Landfill Property
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors
established a 2,000-foot buffer around the
landfill within which uses incompatible with the
Kiefer facility would be prohibited.
The Department of Waste Management and Recycling
owns over 3,300 acres within and adjacent to the
buffer.
LUFA Land Use Feasibility Analysis
A study of the uses to which this land could be
put that would best benefit the people of the
County, the County government, and the landfills
neighbors.

The meeting introduced the SPA process and
solicited input from project stakeholders and the
general public.
Writing the SPA Ordinance
The SPA includes the recommendations of the LUFA
and incorporates comments received at the prior
public meetings.

Plan Review by the Design Review Administrator
Applications for commercial and industrial
development are reviewed by the Design Review
Administrator. The Design Review Administrator
reviews projects based on aesthetics and
compatibility with their surroundings. For uses
permitted in the SPA, the Design Review
Administrators approval is required. For
projects conditionally permitted by the Zoning
Code, the Design Review Administrator reports on
the project to the Planning Commission.

Architectural Standards
Sites and structures shall be designed with the
rural nature of the site in mind.
Designs will be evaluated in terms of proportion,
coherent massing, and the integration of exterior
elements into the design.
Structures (including pre-engineered structures)
shall be of a cohesive design.
Materials shall give the impression of permanence.
Building design shall use sustainable and
energy-conserving design principles similar to
those described in the LEED standard.
34
Site Design Standards
Sites shall be designed with the rural nature of
the site in mind.
Development shall preserve as much of the
