Swanston Station Transit Village Project

Swanston Station Transit Village Project

The Swanston Station Transit Village Specific Plan is intended to create a safe and comfortable transit village with a mix of uses, and a bicycle-and pedestrian-friendly environment. In keeping with the City and the Sacramento region's goals to promote public transit ridership, the plan proposes higher-intensity infill residential development, small neighborhood-serving retail, small-to medium-scale professional office uses, and public open space- all within convenient walking distances of the light rail station. In order to achieve the village plan, two new General Plan land use designations would be applied to the area. The proposed Mixed Use land designation would promote a mixture of office, commercial, open space, and medium and high-density residential uses; the proposed Residential Mixed Use land use designation would support a mixture of residential densities, as well as commercial and/or office use. The specific plan will not result in any demolition or displacement of existing residential or business. The intent of the plan is to direct and support future development and redevelopment in a manner that accomplishes the transit village vision. The specific plan will include new development regulations to create the desired urban design character and form, and to allow a mix of uses that are more difficult to accommodate with traditional single-use zoning districts These development regulations, which will replace the existing zoning and development regulations, will be combined with recommendations for traffic and circulations improvements for automobiles, transit, bicyclists and pedestrians; infrastructure and utility improvements; and public/open space amenities, including parks, pocket and transit plazas. The plan will also include a strategy for funding the proposed plan improvements over several phases.
