What is North Natomas?

North Natomas is the largest new growth area of the City of Sacramento comprised of approximately 7,200 acres located in both the City and County. North Natomas plans for a new urban form integrating residential, commercial, industrial and civic uses interdependent on transit. North Natomas is characterized by:

  • Town Center, located in the heart of the community, serving as the center of activity. This community focal point is anchored by the Education Complex, the Regional Park, commercial centers, high density residential and civic uses.
  • Regional Park located next to the Town Center serving the entire City of Sacramento. Neighborhood Parks built in each neighborhood providing joint use with schools.
  • Neighborhoods are designed with an elementary school as a focal point. Parks, transit, retail/commercial and civic uses are within close proximity. The intersection of three or four neighborhoods creates a village center with a commercial center. The plan fosters the formation and participation of neighborhood associations.
  • Employment Center development located along the light rail stations and the I-5 corridor. These centers are mixed use developments with primary employment generators and secondary support retail, industrial, and high density residential uses.
  • Transit Oriented Development around future light rail stations.
