Sacramento Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-06 · Sacramento

17.412.010 Purpose and intent.

A. The McClellan Heights and Parker Homes special planning district (SPD) is intended to establish development standards to implement the goals and policies of the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes land use and infrastructure plan (plan), which encompasses a portion of the North Sacramento Community Plan. These regulations further the following plan goals:

  1. Strengthen the residential character and identity of the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes neighborhoods;

  2. Provide high-quality, safe housing in a variety of housing types and levels of affordability;

  3. Ensure that McClellan Heights and Parker Homes neighborhoods have access to neighborhood-serving retail and other amenities to meet community needs;

  4. Ensure safety and compatibility between residential land uses and the adjacent McClellan Airport;

  5. Ensure safety and compatibility between residential land uses and nonresidential uses within the plan area, particularly as existing non-conforming uses transition to land uses allowed in the plan; and

  6. Promote opportunities for new open space and community facilities to meet the needs of residents.

B. The SPD is also intended to help protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents in the vicinity of the McClellan Airport, a general aviation airport that lies northeast of the plan area, by ensuring that new development is compatible with the McClellan Airport comprehensive land use plan to effectuate the policies stated in the Airport Land Use Commission Law.

C. The restrictions in this SPD are also intended to prevent new problems of land use incompatibility between industrial and residential developments, and to prevent existing incompatible land uses from expanding or changing to other incompatible uses. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)

17.412.020 McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD boundaries.

The McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD zone is that area designated "McClellan Heights/Parker Homes Special Planning District" in Exhibit A at the end of this chapter, and is generally that area of North Sacramento bounded by North Avenue and the I-80 freeway on the south, Raley Boulevard on the west, Bell Avenue on the north, and Winters Street on the east. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)

17.412.030 Use regulations.

A. Land uses. Development within the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD is subject to the requirements and restrictions of this chapter in addition to those of the underlying zone. The provisions of this chapter prevail over any conflicting provisions of this title.

B. McClellan Airport comprehensive land use plan. The McClellan Airport planning boundaries and the McClellan Airport overflight zone encompass a portion of the SPD as set out in the McClellan Airport comprehensive land use plan (CLUP). Three categories of land use restrictions are included in the CLUP for the area within the overflight zone: (1) land use restrictions to minimize the number of people exposed to hazards related to aircraft operations and accidents; (2) residential land use restrictions or conditions to minimize the number of persons exposed to noise from aircraft operations; and (3) height restrictions to protect the navigable airspace around the airport for aircraft safety. The county of Sacramento has adopted noise contours for the McClellan Airport based on projected air-craft

operations in the year 2022. A depiction of the location of the 2022 McClellan Airport 60 CNEL noise contour within the SPD boundary is provided in Exhibit B at the end of this chapter. The following restrictions apply to developments within the SPD that are located within the McClellan Airport overflight zone:

  1. Any new construction or expansion of existing buildings or structures on property within the CLUP overflight zone must be consistent with the CLUP land use compatibility guidelines for safety.

  2. No new residential development requiring a discretionary permit or entitlement is allowed within the McClellan Airport noise contour that exceeds 65 CNEL. The owners of residential development requiring a discretionary permit or entitlement that is located within the McClellan Airport noise contour that exceeds 60 CNEL shall record an official statement that discloses to current and future property owners that the property is subject to overflights and associated noise and other impacts of aircraft operating at McClellan Airport.

  3. No building, structure, or other object may be located within the overflight zone if it (a) exceeds 100 feet measured from the ground; (b) reflects the light of the sun or directs a steady light or a flashing light towards the area where aircraft approach or depart from McClellan Airport; or (c) would generate a substantial volume of smoke, attract a large concentration of birds, generate electrical interference, or otherwise affect safe navigation in the vicinity of McClellan Airport.

C. RMX zone in the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD.

  1. Uses permitted in the RMX zone within the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD are the same as the uses permitted for the RMX zone. If this title requires the approval of a special permit or other discretionary entitlement or imposes other restrictions or requirements on the establishment of a particular use in the RMX zone outside of the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD, approval of the same discretionary entitlement and compliance with the same restrictions or requirements is required to establish the use in the RMX zone within the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD.

  2. Manufacturing, service, and repair (not exceeding 6,400 gross square feet of floor area) is allowed if the use includes incidental, non-nuisance producing processing, packaging, and fabricating entirely within a building. D. C-2 zone in the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD.

  3. Except as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection, uses permitted in the C-2 zone within the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD are the same as the uses permitted in the C-2 zone. If this title requires the approval of a special permit or other discretionary entitlement or imposes other restrictions or requirements on the establishment of a particular use in the C-2 zone outside of the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD, approval of the same discretionary entitlement and compliance with the same restrictions or requirements is required to establish the use in the C-2 zone within the McClellan Heights and Parker Homes SPD.
