INTRODUCTION This document is the five-year Implementation Plan (the “Plan”) for the West Sacramento Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 (the “Project” or “Project Area”). The five-year Implementation Plan includes projects and programs for the five-year period beginning in fiscal year 2005-06 and ending in fiscal year 2009-10. This Implementation Plan was prepared by the West Sacramento Redevelopment Agency (the “Agency”) in compliance with Article 16.5 of the California Community Redevelopment Law (the “CRL” or “Law”). This 2005-2009 Implementation Plan is composed of two separate components, a Redevelopment Component and a Housing Component. The Redevelopment Component revisits the goals and objectives identified when the Project was adopted, and defines the Agency’s strategy to achieve these goals and objectives. As described in the Implementation Plan, the goals and objectives will be accomplished by the implementation of the projects, programs and related expenditures (other than those relating to low and moderate income housing) that have been developed as a means to eliminate blight within the Project Area. In addition, Article 16.5 requires that an Implementation Plan explain how the components of the Implementation Plan will implement various CRL requirements regarding low and moderate income housing. The activities that implement these requirements are contained in the Housing Component. The Housing Component shows how the Agency will meet the statutory requirements for the set-aside and expenditure of tax increment for affordable housing purposes. This Implementation Plan is a policy statement rather than an unalterable course of action. It has been prepared to set priorities for redevelopment activities within the Project Area for the five-year period covered by this Plan. The Implementation Plan incorporates currently known financial constraints of the Agency in developing a program of activities to accomplish revitalization efforts for the Project Area. However, new issues and opportunities may be encountered during the course of administering the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 (the “Redevelopment Plan”) for the Project Area. Therefore, this Implementation Plan may be amended, if necessary, to effectuate the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan. The purpose of this Implementation Plan is to provide a clear and reasonable statement of the Agency’s current intent regarding activities in the Project Area and to establish a nexus between Agency goals and objectives, program activities and the purpose of redevelopment, which is to eliminate blight and to increase, improve and preserve affordable housing. 2005 – 2009 Implementation Plan for Redevelopment Plan No. 1 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

HISTORY AND REASONS FOR ADOPTION OF THE PROJECT AREA The City of West Sacramento (“City”) has one redevelopment project, Redevelopment Project Area No. 1. The Redevelopment Plan was adopted on May 6, 1986. At the time of adoption, West Sacramento was an unincorporated portion of Yolo County territory. The County established the Project Area in response to the interest of East Yolo residents in incorporation, and as a means to provide a financing mechanism to address the areas’ many needs. The Project Area encompasses 5,416 acres or 46 percent of the City’s area including all of the original developed area (Map 1). Historically, West Sacramento has been considered a working class community with the local economy dependent on jobs and revenues created by the trucking and industrial manufacturing and distribution industries. The industrial businesses were attracted to the area due to the proximity to Highway 50 (Hwy 50), Interstate 5 (I-5) and Interstate 80 (I-80) Freeways, cheaper land and compatible zoning. Although not as pronounced as today, 20 years ago when the Project Area was adopted, the Port of Sacramento (the “Port”) was already in decline due to changes in world cargo markets and increased competition from ports with deeper channels. Many of the industrial businesses were aging and their production was also declining due to changes in technology and shifts in the economy due to the increasing urbanization of the Sacramento Area.
