Dear Mr. Briggs:

It is indeed a pleasure to transmit the report and maps of the proposed Southeast Area General Plan to the Sacramento County Planning Comission.

The Southeast Area General Phn is a result of over a year of meetings and dis-cussions among the Planning Department staff and the residents and property owners of the southeastern portion of Sacramento County. There vere, of course, moments of disagreement, but these were only a very small percentage of the hours of effort and productive discussion which developed the plan. The cooperative sIsirit of the people in the southeast area and their villingness to davots their time to s

this study is indicative of their interest in the future of the community and their desire to make it a better place in which to live and to earn a living.

v It is this interest and spirit that has made the efforts of the staff more pro-ductive. It gives the Southeast Area General Plan a firm foundation of public support and should enable it to withstand pressures for e hanges which might be detrimental to the community.

The staff of the Planning Department vould like to express its appreciation to the more than 140 individuals who have attended our meetings and helped prepare this plan.

Sincerely, N

EARL D. FRASER Planning Director

827 SEVENTH STREET SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 November 23, 1965 Honorable E. Henry Kloss, Chairman Board of Supervisors County of Sacramento County Administration Building Sacramento, California Subjects Southeast Area General Plan

Dear Mr. Kloss:

The Southeast Area General Plan is herewith transmitted to the Board of Supervisors by the County Planning Commission with a recommendation that the Plan be adopted as a part of the General Plan for the County of Sacramento.

(p It is with a sense of accomplishment that the Commission forwards V

the Southeast Area General Plan to the Board.

The Commission feels that the Plan is sound and will direct development in a manner which will contribute materially to the economic and cul-tural well-being of the County.

This Plan in turn makes feasible the adoption of detailed Comprehensive Zoning Plan maps for units numbered 16, 19, 20, 25 and 26, thereby completing the unit maps for the entire unincorporated portion of the County.

The Commission commends the work of the Citizens Advisory Committee and other agencies participating in the development of the Plan as well as the staff of the Planning Department.

Respectfully submitted, COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION R.

m O-SYNOPSIS The Southeast Area General Plan includes 180 square miles of land in the southeastern portion of Sacramento County. The plan suggests locations for various future uses of the land by indicating areas most suitable for residential development, community facil-ities, recreation, and permanent agriculture.

The Southeast Area General Plan proposes 129 square miles of permanent agriculture,41 square miles of residential and 10 square miles of recreation and community facilities.

Zoning unit maps numbers 16,19, 20, 25, and 26 have been prepared as the fir:t major step in implementing the plan. The adoption of the five zoning unit maps eliminated the "A-3" Agri-cultural zone which has been used as an interim zoning district classification. A new five acre minimum zoning district, "A-5" Agricultural has been adopted.

The research phase of the report includes a description of the physical characteristics, the economy of the area, local services and special districts, the problems of water supply and flooding, existing s

zoning and land use planning in surrounding areas.

The plan phase includes a land use element, a transportation element, a recreation and community facilities element and a pop-ulation projection.

The implementation phase includes proposed zoning district maps and a list of recommendations.

PRELIMINARY PROJECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA AREAS 4 7 AND COUNTIES TO 1985 Department of Finance, Financial and Population Research Section April 20, 1967 ' Sacramento Special Report 5 1 The population projections contained in this report have been prepared by ] the Department of Finance in response to the requests of many agencies and individuals within and outside of State service. They supersede the last set of county projections, dated February 15, 1963 while their total for j the state differs slightly from both of the alternatives published in California Population Projections, 1965-2000, March 1966. The reasons for the differences lie in the use of later information as well as the nature i of the projection process. 1 Projections are emphatically not predictions of things to come; no qualified demographer would make such a claim. A projection says,-in effect, that if the trends of births, deaths and migration which have been assumed are in fact realized, then the stated population will be attained by the stated e - year. Projections are not merely academic exercises with numbers, either. The conscientious planner or administrator can and does use them to help him make decisions; he must decide the relative costs of overplanning and underplanning, of providing too much or too little. The demographer can O only tell him what he can expect under explicit assumptions. The assumptions underlying any set of population projections can be divided into the general and the specific. The general assumptions state that the - basic conditions of the world will not deviate sufficiently from those ex-pected to affect the population significantly. Neither natural calamity nor fundamental institutional changes nor changes in the conditions of war and peace are considered. Specific assumptions embrace deaths, births and mig'ation. Since mortality by age has undergone little change in the past r decade, it'is assumed that present rates will continue throughout the pro- _ jection period. The United States Bureau of the Census has projected population according ~ to _ four differing fertility assumptions designated, from high to low A, B, C, and D. The ' details of these patterns are described in the Bureau publication P-25 No. 359. For the past year and so far in the present l - year, it appears that actual performance has fallen somewhere between C j: and D. The Department of Finance has' experimented with both the C and D fertility series of' the Bureau using the working assumption that California age-specific birth rates, although different from those of the United States, - are converging toward them and will equal national rates in fifty years. v ] Although little'is known about the levels of in-and out-migration to and from California later than that reported from the Census of 1960, during the~ past decade sus annual average of approximately 340,000 more civilians l have arrived than have departed. More recently, the average has been lower.- - These projections of county population assume that within a few s years net migration will attain a level of 300,000 including 65,000 7 Lumigrants. i-J. 83 i e ,n,c, r u -v,e a-, -,----,,,,m,,, -,-wv ,,,r .,,r>-- .,e n,--e,n.,-n-,? ,n,,4w-,,,a-,_,-,, e,n,-,e ,,vr i, This level will be maintained throughout the projection period; both p statewide series using this migration assumption are designated Migration 1 I. Other migration assumptions are possible as are alternate fertility assumptions. The text table below presents the statewide effects of the operation of such alternatives including one which foresees no net migration whatsoever. Although the latter series is not likely to be

~

realized, it is instructive in that its comparison with the other series shows the effects of California's migration upon its future population. Migration II assumes a straight line decline in domestic net migration to zero in fifty years, a reflection of an hypothesis that United States population will attain a dynamic equilibrium in migration within half a century.

This type Fertility D of constraint is delib-erately kept minimal in the belief that imposition of a blanket adjustment underscores a deficiency of analysis in the individual county projection. A very small percentage of adjustment to make the parts " add'up" is tolerable; a substantial adjustment signifies a failure to make meaningful judgments for the parts. Careful estimates of the net migration for the 58 counties for the years 1960 to 1965 had been prepared and used in the development of the most ~ j recently revised county population estimates, those of Table 16, California j Population 1966. These annual figures served as guides in the allocation of the assumed statewide net migration. In this process, essentially one of judgment, advice was sought from county officials, planners and labor market analysts. Their help is gratefully acknowledged and if some of the i-figures below do not agree with their judgments, the disagreement is t attributable to a ' differing vi'ewpoint. The populations presented in this report and the net migration figures underlying them probably lean more heavily on the immediate past and less on the formulations of local and regional plans than local or regional planners would like. This work was 5 influenced by ' their advice when it was offered, but it was necessary to temper it with recent experience in the interests of the statewide pattern of growth.
