Army Depot |
||
| As part of the Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Sacramento Army Depot was scheduled for closure in early 1994. The prospect of this base closure presented a serious challenge to the City of Sacramento, with potential for creating an employment and development void in an already low-income area of the City. In response, the City Council established the Sacramento Army Depot Reuse Commission to plan for base reuse. Between April 1992 and July 1994, the Commission considered a number of base reuse proposals, including a minimum-security prison, a Caltrans equipment shop, and various warehouse uses. |

Army Depot Redevelopment Area, which cover 1,420 acres of land, was adopted 1995, last amended 1998,and expires 2025. The goals of the Army Depot Redevelopment Plan remain the same as when the redevelopment area was adopted in March 1995. These goals are geared toward an array of issues the area is facing including: the promotion of new private sector investment through rehabilitating structures and installing needed site improvements, the elimination or amelioration of environmental deficiencies, such as insufficient off-street parking, storm water drainage and other similar public improvements, the development of local job opportunities and preservation of the existing employment base, and the increase, improvement and preservation of the City’s supply of affordable very low, low, and moderate-income housing. | |
