Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Law and Legislation Committee requested amendments to the Sacramento City
Code to reduce the regulatory barriers for urban agriculture and provide tax incentives, pursuant to
AB551, the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Act. This request was prompted by a request from the
Sacramento Urban Agriculture Coalition (SUAC).
On September 11, 2014, staff held a Planning and Design Commission workshop, provided an
overview of the proposed changes, and received positive community input about urban agriculture.
On February 10, 2015, the Law and Legislation Committee held a public hearing on the proposed
Urban Agriculture Ordinance and voted to move it forward without a recommendation. On February
12, 2015, the Planning and Design Commission held a public hearing on the proposed urban
agriculture ordinance, and voted unanimously to forward the staff recommendation to City Council for
adoption.
The draft Urban Agriculture Ordinance, as proposed, would amend the Sacramento City Code to
allow urban agriculture as a primary land use on vacant land in residential, commercial, industrial and
manufacturing zones throughout the city. It would also allow urban agriculture stands and accessory
uses, as outlined in the table below.

greater than 120 sq. ft.
on the site of an urban

Structures to support urban agriculture, such as storage sheds, hoop-houses, and greenhouses
would be permitted, subject to the zoning district regulations.
The proposed amendments to the Sacramento City Code (Attachments 7 & 8) include:
A new Special Use Regulations section on urban agriculture, 17.228.10 -17.228.40
Amendments to 17.108.10 (Definitions)
2 of 368
Amendments to Permitted Uses and Conditional Uses sections of most zones to allow the
following uses: market garden, private community garden, aquaculture, private garden,
and urban beekeeping.
Amendments to Chapter 17.706, Green Building Bonuses for Nonresidential buildings to
provide incentives for rooftop farms.
To examine this more closely, staff prepared a matrix (Attachment 3) comparing the zoning
requirements for on-site stands in various jurisdictions and the results or consequences of allowing
on-site stands by right in single-family residential neighborhoods. The results were inconclusive
because of the jurisdictions sampled, only a few of them shared key features with the Urban
Agriculture Ordinance as originally proposed (allowing on-site stands in most zones, including singlefamily neighborhoods, without requiring any permits or constraints such as the number to days that
stands were allowed to operate).
A memo to urban agriculture advocate Matt Read on the issue of on-site stands (prepared by
ChangeLabSolutions) has been included as Attachment 6.
Staff has incorporated input from interested parties, and recommends the following limits in
residential zones:
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Ordinance would allow property owners to enter into contract
with the City to reduce their property taxes in exchange for enforceably restricting the use of vacant,
unimproved, or otherwise blighted lands for small-scale agricultural production.
As required by State law and the Citys Charter, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors will
have to approve the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Ordinance before City Council can formally
approve it.
Staff recommends reporting back to City Council annually on 1) Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone
Contracts, 2) the number of code enforcement complaints received (if any), and 3) the number of
urban agriculture related use permits.
Policy Considerations: The 2030 General Plan did not anticipate public interest in the urban
agriculture movement. It was assumed that Agriculture-zoned parcels within the city boundary were
not in demand, and that private gardens, community gardens, and farmers markets would fulfill the
communitys needs.
Recognizing the benefits of urban agriculture, the draft 2035 General Plan has since been updated to
include the following goals and policies to address urban agriculture:
GOAL ER4.1
Urban Agriculture and Access to Locally Grown Foods. Expand urban agriculture and food
production and increase the distribution and sale of locally grown fresh food.
3 of 368
ER4.1.1 Community and Rooftop Gardens. The City shall provide incentives for developers
to include community gardens and rooftop gardens in new development projects. (RDR/PI)
ER 4.1.2 Local Food Production, Distribution, and Sale. The City shall promote urban
agriculture with zoning provisions that support means for production, distribution, and sale of
locally grown foods, such as market gardens, farmers markets, community markets, and farm
stands, particularly in areas that have vacant or underutilized land.
LU8.2.7 Locally-Grown and Organic Foods. The City shall allow urban farms and market
gardens at a scale that is appropriate to Sacramentos neighborhoods, particularly in areas
that lack access to fresh healthy foods, and have vacant or underutilized land. (RDR/PI)
Environmental Considerations: The adoption of the proposed ordinance could result in an increase
of privately owned, vacant land for urban agriculture activities. Additionally the proposed creation of
an urban agriculture incentive zone seeks to improve land security for urban agriculture projects. The
land use activities that could result are exempt from CEQA pursuant Guidelines lines section 15304
which includes the minor public or private alteration in the condition of the land, water, and/or
vegetation which does not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or
agricultural purposes.
Sustainability: The proposed Urban Agriculture Ordinance is consistent with the Citys sustainability
goals because it helps to address issues of food access, promotes economic resilience, and
community building.
Public Comments: Public input has been largely positive. The City conducted an online survey of
public opinion about urban agriculture. The survey found that 93% of the respondents supported
urban agriculture within the city of Sacramento. In addition, the Envision Sacramento Blog explored
public attitudes about urban farming, and found them to be mostly positive.
Commission/Committee Action: On February 10, 2015, the Law and Legislation Committee held a
public hearing on the proposed Urban Agriculture Ordinance and voted to move it forward without a
recommendation. On February 12, 2015, the Planning and Design Commission held a public hearing
on the proposed urban agriculture ordinance, and voted unanimously to forward the staff
recommendation to City Council for adoption.
Rationale for Recommendation: The Urban Agriculture Ordinance is intended to remove regulatory
barriers to economic opportunities related to the production and sale of locally grown foods; improve
public health and well-being and promote community building. The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone
is intended to promote urban agriculture by providing property tax incentives.
Financial Considerations: The Urban Agriculture Ordinance will be implemented by existing staff.
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Ordinance may result in tax revenue losses to the City, County,
school districts and special districts. This revenue loss will be insignificant because the maximum
potential tax revenue loss to the City, County, and special districts combined is capped by the
ordinance at $250,000 over the life of the program. The Citys portion of the combined revenue loss
is not expected to exceed 10% of the total cap amount. Increased staff costs for additional workload
due to both ordinances are unknown at this time.

Background / FAQ
Q:
A:
Community garden, public means public land divided into multiple plots
that are
available to the public for growing and harvesting of fruits,
vegetables, flowers,
fiber, nuts, seeds, or culinary herbs primarily
for the personal use of the growers,
and that is established, operated,
and maintained by the City of Sacramento.
Q:
A:
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Act (AB551) is State legislation that was
approved in September 2013. It enables local governments to create an urban
agriculture incentive zone (UAIZ) whereby the City can enter into contracts with
individual landowners to voluntarily restrict the use of vacant, unimproved, and
5 of 368
How much will the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone save participating
property owners in taxes?
A:
Q:
A:
One study found that community gardens in New York City had significant
positive effects on property values, especially in the poorest neighborhoods. It
found that higher quality gardens had the greatest effect. This was the only
study that we found.
Q:
How does Utilities deal with solid waste on parcels that only have crops?
A:
Section 13.10.210 of the Sacramento City Code requires all owners or tenants of
commercial property in the city where garbage is created, generated,
accumulated, or produced, to subscribe to garbage collection service provided by
an SWA franchisee. Parcels that only have crops and sell produce are
considered commercial and are subject to this requirement.
Q:
Would parcels that only have crops be required to have waste cans or
bins?
A:
Yes, this requirement would likely be met with one 90-gallon garbage can. If
produce is sold, it would be considered a commercial use. Commercial uses
cannot put green waste in the street, since this is a service that is only for
residential customers during leaf season.

Q:
How can urban farmers in residential zones sell their produce off-site?
A:
There are several ways that urban farmers in residential zones can sell their
produce, including but not limited to the following:
With permission from the landowner or manager of an existing paved area
(parking lot, etc.) an urban farmer can set up a community market (see
below).
Sell produce at one of the local certified farmers markets
Sell produce to a local grocery chain or local restaurants
Q:
A:
Q:
Can the City limit the use of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and
fertilizers or require that urban farmers only utilized organic methods?
A:
No, the City cannot regulate chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers,
which are regulated by the State.

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Urban Agriculture Ordinance
Dear Ms. Selph,
The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (The District) thanks the
City of Sacramento for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Urban Agriculture
Ordinance. The District is required by law to represent the citizens of the Sacramento
district in influencing the decisions of other public and private agencies whose actions
may have an adverse impact on air quality within the Sacramento district.1 We offer
our comments in that spirit.
Recognizing that the City must balance many competing interests in determining
appropriate land use within the jurisdiction, the District offers information on the
emission benefits of transitioning traditional landscaping to agricultural uses. The
District hopes that the final ordinance allows and encourages more residents to move
from traditional lawn to more sustainable landscapes and maintenance practices.
Direct Greenhouse Gas Emission by Landscape Type2
An acre of traditional landscaping in the City of Sacramento, maintained for a year,
generates 3,200 pounds of greenhouse gases (measured in carbon dioxide equivalents
or CO2e). These emissions are due to the water-energy cost (pumping and treating
the tap water), mowing, waste hauling, nitrous oxide released from the fertilizer, and
CH4 release from uncaptured landfill methane.
Converting an acre of land from traditional landscaping to a conventionally-grown
vegetable and herb garden with pressure-compensating drip irrigation reduces annual
emissions by 900 pounds CO2e, or 28 percent. Adding on-site composting, a smart
irrigation controller, proper spacing and heavy mulching to the conventional garden
1
2
12 of 368
reduces another 600 pounds CO2e for a total reduction of 47 percent. Finally, replacing
chemical fertilizers with more sustainable options reduces another 500 pounds CO2e for
a total reduction of 59 percent versus a conventional lawn.
Indirect Emissions from Transportation
The proposed ordinance contemplates allowing on-site sales of agriculture products
created on the parcel. To measure the potential trip generation of on-site sales, the
District reviewed transaction records from farm stands operated by Alchemist CDC.
These farm stands operated for three hours per event, once a week with at least 10
different products on offer at each farm stand, usually spread across two to three popup tents. The farm stands also accepted EBT and were marketed to the community.
Due to the diversity of products, size, marketing, and regular hours, District staff
anticipates that trip generation at Alchemist CDC farm stands would be, on average,
higher than at on-site sales sites proposed by the ordinance.
Reviewing data from five stands, the average transactions generated per three hour
session are as follows:
Mean total
transactions
Alkali Flat5
Broderick6
39
39
McClatchy
Park7
78
In reviewing the data with Davida Douglas, the executive director of Alchemist CDC, Ms.
Douglas noted that the urban stands tended to have a higher active transportation
mode share (about 50 percent) while suburban stands tend to have a lower active
transportation mode share (about 20 percent). However, nearly all vehicle trips were
diverted or pass-by, meaning that visiting the farm stand was not the primary purpose
of the trip, but was incidental to the primary trip the visitor was making8. Pass-by trips
generate virtually no additional vehicle miles traveled (modeled at 0.1 VMT per trip)
while diverted trips are modeled to add 25 percent to the length of the primary trip.9
The District does not have enough information to determine if trips to farm stands
would replace other retail or recreational trips that would otherwise happen, or if these
3
13 of 368
would be new trips. However, based on current thresholds, an individual farm stand
would not constitute a significant air quality impact.10
General comments
The District offers this information to assist the City in making informed decisions with
respect to the Urban Agriculture Ordinance. The SMAQMD thanks the City for the
opportunity to comment on this ordinance. If you have additional questions or require
further assistance, please contact me at pphilley@airquality.org or (916) 874-4882.
Sincerely,

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District CEQA Guide December 2009, Revised August
2013. A supermarket land use less than 53,000 square feet would not be considered a significant impact
for criteria air pollutants. A supermarket land use less than 13,000 square feet would not be considered
a significant impact for greenhouse gas emissions.

For over 15 years we have served as a bridge towards, "a new way forward, healing what is hurting our
communities" at local, statewide, national and international opportunities to build positive collaboration.
Can you send a me a copy of staff draft of working version of City of Sacramento Urban Ag Ordinance,

Quick areas to consider, may include: Soil Contamination, Access to Capitol, Food Safety, Product
Traceability and opportunities for "socially disadvantaged urban agriculture producers" with clear paths to
compatible USDA, CDFA opportunities... are often missing from the conversation...
Urban Agriculture can mirror existing Rural Agriculture opportunities and build links to expanded job
creation, career advancement and community economic development within the Urban Service Boundary
in the City of Sacramento and beyond.
Once I am clear on the process, I will reach out to local Latino, Hmong, Native America, Pan African,
Russian and other local stakeholders who continue to play an ongoing roll in Agriculture public policy, a
clear understanding of the path to participation is essential.
Many of us represent leading voices for expanded Urban Agriculture in US Farm Policy and inclusion in the
US Census of Agriculture of 2017.
USDA ~ NASS Regional Director, NASS Statistician and NASS Administrator will be included in the

The Planning Commission will begin the process of allowing urban farm with a hearing this Thursday
night at City Hall. How wonderful that the Planning Commission can move so fast, without input from
city residents. Envision just sent out an email last week...and the Planning Commission is already
moving on this? Once again, it seems the residents do not have input in a timely matter. So in case
the Planning Commission does not care get Envision's input, here is mine. And maybe, if telling you
is the wrong place, could you forward my concerns to the correct place?
There are so many things to consider and take into view:
1. Where is the water coming from to grow these farms? And what will their watering schedule
be? What will be their restrictions?
2. Will only those living in the neighborhood be farming these farms or can anyone from anywhere
start a farm?
3. They can sell? Where? On every street corner? Or sell where they grow? And the rules for
selling? Will these rules pertain to those already selling food on the corners? How will people know if
the food was grown by these vendors or is it stolen?
4. More dust and more dirt in a city already full of bad air. How much more will these farms
produce? Are the mini fields going to be plowed? Or only cultivated by hand?
5. Why is the city focusing on farming? My street needs paved, the parks need help, the city needs
new business...where do these fit in?
6. Is this new focus on farms using tax dollars to fund a staff person? Will the farmers need to pay
for city services or will the general fund do it...and how much will be set aside to pay for farm

services? I truly do not like my tax dollars being spent on someone's farm..no matter where it is,
when city services are not at 100% and my utility bill keeps going up. No tax dollars should be
involved.

Commissioners:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input to the proposal of the Urban Agriculture Ordinance. Please
forward to the commissioners on my behalf as representation from the two PBIDs that I manage: Stockton Blvd
Partnership and Oak Park Business Association.
My perspective of land-banking or other Williamson Act considerations within this proposal noted under Urban
Agriculture Incentive Zones (AB 551) beginning on page 32 of the ordinance language is that it would be in direct
conflict when applied to properties within the established boundaries of our Property and Business Improvement
District. Any imposition placed through ordinance that would limit or prohibit the originally zone purpose in any
way would or at any time, in my opinion, perpetuate existing blighted conditions. The PBID work plans targets
these open vacant lots and identifies them as catalyst sites for economic development. I am speaking to vacant
lots that have historically been zoned commercial OR residential lots within a commercial district/corridor with
potential of development into future residential or mixed use improvements.
I am unable to attend in person. I will be out of town during the scheduled meeting.
My Best,
Terrence Johnson

How, if at all, will this effect the vacant lot designation that we currently rely upon within our assessment
district? With this ordinance change, will the zoning be altered at all? Will we need to address these issues upon
renewal to take into consideration ag use vs commercial vs residential?
Currently a vacant lot within our district is defined as an assessable lot - even if the zoning is residential. When
the lot is developed into a residence, then the assessment is no longer valid. We take advantage of these lots
1
24 of 368
being undeveloped because they tend to be problematic and blighted and a source of more focus energy ... I would
not encourage any exemption to the PBID law (ie religious deferral etc. )
If there is no zoning change, then we don't need to consider it. OPBA is renewing in 2015 and we should mindful of
this activity.

Please make sure you also exempt food crops and food-producing trees from
residential water restrictions and reduce rates for water used on food crops or to water
livestock or for community gardens. Please also stop fining anyone who wants to put a
vegetable garden in instead of grass, and allow those whose properties who have
easements to plant crops there as long as there are no permanent structures that
prevent access to the easement.

Dear Helen:
Washington Capital Management, Inc. is the Investment Manager for the real estate
holdings of U.A. Local No. 447 Pension Plan, which owns 97 acres of vacant land
adjacent to the south side of Elder Creek Road and the west side of South Watt Avenue,
within the City of Sacramento.
The subject property has been owned by the Pension Plan for 25 years, and has never
been developed. The site is accessible from Elder Creek Road, South Watt Avenue, and
Morrison Creek Drive. The topography is flat. Other than power lines crossing the site,
there are no improvements, permanent vegetation or wetlands. The site is zoned for
Light Industrial use, and agricultural uses are not allowed in this zoning.
In September of 2013, the State of California passed the Urban Agriculture Incentive
Zones Act, which would allow cities to enter into contracts with landowners to restrict
the use of vacant lands in urban areas to small-scale agricultural production for periods of
no less than five years. In exchange, the land would be assessed for property tax
purposes at the average per-acre value of irrigated cropland in California.
We understand that the City of Sacramento does not currently have a way to implement
the Urban Agriculture Incentives Zones Act. Given that any contracts under the Act need
to be in place no later than January 1, 2019, there is less than five years remaining to
achieve the goals of the legislation.
We encourage the City of Sacramento to move forward as quickly as possible in putting
in place the zoning or regulations that will allow for urban agriculture zones. As stated in
the Citys Sustainable Sacramento web site: It is vitally important to promote and create
Sacramento communities that offer diverse range of uses of existing land, buildings, and
spaces, while also meeting the needs of our community. The owner of the subject
property would be interested in entering into a contract that would both allow agricultural
uses on the subject property and restrict the use of the subject property to agricultural
uses, for a period of up to five years.

Memorandum
To: Matt Read, Sacramentans for Sustainable Community Agriculture
From: Heather Wooten, ChangeLab Solutions
Subject: On-site urban agriculture sales in South Sacramento
Date: 27 February 2015
BACKGROUND
Within California and across the country, an increasing number of jurisdictions are allowing for on-site
sales of produce grown through urban agriculture initiatives. These initiatives include home gardens,
community and school gardens, and urban farms. Because many of these sites are in residential areas,
there is concern among some that the retail activities create problems with noise, traffic, or other
nuisances.
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide Sacramento BHC with information about the state of
practice for on-site urban agriculture sales. It provides an overview of the experience of eleven (11)
jurisdictions where on-site urban agriculture sales are legal, highlighting successes, challenges, and
lessons learned. The memo concludes with a glimpse into community benefits made possible by allowing
on-site urban agriculture sales.
What kind of feedback have you received from the community about on-site sales?
What kind of feedback have you received from growers about on-site sales?
Have you received any complaints about urban ag sales?
Did any issues or problems arise that have already been resolved?
Telephone and listserv requests for feedback from areas where on-site urban agriculture sales are legal
yielded input from planners, code enforcement officers, non-profit garden managers, and farm operators.
They worked in cities of all sizes, in all regions of the country.
ChangeLab Solutions is a nonprofit organization that provides legal information on matters relating to public health.
The legal information in this document does not constitute legal advice or legal representation. For legal advice,
readers should consult a lawyer in their state.

Respondent cities
The locations and roles of those who provided input include the following:
Findings also include information from a sampling of California jurisdictions that allow on -site urban
agriculture sales.
FINDINGS
No complaints
Despite this wide variation in circumstances, none reported that there had been complaints of any kind
from neighbors about on-site sales. On the contrary, several reported that their neighbors were happy to
find another source of fresh produce. Only one jurisdiction Austin, TX reported any community
resistance during the process of amending the municipal code to allow on -site urban agriculture sales. By
finding an acceptable compromise that allowed urban agriculture sales but preserved the character of a
historic residential community, the City of Austin was able to resolve this issue and has not since had any
complaints related to on-site sales.
State of practice
Most respondents cities had made significant changes to their laws governing agriculture within the past
five years. Some cities overhauled many zoning ordinances and permitting requirements related to urban
agriculture all at once and included provisions for sales in this suite of changes. San Francisco is one
example of this: the Urban Agriculture Zoning Ordinance allows food -growing projects on less than one
acre to be established in any zone in the city. Projects larger than one acre, designated as large -scale
urban agriculture, are allowed in industrial areas, and by permit elsewhere. The ordinance allows sales at
all types of urban agriculture sites.1 A Senior Planner in the citys Planning Department said there have
been no known complaints regarding on-site produce sales since this ordinance passed.
Other cities expanded urban agriculture first and then, later, made changes to allow o n-site agricultural
sales in residential areas. A Senior Environmental Planner in Fort Collins, CO remarked that home garden
sales had previously been allowed:
We did change the code [to allow market gardens/farm stands in residential areas], but
sales from produce grown at your home or even for business purposes has always been
changelabsolutions.org
2
34 of 368
allowed. Now, if a license is required, we just need sales to be located on a site plan,
but no complaints in either the broader context or from more formal operations. People
love the sales/farm stands!
There is no unified set of best practices governing on-site urban agriculture sales. It is difficult to know
which regulations may be useful and which are burdensome because they have all been implemented
relatively recently. However, several common themes arose in the responses received.
Garden-grown produce
Several cities ordinances contain provisions to limit sales to produce. Many cities and states, including
California,2 have fewer regulatory requirements for selling fresh, uncut produce than for the sale of other
goods. As such, it is important for these jurisdictions to ensure other products are not being sold under
agricultural provisions. Saint Paul, MN limits sales to food and horticultur al goods grown on the site. 3
Asheville, NCs municipal code stipulates that goods sold at seasonal farm stands must be grown on the
property or made from goods grown there. 4 In Cleveland, OH, the produce must be grown on the
property or within 1000 feet of the property, with an allowance for prepared food to be made off -site, so
long as the principal ingredients are grown or produced on the growers property. 5
Other jurisdictions have given community gardens more leeway. In Salt Lake City, UT, any locally grown
products may be sold if they are generally associated with a community garden. 6 Similarly, Portland,
MEs provisions for community gardens managed by non -profits allows growers to sell produce from
other local gardens:
If the community garden is owned or operated by a non-profit organization, sales of
flowers, vegetables, herbs or fruit produced in other gardens or farms in Maine owned
or operated by said organization shall be permitted within the same limitations listed
above.7
In an effort to ensure that only fresh, local produce is sold at urban agriculture sites, some jurisdictions
stipulate that farm stands must be seasonal in nature. In Asheville and Salt Lake City, a farm stand must
be a seasonal, temporary use. 8,9 In Portland, farm stands may sell produce during the growing season
from May 25 through October 31.10
changelabsolutions.org

35 of 368
Most places allow farm stands in all zones where urban agriculture is permitted, including residential
zones. Some, like Portland, allow a properly permitted farm stand to stay in place year -round.16 Others,
like Cleveland, require that the stand be removed when the on-site sales season is over.
The exception to this rule is Austin. A former city planner at the City of Austin, recounted the story of
how she and other planners balanced conflicting community interests when Austin was preparing to allow
on-site produce sales in residential neighborhoods:
During the code update process, the community was split. Some, primarily MexicanAmerican historic residents of East Austin, protested the creation of the market garden
use and legalization of sales, claiming that it represented the commercialization of
residential neighborhoods. These community members feared that market gardens
would open the floodgates to the destruction of the single-family character of East
Austin. They requested that we enact a moratorium on new urban farms, set a limit on
urban farm sales for existing urban farms 1-5 acres in size, and not create the new use
of market gardens or legalize any sales on sites less than 1 acre in size.
Others, primarily white and newer residents, were strongly in favor of the update,
saying that it represented progressive community change, neighborliness, supports
local commerce, and is in alignment with a new Texas cottage industry law that allows
for people to sell value-added food products from their home, provided they gross less
than $50k/year doing so. Allowing for vegetable sales allows folks to sell "not just the
pickle, but also the cucumber," as one local food proponent quipped.
We did want to respect and protect neighborhood character, so we aligned our
recommendation with an existing home business ordinance, and set a limit of 3 salesrelated car trips per day to market gardens. They cannot have a farm stand, and must
conduct business out of sight
The code passed in November 2013. I checked with my contacts in Austin, who reported
that there have been no complaints or calls about market gardens or on-site sales in
general--thankfully!
Hours of operation
Noise occasionally comes up in municipal codes with regard to agricultural activities, but by limiting the
hours on-site sales can occur seems like the most common way of preventing complaints. Some cities,
like San Francisco, 17 Saint Paul,18 and Portland,19 set specific hours for sales. These hours tend to be
approximately dawn to dusk. In Asheville, 20 gardeners and farmers propose hours of operation for their
agricultural activities in their Site and Operations Plan.
In addition to or instead of limiting the hours on-site sales can take place, some cities limit the number
of times per week sales can occur. Portland limits on-site sales to two days per week. 21 San Diego, CA
limits community gardens in residential areas to once-a-week sales; gardens in industrial or commercial
zones do not have this limitation. 22 Saint Paul sets different limits on frequency of on-site sales in
residential districts based on lot size: gardens of at least one acre may have on-site sales twice per week,
while sales at smaller lots are limited to three times per year. 23
Other areas do not specify when sales may take place. For example, market stands may be open up to
seven days a week in Asheville. 24 Philadelphia allows for incidental sales at community gardens but
does not specify what frequency that term implies. 25 Despite the somewhat vague definition, the Director
changelabsolutions.org
4
36 of 368
of the Garden Justice Legal Initiative at the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP) said,
Its not an issue that Ive seen come up since implementation.
At the other end of the spectrum, Arizona has none of these regulations. Rather, it has a statute that
expressly prohibits restrictions on sales by food producers:
The producers of food products on agricultural lands, farms and gardens shall never
under any pretext be denied or restricted the right to sell and dispose of their products,
except in the manner and to the extent provided in this article, and subject to inspection
by lawful authority when the inspection is uniform as to the same product and without
cost to the producer.26
A Food Systems Coordinator at Maricopa County Department of Public Health in Arizona, had this to say
about why she thought people had not complained (to her knowledge) about on -site sales of gardengrown produce in residential areas:
I do not think the general public would be particularly aware of the laws, but I do
think that whatever good neighbor outreach that community gardens and backyard
growers do to make friends with their neighbors could include some kind of potluck on
site, garden tours or other ways to demystify what is going on in the garden, so that
when the street is full of cars for produce sales (hopefully)! the neighbors take some
pride in what is going on, rather than create complaints. Many neighborhoods have
garage sales, or sports activities/events at the schools that fill the streets with cars on a
regular basis and nobody bats an eye.
Opportunities
While certain requirements may be worthwhile to include in a provision allowing on -site urban
agricultural sales depending on the needs of the community, it bears repeating that no one responded that
they had received complaints regarding on-site agricultural sales. Several respondents did note that while
they had received plenty of community feedback, it had been uniformly positive:
I am not aware of any complaints regarding us selling produce on-site; in fact I think
we're received the opposite reaction from our neighbors who are thankful they don't
have to go far to buy produce!
Co-Owner and Sales Manager at Ripe City Urban Farm, Tallahassee, FL
As the nonprofit organization running the stands, we've received a lot of positive
feedback from customers, but I'm not entirely sure that the community has connected
the presence of the farm stands with any action or decision that the City made.
Manager of Food Access Programs at Cultivating Community
The responses yielded two concrete examples of community benefits derived from expanded on -site
agriculture sales. In Portland, on-site sales provided a two-fold benefit: an opportunity for youth
development, and enhanced food security for residents in need:
Our urban ag site was right next to one of our community gardens. This site was used
to teach youth how to grow food that was then delivered to seniors living in low income
housing.

Conclusion
Allowing participants in urban agriculture projects to sell their produce on -site does not appear to be
connected to any discernible increase in complaints by neighbors. Community support of on-site sales
seems strong based on the stories collected to inform this memo. Sales of home- or garden-grown produce
are part of the fabric of many types of communities across the country. Some cities see them as a
promising opportunity for economic development. While the needs of local residents should always be
assessed before crafting legislation, on this issue, the community benefits reported outweigh any
perceived drawbacks.

SECTION 1.
Chapter 17.722 is added to the Sacramento City Code to read as follows:
Chapter 17.722
17.722.010
Purpose.
This chapter is adopted in accordance with the Urban Agricultural Incentive Zones
Act (California Government Code section 51040 et seq.) to promote urban
agricultural use of otherwise vacant, unimproved, and blighted parcels by providing a
tax-incentive for properties that produce food and agricultural products.
The city recognizes that urban agriculture improves community access to healthy
food, helps create a more sustainable food system, builds community, and connects
people to the land. Increased opportunity to participate in small-scale entrepreneurial
agriculture will supplement incomes and help to create a more resilient economy.
Lack of access to land is a major obstacle for urban agriculture. By creating an Urban
Agriculture Incentive Zone, the city seeks to encourage owners of eligible property to
commit the property to urban agriculture for at least five years, giving urban
agriculturalists access and stability.
17.722.020
General provisions.
A.
The Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone includes all eligible property within
the city boundary.
B.
The city and owners of vacant, unimproved, or blighted property within the

C.
The city may impose a fee upon contracting property owners for the
reasonable costs of implementing and administering the contracts.

at any time by submitting written notice to the planning director. Upon
cancellation of the contract prior to the expiration of its term, the property
owner shall record a notice of cancellation of the contract against the
property.
C.
17.722.050

360 of 368
The city shall not enter into a new contract or renew an existing contract after
January 1, 2019, unless the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act is amended to
