 Survey• #1 Planning Considerations:
– Flood Protection– Flood Protection– Habitat Protection
• Begin planning for NJV today
11Workshop #1
Workshop #1 - SurveyWorkshop #1 Survey• Vision: urban development with
emphasis on proximity/li k t d t i tlinkage to downtown, airport, open space – Compact, walkable, mixed uses
Q lit d i d t i l– Quality design and materials– Land Park & Midtown examples– Tangible open space = see, feel, touch,
experienceexperience
12Workshop #1
Assets & OpportunitiesAssets & Opportunities
• SAFCA - $600 million i t t (NLIP)investment (NLIP)
• International Airport - $1.6 billion investmentbillion investment
• Metro Air Park – 1,900 acres and 38 000 jobsand 38,000 jobs
• Downtown-Natomas-Airport light rail extension plannedlight rail extension planned
• Crossroads of I-5 and I-80
13Workshop #1
Planning ConsiderationsPlanning Considerations
14
FarmingFarming
• Crop suitability– Soil types– Availability of water
• Urban conflicts– Movement of equipment– Vandalism– Dust, noise, spraying
15Planning Considerations
Open SpaceOpen Space• Trails
Relationship to Natomas– Relationship to Natomas– Relationship to regional trail system– Access to scenic resources (river, canals)( )
• Active and passive open space
16Planning Considerations
Habitat ObjectivesHabitat Objectives
• Maintain integrity of existing Habitat Conservation Pl (HCP)Plan (HCP)
• Look beyond the existing HCP to sustain or improve covered species populationscovered species populations
• Strategies include: idi t t d & d l d– providing more protected & managed land
– improving management practices restoring natural habitat values– restoring natural habitat values
17Planning Considerations
Giant Garter Snake (Thamnophis gigas) Giant Garter Snake (Thamnophis gigas) • Water via canals, ditches &
rice fieldsrice fields• Feeds primarily on aquatic
fish frogs and tadpolesfish, frogs and tadpoles• Vegetative cover & screens to
block view of “intruders” • “String of pearls”: connections
& rest stops • Multiple populations for long-
term viability
18Planning Considerations
Swainson’s Hawk (Buteo Swainsoni)Swainson s Hawk (Buteo Swainsoni)• Nesting trees near foraging areas,
principally along Sacramento Riverprincipally along Sacramento River & Cross Canal
• Nest fidelityy• Foraging habitat: actively farmed
field crops• Hunts mice, ground squirrels,
rabbits, birds & reptiles during breeding seasonbreeding season
• Prefer large contiguous foraging areas
19Planning Considerations
AirportAirport• Airport Lands Management
critical one ha ardo s ildlife– critical zone: - hazardous wildlife and safety
– overflight zone: -safety
– noise contours -noise
• Future Airport Growth– third runway
– north extension of east runway
ll i l d (i l di i– all airport lands (including airport buffer area) federally obligated and available only for airport d l tdevelopment
20Planning Considerations
Land Uses - Urban and non-urbanLand Uses Urban and non urban
• Relationship of urban to non-urban– Agriculture and Habitat: assets vs need to
bufferHard edges vs soft edges– Hard-edges vs soft edges
– Tangible open space vs protected preserves
21Planning Considerations
Land Uses - Urban and non-urbanLand Uses Urban and non urban
• Proximity to:– existing preserves– interchanges– existing development
• Connectivity– Transportation modes– Recreation including trail
systemssystems– Non-urban including habitat
corridors
22Planning Considerations
Land Uses - Urban and non-urbanLand Uses Urban and non urban
• Suitability– Habitat– Farming– Urban
• Type of urban use– Compact– Larger parcels
R i l tt ti• Regional attraction
