The Public Review Period was originally scheduled to end on April 25, 1994, but was extended to May 4, 1994 to allow an errata sheet to the Southport Framework Plan Draft EIR to be distributed. Individual responses have been provided for each comment received.

The errata sheet, as well as the public hearing notice, are attached to this Final EIR as an appendix.

The EIR must be cleared as adequate and certified by the City Council prior to any project approvals Project Approval After the EIR is certified and all information is presented, it will remain the City Council's decision to go forward with the preferred Project, select an alternative to the project, or choose another project which meets the objectives of the City and addresses public concerns. In compliance with CEQA, this decision may be made at the EIR Certification hearing or at a later date. City of West Sacramento Southport Framework Plan I - 1 Final EIR INTRODUCTION Relationship Between the Project and the EIR The Project (also referred to as "preferred project") consists of the Southport Framework Plan document which is a policy document intended to serve as a refinement of the City's General Plan. The Southport Framework Plan includes zoning designations for land uses located within the project area, Design Guidelines and an Implementation Plan. As described in the Project Description contained in the Draft EIR, the Southport Framework Plan has been prepared to guide future development in the Project Area by identifying land uses, development policies and guidelines, and specify procedures and requirements. The EIR, on the other hand, is a detailed informational document, prepared by Willdan Associates for the City of West Sacramento, which analyzes the project's significant environmental effects and identifies possible mitigation measures and reasonable alternatives. According to the CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15002, the basic purposes of CEQA are to o Inform governmental decision makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed activities; Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; o Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds the changes to be feasible; and o Disclose to the public the reasons why a governmental agency approved the project in the manner the agency chose if significant environmental effects are involved. These basic purposes are implemented, in part, with an EIR. This EIR has been prepared objectively by the City's consultant and independently reviewed by City staff for completeness and adequacy (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15084(e). This EIR is programmatic in nature due to the size of the Southport Framework Plan. It is anticipated that site specific environmental review will be required for individual development proposals. City of West Sacramento Southport Framework Plan 1-2 Final EIR WRITTEN COMk' I KM 'WANDP]RESPONSES The following section contains comment letters on the Draft EIR received during the public review period (March 11, 1994 - May 4, 1994), and written responses to those comments. Written responses immediately follow each comment letter. Although CEQA only requires that this document respond to those comments that are specific to the environmental issues contained within Draft EIR, every attempt has been made to respond to comments pertaining to the Project in general. Changes to Draft EIR text resulting from comments and responses are shown as additions and deletiefis. The comment letters are chronologically listed and organized by the date they were received.

  • Town Hall Meeting Report February 2, 2018
    Town Hall Meeting Report February 2, 2018 In late 2017, Chief Daniel Hahn conducted a series of Town Hall Meetings in four areas of the City of Sacramento. These meetings were held at the locations and dates below: East Command Town Hall Meeting Colonial Heights Library 4799 Stockton Boulevard November 9, 2017 Central Command Town Hall Meeting Hart Senior Center 927 27th Street November 15, 2017 North Command Town Hall Meeting South Natomas Community Center 2921 Truxel Road November 30, 2017 South Command Town Hall Meeting Pannell Meadowview Community Center 2450 Meadowview Road December 7, 2017 At these meetings, community input was sought regarding key department priorities, service delivery and steps that can be made with community partners to advance the Sacramento Police Department (SPD). The information gathered in these meetings will be used to help set Department priorities as we move forward. The following report summarizes common themes and the Sacramento Police Department’s efforts to serve our City. What do you think are the top city-wide priorities for SPD? The three most common priorities that emerged as a result of the townhall meetings are: 1. Homelessness, 2. Community Relations, and 3. Mental Health and Law Enforcement Training. SPD has been working hard to address these priorities as we also realize their significance. Detailed information about our strategies to address these concerns are outlined below: • Homelessness City of Sacramento efforts to prevent, reduce and end homelessness The number of unhoused people on our streets is increasing- which is tragic and unacceptable. The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) is a key partner in supporting the citywide initiative to reduce homelessness and provide services to this vulnerable segment of our community.
