In 2011, a newly adopted master plan for Sacramento’s River District laid out a future of slow transformation from largely a commercial area with aging industrial buildings into one with new residential, retail and office space.
Though some of that is coming to pass, enough has changed in the world overall that the city has started a two-year process to craft a new master plan for the area between the Railyards and the American River.
“We’re looking at the existing plan and what has and hasn’t been working,” said Amy Yang, a city associate planner who’s helping guide the process to craft a new River District master plan. “What we wanted back then is probably different than what we want right now.”
