# Planning & Design Commission 6/8/2023

The City of Sacramento Planning and Design Commission met on June 8, 2023, to review the public draft of the 2040 General Plan and receive a status update on revisions to vehicle and bicycle parking requirements. Staff outlined the plan’s priorities, including housing and mixed-use development, equity and environmental justice, climate resilience, transit and active transportation, parks, and implementation. Public speakers and commissioners emphasized housing affordability and inclusionary housing, greater density near transit, parking minimums and maximums, safety and accessibility, and expanded community outreach. The General Plan item was for discussion; staff expects public input through August, a revised draft in September, and adoption hearings in early 2024. A consent-calendar motion passed, but the transcript does not identify its items.

The parking-code project is the meeting’s main procurement-related item. Staff said an RFP was released in December 2022 and a selection committee chose Wright Consultants, with Nelson\u00a0Nygaard, AIM Consulting, and Strategic Economics also involved. The study is expected to begin in July 2023 and conclude in fall 2024; its scope includes parking data and code review, community workshops, and recommendations on parking minimums, maximums, parking management, and bicycle parking. The project follows state AB 2097, which limits parking minimums near transit and applies to about 44% of the city. No contract amount or project budget was stated, and no contract award vote was reported. Commissioners discussed creating residential and non-residential working groups, with four meetings planned for each; appointments were not captured in the available transcript.
