City of Sacramento Residential and Commercial Design Guidelines - North Sacramento Redevelopment Area
|
|
| In 1992 the North Sacramento
community committed itself to becoming redevelopment area, and the City
adopted a Redevelopment Plan. The neighborhood chamber of commerce,
long-time residents and other local leaders also began working
aggressively to develop and implement an arts and entertainment theme for
the neighborhood.
The "Uptown Arts District" is envisioned as a mecca for professional artists, art collectors, interior designers, the weekend arts enthusiast, and visitors to Sacramento. Through the combination of local leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, niche marketing, and redevelopment resources, Uptown is now home to more than thirty small studios and galleries as well as large home design retailers. These businesses combine with the long established neighborhood-serving uses to create an eclectic pedestrian-oriented shopping district. |

The 1,186-acre project area also includes a manufacturing and commercial sector between State Route 160 and the American River Parkway. In recent years several large retail stores have been constructed, including Costco and Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI). In mid-1999, Radiological Associates of Sacramento Medical Group consolidated disparate administrative and operational facilities into a new $3.6 million building on Expo Parkway, and in 2001 the John Davis Company moved into a new $3.8 million facility on an adjacent parcel. This activity, coupled with the art savvy neighborhood-shopping district, will move North Sacramento toward re-establishing its place as a well-known and prosperous area. |
