FAIR OAKS BOULEVARD
CORRIDOR PLAN
Project Description
Fair Oaks Boulevard
and Manzanita Avenue have been designated by the County of Sacramento as
commercial corridors to receive economic and development standard improvements.
The Fair Oaks Boulevard Corridor Plan calls for land use objectives, design
guidelines, development standards and streetscape design. The Fair Oaks
Boulevard Project is a multi-year program that will further the goals of the
Carmichael Community Action Plan adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2006 to
reutilize and enhance Fair Oaks Boulevard. The creation of the Corridor Plan
will be accomplished in three steps:
-
Defining Opportunities.
The first step is to identify issues and opportunities for implementing the
community’s objectives for Carmichael and Fair Oaks Boulevard.
-
Strategies.
The second step will propose land use, economic development, infrastructure,
circulation, and design strategies. A concepts report will summarize the
results of Step 2.
-
Action Plan.
The third step will result in a set of implementation activities that will
establish investment priorities and sequencing.
Project Location/Boundary:
The corridor study area is
along Fair Oaks Boulevard in the Carmichael community area, starting at Oak
Avenue at the southern end, and extending to Marshall Avenue on the eastern
end. The corridor also extends northward along Manzanita Avenue to just
north of Winding Way at the northern end.
Project Status:
The
Public Review draft of the Fair Oaks Boulevard Corridor Plan is now posted
to the website and available for review. The Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) process has begun.
The EIR will be
completed in late 2009 and public hearings on the Plan and environmental
document will occur at that time. Adoption of the Plan is expected in late
2009/early 2010. The project will also include a roadway project for a
portion of the Corridor between Marconi and Engle Avenues.

Past Community Workshops
Over the
past two years the County of Sacramento has held a series of community
meetings and workshops as part of the Fair Oaks Boulevard Corridor planning
process. Meetings and workshops have been held with participants form the
community, the Carmichael-Old Foothill Farms Community Council and the Board
of Supervisors to provide updates and discuss overall objectives for the
plan and design options for Fair Oaks Boulevard.
Fair
Oaks Boulevard Corridor Plan Informational Workshop (2008)
An
informational workshop was held on December 17, 2008 at the Carmichael
Library. The meeting was held to update the Carmichael-Old Foothill Farms
Community Council on the Fair Oaks Boulevard Corridor Plan, prior to
requesting the Board of Supervisors’ endorsement of the draft corridor
plan. The workshop covered land use, and district urban design concepts for

Community Workshop (2007)
More
than 175 people attended the community workshop on October 30, 2007.
Supervisor Susan Peters welcomed the workshop attendees and gave a brief
summary of the process. Principal Planner Cindy Storelli presented more
details and encouraged people to fill out the question and comment cards and
check the project website for meeting notes, updates, and draft documents.
Consultants Bruce Race of RACESTUDIO and Chris Brieland of Fehr & Peers
provided a short overview of roadway design and planning concepts for the
area.
After the welcome and presentation, attendees formed 18 planning teams and
identified their top five objectives for the Corridor Plan and rated how
each of the three roadway design options supported their top objectives.

Community Workshop (2006)
More than
60 people attended the December 4, 2006 workshop about the Fair Oaks
Boulevard Corridor Plan process. The workshop agenda included a review of
the overall planning process and policy context; a presentation of the
initial planning analysis; and identification of future places and
supporting neighborhood circulations and connections. The workshop included
hands-on participation of attendees. Participants were divided into teams
and identified at least three “reasons to go” to The Colony Main Street
District, North Manzanita District and East Manzanita District. These land
use activities were presented back by each team. Overall themes from team
presentations included a desire to attract more “up-scale” businesses,
increasing the amount of neighborhood-serving uses, and building into each
sub area an anchor use or attraction. All the areas were considered
mixed-use districts including, at varying degrees, residential uses.
