THE WEST SACRAMENTO RIVERFRONT
Three Distinct Districts: Compact, Connected and Collaborative
West Sacramentos extensive waterfront investment and planning has set the stage for
redevelopment of three connected, but very distinct riverfront districts. From north to
south, these are the Washington District, the Bridge District (the proposed site), and
Pioneer Bluff (see figure 1 map/aerial showing TBD, Washington, Pioneer Bluff). Since
incorporation in 1987, West Sacramento community leaders have invested considerable
energy and capital to reclaim and revitalize its downtown riverfront into connected and
sustainable mixed-use neighborhoods.
Development Capacity Residential Units
Bridge District 4.8 million sf 3,600
Washington District 2.8 million sf 3,300
Pioneer Bluff 4.1 million sf 3,200
Total 11.7 million sf 10,100
The Bridge District

The first riverfront area, and the proposed site for Amazon HQ2, is the Bridge District
(TBD), named for its location between the iconic Tower Bridge and Capital City
Freeways Pioneer Bridge. TBD is designed and engineered as a dense, mixed use,
urban scale walkable neighborhood served by transit and connected with tree lined
bicycle and pedestrian paths. Green building features include an urban street grid of
smaller block sizes with enhanced pedestrian amenities including wayfinding art,
reduced parking standards, concrete streets to reduce heat islands, publicly funded,
shared public parking facilities and an innovative stormwater system that infiltrates
directly to groundwater. The transit oriented development pattern, transit service and
proximity to major jobs centers, retail and entertainment facilitates bicycle, pedestrian
and streetcar modes of travel. The defining feature of TBD is its mile long River Walk
park with the BARN venue, Mill Street Pier and public art. River Walk Park is is being
developed as a day and night destination flanked by retail, restaurants and
entertainment.
Riverfront trails and scenic views are a short walk from office or home. Two
entertainment centers offer festivals, sporting events and concerts. Raley Field, home of
the Sacramento River Cats, the AAA-affiliate of the San Francisco Giants; and the Barn,
a regional landmark event center anchored by Drakes Brewing Company. Over 1,000
new homes have been built surrounding Garden Park. All development entitlements and
environmental studies have been completed. The Bridge District is poised for immediate
construction of the initial phases of Amazon HQ2 and fully-entitled for up to 8 million
square feet of office and commercial uses. The Bridge District is truly shovel-ready for
immediate construction and proposed site for the first few phases of HQ2. Detailed
information for this proposed site follows.
The Washington District
Immediately north, is the Washington District, the Citys historic neighborhood where
turn-of-the-century Victorians and bungalows blend with new townhomes, restaurants
and retail uses. In 2013, the City Council adopted the Washington Sustainable
Community Strategy, a blueprint for compact, walkable and transit-oriented
development, weaving together historic homes and neighborhood centers with new
homes, offices and retail. Two existing Class A office buildings on the banks of the
Sacramento River house the California Department of General Services and the
California Teachers Retirement System. The area has about 100 acres of land for
another 2.8 million sf. of office and commercial uses, and 3,300 new homes. An
existing, 1,500-home neighborhood, the Rivers, offers newer housing a few minutes to
the north. The Washington neighborhood is connected to downtown Sacramento and
the Downtown Railyards development by the historic I Street Bridge over the
Sacramento River. A new wider, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly bridge replacement is in
final design with construction to begin in 2018 and completion by 2020. The Downtown
Riverfront Streetcar will travel through this district, along 3rd Street to the new bridge,
while the existing two-level bridge will continue to serve passenger rail (Amtrak Capital
Corridor) on the lower track. The existing upper bridge span is being studied for
exclusive pedestrian and bicycle recreational use, strengthening linkages between West
Sacramento, downtown Sacramento and the Sacramento Railyards.
Pioneer Bluff
AMAZON 11
Pioneer Bluff is the third riverfront planning area that the City is preparing to convert
from industrial to waterfront mixed uses. The Pioneer Bluff Transition Plan contemplates
redevelopment of close to 86 acres for up to 3,200 homes, and 4.1 million sf. of offices
and commercial/retail use. As a future redevelopment area, Pioneer Bluff could
accommodate Amazons future expansion from 2027 and beyond. The Washington
District can accommodate additional HQ2 expansion in the near term, while Pioneer
Bluff would have additional capacity beyond 2027.
Property information for the Bridge District, the Citys proposed HQ2 site, follows this
introduction.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BRIDGE DISTRICT
Prominent Riverfront Location

The Bridge District comprises more than one mile of river frontage, commanding sweeping
views of the Sacramento River and City skyline. Riverfront activation is built into the Specific
Plan for the district and creates a strong sense of place as both sides of the river expand and
grow into usable public spaces. A trail exists along the riverfront allowing walkers, bikers and
runners to enjoy nature and wildlife along the riverfront. Three public art projects are currently
being installed along the river, while more public art is planned for the future of the area.
Shovel Ready Location

The Bridge District is fully zoned and entitled for 12 million square feet of commercial
development. New development may proceed as a matter of right without further environmental
or government review.
Existing Infrastructure
The Bridge District has invested over $100 million to fully construct all necessary infrastructure
for the development of the first 9.6 million square feet of development. Water, wastewater,
stormwater drainage, gas, electricity and fiber optic and telecom infrastructure is in place to
proposed sites.
Connectivity
City owned telecommunications facilities in all the Right of Way in TBD provides first in class
fiber connectivity including neutral last mile. Extensive broadband conduit and active fiber
networks are present. The District has existing 2 conduit pair and 4 pair runs. WAVE and
Consolidated Communications offer Industrial class fiber optic broadband service. The City
owns a 1.25 conduit with proximity to a Verizon data center, a Level III data center. The
Districts conduit and proximity to long haul, intercity routes provides the ability to develop IT
systems with superior performance and resilience of redundant architectures that can scale with
business needs.
Dedicated Financial Increment

The Bridge District is governed by a development agreement and Specific Plan that requires
future tax increment to be used for the development of new parks, riverfront amenities and
recreational facilities within the district.
Excellent Freeway Access, Visibility and Street Car Access, Transit And Mobility
The Bridge District is adjacent to Interstate 80/U.S. 50, with freeway on and off ramps easily
accessible to all areas of the district. West Sacramentos location on the western edge of
Sacramento offers quick access to the San Francisco Bay Area. Interstate Highways 5, 80, and
U.S. 50 and 99 all converge in West Sacramento. The site is served by the Tower Bridge, a
Sacramento landmark, which provides quick and convenient access to the State Capitol,
downtown Sacramento and Old Sacramento. The Downtown Riverfront Street Car has been
fully funded and has been awarded for the construction of a riverfront street car system
connecting TBD to the major employment and activity nodes in the downtown, including Golden
1 Center, the State Capitol and the Union Pacific railway station. Service is scheduled to begin
in 2021. Sacramento Regional Transit and YoloBus both provide convenient daily
service.
Cornerstone of Emerging Smart Growth Community.

The development of TBD is guided by principals of smart growth, which encourage a mixture
of land uses that encourage people to live, work and play in the same neighborhood.
Significant Amenities
The Bridge District is located on the riverfront parkway within close (walkable) proximity to the
downtown core, the Golden 1 Center, Crocker Museum and Midtown Sacramento.
Strong Public Support

The Bridge District is a City Council focus area and City staff at all levels will provide Amazon
the highest level of customer service. West Sacramento is consistently ranked as one of the
most business-friendly development services departments in Northern California. The City will
deliver building permits for Phase I construction within 90-days of building permit application.
Highly Capable Project Team

The Fulcrum Property team is comprised of a group of highly experienced individual, each
bringing years of experience and a range of skillsets to the table. Their portfolio includes some
of the most significant projects in our region, including the master plan and development of the
Golden 1 Center Arena. Their team delivers architecturally distinctive projects that influence the
way people work, shop, and live. They anchor their properties in sustainable design principles
that bring aesthetic, social, and economic value to the tenants and communities they serve.
Strong Incentive Opportunities
AMAZON 13
The proposed Amazon HQ2 site in the Bridge District features a flexible and beneficial incentive
package that has already been approved by the West Sacramento City Council, including tax
increment financing and development streamlining.
The City will finance any new public infrastructure, structured parking, parks, trails, and public
art needed to support the HQ2 project through an existing tax increment financing district
New construction is exempt from development impact fees
Only a building permit is needed to begin construction
Building permit fees may be deferred until final occupancy
Downtown Riverfront Streetcar transit with direct service to the HQ2 site will be operational by
2021
A tax increment financing (TIF) district has already been established by the City to benefit
development in the Bridge District. The City can invest up to 38% of the incremental property
tax generated by HQ2 and other projects for structured parking, streets, sidewalks, utilities,
transit, bicycle and pedestrian trails, parks and public art. The TIF is guaranteed to be available
to finance these improvements through approved Development Agreements with land owners.
Specific improvements for HQ2 to be financed with TIF, such as parking structures, can be
proposed for approval by the West Sacramento City Council following Amazons selection of
West Sacramentos Bridge District for further consideration.
Calculation of Annual TI:

Phase I 1 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $1,140,000
Phase II 2 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $2,280,000
Phase III 3 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $3,420,000
Phase IV 2 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $2,280,000
Total Annual TI: $9,120,000
Incentive Timetable
The TIF district is already in place for the Bridge District. Financing commitments for specific
HQ2 improvements would be made by the City Council following the identification of those
improvements by Amazon, which could be accomplished in advance of the initial phase of HQ2.
The TIF commitment to those improvements could include up to 100 percent of the cost, and
could be structured as direct TIF investment by the City or as annual TIF reimbursements to
Amazon for at least 20 years

Transportation Overview
The Bridge District

Proximity to major highways and arterial roads:
Major roadway construction has already been completed within the Bridge District,
including bike lanes and pedestrian facilities, and connecting the site with West
Sacramentos downtown core and the Tower Bridge to downtown Sacramento
West Sacramentos Bridge District is within a half-mile of Interstate 80 West to the
Bay Area, and connects within a half-mile to the east to Interstate 5 (Southern
California to Washington), State Route 99 (Sacramento Valley to Bakersfield), and
U.S. 50 (Sacramento to the East Coast).
Driving time to Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose via Interstate 80 is generally
under two hours except in peak commute periods.
Proximity to the international airport:
Driving time between the Bridge District and Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
is about 15 minutes (off-peak) and 25 minutes (peak). Yolobus also offers bus service
(about a 30-minute ride) between the Bridge District and the airport.
SMF offers over 150 nonstop flights daily to cities across the US and abroad. Among
nonstop locations are Seattle (2 hours); New York (5 hours); San Francisco (1 hour);
and Washington D.C. (5 hours). In September 2017, J.D. Powers named SMF as the
mid-size airport with the highest customer service rating in the U.S.
Proximity to Rail Service:

Frequent bus service, Uber, Lyft and taxi service link the Bridge District to the
Sacramento Valley Intermodal Station and Capitol Corridor train service between the
Sacramento region and Bay Area. The 15 daily round trips available today are
expected to expand over time.
Travel on the Capitol Corridor, offering comfortable seats, wifi, work tables, and
views of the San Francisco Bay, is competitive with driving, especially during peak
hours. Trains take an hour and 25 minutes between the Intermodal station and
Richmond, with on-site connections to BART service throughout the Bay Area; 1 hour
38 minutes to Emeryville, offering immediate bus connections to downtown San
Francisco; and 1 hour 50 minutes to Oakland.
Employee Transportation Options
AMAZON 25
There is frequent intercity bus service between Woodland, Davis, West Sacramento
and Sacramento. A regular downtown shuttle also connects the West Sacramento
and Sacramento cores across the river. A new streetcar is anticipated to open for
service by 2020 with stops in West Sacramento, downtown Sacramento, midtown
Sacramento, including at the Intermodal and downtown light rail stations. Light rail
users from throughout the region can directly bicycle or walk over the Tower Bridge
to/from the Bridge District from light rail stations located about a mile away.
West Sacramento recently undertook a demonstration of an autonomous shuttle
that could provide service within the Bridge District.
In 2018, the City will pilot an on-demand microtransit service that will serve the entire
city, including the Bridge District.
Currently 10% of trips into West Sacramento are made by walking, biking and transit.
Bikes are allowed on bus bicycle racks and on Capitol Corridor and light rail trains,
providing first mile/last mile connections to the Bridge District and West
Sacramentos existing and planned network of bicycle facilities. The new Bikeshare
system provides even greater access within West Sacramento and across the river
to Sacramento. 1 Sacramento Area Council of Governments
The City is beginning to convert existing on-street bike lanes to protected bike lanes,
and constructing additional trail connections along the riverfront.
The four major highways that converge near West Sacramento provide convenient
access for employees driving from areas throughout the region.
Two projects to replace and improve the existing I Street Bridge and create a new
Broadway Bridge are planned across the Sacramento River, providing additional
driving, transit, bicycle and pedestrian access to and from the Bridge District.
Waze is currently providing on-demand ride-matching in the region. An expanding
carpool and bus lane network on the major highways will also improve travel time for
commuters choosing to rideshare or use transit.
The Yolo Transportation Management Association (TMA) offers an Emergency Ride
Home Program, vanpool and rideshare matching, and other assistance for member
employers seeking to provide transportation information and benefits to their
employees.
Bike and pedestrian access available.

Approved Local Incentives
The proposed Amazon HQ2 site in the Bridge District features a flexible and beneficial
incentive package that has already been approved by the West Sacramento City Council,
including tax increment financing and development streamlining.
The City will finance any new public infrastructure, structured parking, parks, trails,
and public art needed to support the HQ2 project through an existing tax increment
financing district
New construction is exempt from development impact fees
Only a building permit is needed to begin construction
Building permit fees may be deferred until final occupancy
Downtown Riverfront Streetcar transit with direct service to the HQ2 site will be
operational by 2021
A tax increment financing (TIF) district has already been established by the City to benefit
development in the Bridge District. The City can invest up to 38% of the incremental
property tax generated by HQ2 and other projects for structured parking, streets,
sidewalks, utilities, transit, bicycle and pedestrian trails, parks and public art. The TIF is
guaranteed to be available to finance these improvements through approved
Development Agreements with land owners. Specific improvements for HQ2 to be
financed with TIF, such as parking structures, can be proposed for approval by the West
Sacramento City Council following Amazons selection of West Sacramentos Bridge
District for further consideration.
Calculation of Annual TI:

Phase I 1 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $1,140,000
Phase II 2 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $2,280,000
Phase III 3 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $3,420,000
Phase IV 2 million sf. @ $300 psf. = $2,280,000
Total Annual TI: $9,120,000
Incentive Timetable
The TIF district is already in place for the Bridge District. Financing commitments for
specific HQ2 improvements would be made by the City Council following the identification
of those improvements by Amazon, which could be accomplished in advance of the initial
phase of HQ2. The TIF commitment to those improvements could include up to 100
percent of the cost, and could be structured as direct TIF investment by the City or as
annual TIF reimbursements to Amazon for at least 20 years.

To Whom It May Concern,
Subject: Amazon HQ2 RFP Response
As the owners and master developers, it is with great excitement that Downtown
Railyard Venture (DRV) submits The Railyards as a unique and viable site for the
Amazon HQ2 facility. We are confident that the project will meet and exceed all of
the requisite criteria laid out in the RFP.
Our proposal reflects an initial phase urban campus opportunity of 5 million square
feet situated on 20 acres in the urban core of downtown Sacramento. That initial
campus sits adjacent to the Interstate 5 Freeway, and wraps around the Central
Shops Historical District and the Intermodal transit hub in The Railyards. Future
phases of the campus can be provided by the adjacent parcels in the DRV project,
or additional development in and around the intermodal transit hub. The entire
Amazon HQ2 proposed campus is connected by dedicated pedestrian and bicycle
routes through the entire site that connect seamlessly to the regional grid. The
Railyards also provides extensive housing opportunities, and is in close proximity to
additional housing and commercial development opportunities in The Bridge District
across the Sacramento River, providing an excellent opportunity to tie the
development into the Sacramento Riverfront.
During the week, an Amazon employee will wake up from his residence in The
Railyards, grab a coffee in the Central Shops and take the Amtrak train to meet
clients or co-workers in the Bay Area for 9AM meeting and be back for afternoon
meetings at the Amazon HQ2. On a Saturday that same person could take a 50 mile
round trip bike ride along the American River bike trail and then walk to a Major
League Soccer game in The Railyards, or a basketball game or concert at the newly
completed Golden One Center. The Railyards offers unparalleled connectivity and
urban amenities for innovative employers and employees.
With The Railyards entitlements complete, DRV and the City of Sacramento can
deliver the Phase I buildings (up to 500K square feet) by 2019. The City of
Sacramento is committed to working with DRV and Amazon to make sure that this
tight deadline will be made a reality.

Denton Kelley

THE RAILYARDS: PROJECT SUMMARY

The Railyards is a 244 acre urban infill project located in the heart of
downtown Sacramento. The Railyards will double the size of Sacramentos
central business district. As one of the largest urban infill projects in the
nation, the scale and location provide the opportunity to redefine the
Sacramento regions urban core environment and lifestyle. The project has
achieved some recent major successes with two major catalytic anchors:
a Kaiser Hospital Campus and a Major League Soccer Stadium. The site
represents an ideal and unique opportunity for Amazon to establish an iconic
presence in downtown Sacramento adjacent to the regions public transit hub
(intermodal station) and the Sacramento Riverfront. With 10,000 housing
units entitled in The Railyards, it is possible for 20% or more of Amazons
workforce to live within walking distance in The Railyards.
The site once served as the western terminus of the Transcontinental

Railroad. At the time, it was a hub of innovation, entrepreneurship and
technology, and was the largest employment center in the region. That
historic era is represented by the Central Shops Historic District, which
serves as the foundational cultural amenity of the project. Amazons HQ2
represents a rare opportunity for history to come full circle in The Railyards,
as a primary regional employment center and once again a center of
innovation, entrepreneurship and technology.
The Railyards will integrate all the elements that are attractive to a
modern and healthy urban lifestyle, including proximity to public transit,
comprehensive bike and pedestrian networks, employment centers and
dynamic recreation and entertainment opportunities. The Railyards is a unique
urban development opportunity that has the ability to generate tremendous
economic development impacts for the entire Northern California region.
Entitlements
The project is fully entitled for 1,100 hotel keys, 10,000 residential units,
5M square feet of commercial, 1.2M square foot medical office and hospital
campus (Kaiser Hospital) and a 22,000 seat capacity Major League Soccer
(MLS) stadium. All CEQA, City and other requisite agency approvals were
obtained in November of 2016. The project is broadly zoned for C3 with a
Central Business District General Plan designation. This zoning allows for
unlimited height restrictions throughout most of the project and a broad mix
of urban uses.
Timing
Work has commenced on the MLS stadium and it is anticipated to be complete
and open by March of 2020. Kaisers anticipated opening is fall of 2023. The
Kaiser Hospital campus will be comprised of 350-400 hospital beds and
300K square feet of outpatient medical office buildings. Kaiser anticipates
having 2,500 employees at this campus once complete. The first mixed use
residential project (276 units) is currently being designed and construction
will commence in the spring of 2019.
Innovation District
Central to The Railyards vision, is the Innovation District. This district is
envisioned as a host of different tech and innovation employers, education
centers and creative offices and incubators. The Innovation Districts urban
plan is ideal for a corporate tech tenant who is looking to establish a
headquarters or large footprint in a vibrant, urban location.
The Innovation District has been purposefully designed with larger urban
parcels (3-4 acres) to accommodate the modern facility needs of technology
and innovation oriented employers. This unique master plan design allows
for large floor plate office buildings (30-50K square feet) while preserving
the urban pedestrian experience with dedicated pedestrian realms that are
activated by street level restaurant and retail programming.
Fiber and Tech Infrastructure

The Railyards also has the benefit of tremendous fiber bandwidth capacity.
With over 15 Class I fiber providers transecting the project, there are
few urban locations in the country that rival this fiber infrastructure. The
Railyards vision is to leverage this existing fiber infrastructure into a unique
value proposition for tech and innovation users. By providing ample empty
fiber conduit in all the roads, The Railyards can offer a neutral last mile fiber
solution for all Railyards tenants. This neutral last mile would aggregate
at a Railyards Point of Presence (PoP) that would aggregate a number of
the existing Class I providers to provide the necessary backhaul services.
It is worth noting that with Sacramentos location between San Francisco
(tech employer hub) and Reno (major data center hub for Google, Apple
and Switch), the fiber latency performance to either of these markets from
Sacramento is under .08 milliseconds. This infrastructure adjacency in The
Railyards would accommodate a completely virtualized innovation campus
with all systems located in the Cloud that has no perceptible degradation
of performance.
History
Located on the north side of Downtown and along the Sacramento River,
the site once served as the western terminus of the 1860s Transcontinental
Railroad. The 244-acre historic Union Pacific Railyards was the largest
employer in Sacramento and was a fully vertically integrated industrial city
where all components of the steam engine and rail cars were produced and
assembled on site. It is considered one of the most important historical sites
to the American railroad industry. It was the center of railroad innovation for
the 19th Century. What remains of that era are the Central Shops Historic
District the foundational cultural amenity of the project.
AMAZON 39
Central Shops Historic District
The Central Shops Historic District is comprised of over 400K square feet of
19th century masonry industrial buildings. These majestic historical buildings
represent the cultural remains of the projects rich railroading history. The vision
for the Central Shops is an urban chic adaptive reuse of these building into a
mixed use district of retail, restaurants and creative office space. The Central
Shops will have generous amounts of urban public space that can accommodate
farmers markets, cultural festivals and outdoor communal seating areas. The
Central Shops will be the cultural gathering place and entertainment anchor for
the entire Railyards project.
Transportation
The Railyards is located at the confluence of all the modes of public transportation
(Light Rail, Streetcar and Amtrak) that service the Sacramento region. The
Amtrak Capitol Corridor passenger platform is located within The Railyards. This
Amtrak line provides a direct connection into the Bay Area. With over 1.1 million
annual visitors to the Amtrak Sacramento Valley Station (which is projected to
increase to over 15 million by 2030 with 80 high speed trains per day), it is the
seventh busiest Amtrak station and corridor in the country.
Interstate 5 is the main highway access for The Railyards. Interstate 5 runs
through The Railyards and generates 194,000 vehicle trips per day for great
corporate visibility. There are three interchanges (Richards Blvd., I St. and J St.)
that serve as the major vehicular access points for The Railyards.

The Railyards
Major roadway construction has already been completed within the Railyards site,
including bike lanes and pedestrian facilities, connecting the site with Sacramentos
existing downtown area.
The Railyards is within a half-mile of the interstate system, and located near the
convergence of four major U.S. highways: Interstate 5 (Southern California to
Washington), State Route 99 (Sacramento Valley to Bakersfield), Interstate 80 (Bay
Area to Tahoe), and U.S. 50 (Sacramento to the East Coast).
Driving time to Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose via the interstate system is
generally under two hours except in peak commute periods.
Planned interchange improvements in the Downtown area will further improve
access to the highway system.
A rebuilt Sacramento River bridge to the Railyards and new bridges across the
American River at Truxel and the Sacramento River at Broadway will strengthen
connectivity between downtown Sacramento and the West Sacramento riverfront.
Driving time between the Railyards and Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is
about 10 minutes (off-peak) and 20 minutes (peak).
In September 2017, JD Powers named SMF as the mid-size airport with the highest
customer service rating in the U.S. SMF offers over 150 nonstop flights daily to cities
across the US and abroad. Among nonstop locations are Seattle (2 hours); New York
(5 hours); San Francisco (1 hour); and Washington D.C. (5 hours).
A future expansion of Sacramentos light rail service is anticipated to provide a direct
connection to the international airport. In the meantime, there is 15-minute direct bus
service between downtown Sacramento and the airport.
Proximity to Rail Service:

The Railyards is adjacent to the Sacramento Valley Intermodal Station, the 2nd
busiest Amtrak Station in California and 7th busiest in the United States.
The Capitol Corridor between the Sacramento region and Bay Area is the fourth
most traveled route in the entire Amtrak system. The 15 daily round trips available
today are expected to increase over time.
AMAZON 81
Travel on the Capitol Corridor, offering work tables, wifi connections, and exclusive
views of the San Francisco Bay, is competitive with driving, especially during peak
hours. Trains take an hour and 25 minutes between Sacramentos Intermodal station
and Richmond, with on-site connections to BART service throughout the Bay Area; 1
hour 38 minutes to Emeryville, offering immediate bus connections to downtown
San Francisco; and 1 hour 50 minutes to Oakland. From a Greyhound station located
near the Railyards, express bus service is also available to/from downtown Oakland
(1.5 hours) and San Franciscos TransBay Terminal (2 hours).
The Sacramento Intermodal station offers light rail, bus, Uber, Lyft and taxi
connections to and from the station.

Downtown Sacramento is a major hub for light rail lines, local, express and
commuter bus services and vanpools from more outlying communities.
In addition to Bay Area service, the Capitol Corridor provides a local peak hour
commute option from the South Placer County communities of Auburn, Rocklin 1
Sacramento Area Council of Governments and Roseville (30-minute ride) to
Sacramento, and 15 round trips daily from downtown Davis adjacent to the University
of California campus (a 15-minute trip).
The Capitol Corridor is planned to receive service upgrades between South Placer
County, Sacramento and Davis/UC Davis. A SACOG-led feasibility study is also
beginning on further expanding rail service in the segment between Davis and
Sacramento. A new streetcar connecting West Sacramento, downtown and
midtown Sacramento to the Intermodal station is anticipated to open for service by
2020.
Currently 26% of trips to downtown Sacramento are made by walking, biking and
transit.
Bikes are allowed on board Capitol Corridor and light rail trains, and local and
commuter bus bicycle racks, providing first mile/last mile connections to the
Railyards existing and planned network of bicycle facilities. Sacramentos new
Bikeshare system provides even greater access to downtown Sacramentos growing
bicycle network. The Citys Downtown Grid 3.0 plan is continuing to improve bicycle
and pedestrian facilities and streets for focused transit travel and connectivity. The
City is also beginning to convert existing on-street bike lanes to protected bike lanes,
and constructing additional trail connections along the riverfront.
The four major highways serving downtown Sacramento provide convenient access
for employees driving from areas throughout the region.
Waze is currently providing on-demand ride-matching in the region. An expanding
carpool and bus lane network connecting to downtown will also improve travel time
for commuters choosing to rideshare or use transit.
Downtown Sacramento has an active Transportation Management Association
(TMA). The Sacramento TMA offers a Guaranteed Ride Home Program, vanpool and
rideshare matching, and other assistance for employer members and Employee
Transportation Coordinators seeking to provide transportation information and
benefits to their employees

Similar to Amazons HQ1 in
Seattle, our design approach
assumes that HQ2 will serve a
variety of operations,

management, IT, R&D, and
other corporate functions
According to Amazon, 15% of
its Seattle employees live in its
zip code and about 20% walk
to work. The masterplan
concept for HQ2 also seeks to
the achieve the same potential
for HQ2, with a 15 to 20 minute
walk, bike, or transit ride.
The masterplan includes the
potential for several hundred
housing units within the HQ2
plan area, in addition to
housing units on the ground
within a 15- to 20 minute radius
and housing planned in
proximity to HQ2 in the next
10-15 years.
Amazons location at North
Natomas could accelerate and
catalyze development plans for
additional housing, retail, and
commercial services in the
vicinity of the plan area.

. 14
AMAZON 103
According to Amazon, each
of its Seattle headquarters
buildings has its own own

peculiar design, which
creates environmentally
friendly workspaces that help
inspire collaboration and
innovation.
The land use and circulation
design concept for HQ2
allows for flexible building
dimensions, floorplates,
height, and configurations
with other buildings, to allow
for same type of creativity,
collaboration, innovation, and
environmentally friendly
workspaces.
This exhibit suggests the
potential for clusters of
buildings, forming sub-
campuses within the project
site, to meet the needs of
different functions, yet
connected through an internal
system of complete streets,
paseos, and greenways.

15
Phase I is proposed at the
gateway (Truxel & Terracina).
Either Phase I or II could

include a hotel for visiting
employees or business
partners, based on demand.
Phases II and III could
develop along the transit
street timed to anticipate
extension of Light Rail or
other transit service with
retail/services for employees
and visitors. Potential
Hotel
Phase IV would complete the

southern end of the project
site.
The initial phase(s) would be
surface parked, then
converted to structured
parking when land is needed
for buildings
The housing market is strong
in Natomas, but choices are
limited which creates an
opportunity to work with a
local developer to expand
employee housing choice.

16 POTENTIAL PHASING

The project site is
accessible via bike/ped
trails, bike lanes, and
sidewalks. Class 1 trails are

located at the regional park
and canal (blue line).
Streets are designed as
complete streets/green
streets that connect to the
regional circulation
network, regional park,
trails, and Natomas Town
Center.
North Natomas has a TMA
program (Natomas Flyer)
and safe routes to school
program (off-site trails to
bike/walk).
The Transit District/Street
will allow future light rail
through the project site to
Sacramento International
Airport.
Within the Amazon campus,
there is an opportunity to
build upon rapidly growing
bike share/car share
services and shuttle
service into the project site.
17
The Central Green would
feed into the LID

stormwater management
system and flow toward the
external stormwater
management system.
Green rooftops, rain
gardens, and other
naturalized stormwater
management techniques
could be incorporated per
the CalGreen Code.
Paseos and greenways
could connect to external
bike/ped circulation and to
the Truxel Road bike
system to Discovery Park
(confluence of American
and Sacramento rivers).
Internal connections could
also lead to destinations in
the Regional Park, such as
the Farmers Market,
Library, and planned
Aquatic Center

18
AMAZON 107
The plan concept is a
modified walkable grid so

that most the campus is
within 15-minute walk of
future transit stop.
As noted previously, future
light rail service is planned
to connect Downtown,
Natomas, and the Airport.
Transit service would offer
convenient access to
cultural, entertainment, and
sports, and other
attractions in the urban
core.
Amazon could be the
catalyst for specialized
shuttle/transit service,
creating an opportunity to
expand the TMA program
and shuttle service and
accelerate transit options
with more housing
adjacent/near the Amazon
campus.

THE BRIDGE DISTRICT (WEST SACRAMENTO)
West
The Sacramento
Bridge District
Bridge District
The Bridge District is located directly across the Sacramento River from the
Sacramentos Central City district., which included downtown Sacramento.
Of the City's ten miles of frontage on the Sacramento River, the Bridge District is
the best suited for new urban- scale development. The Bridge District touches
the West Capitol Avenue and Washington neighborhoods, areas that have seen
substantial public and private investment in the past decade. The District is
also bracketed by two of the major entries to the city, giving it a prominent role as
a gateway to the City from points east. The Bridge District is adjacent to
downtown Sacramento, and, in combination with it, can provide a stronger,
more vibrant heart for the Sacramento region, providing jobs and new housing for
West Sacramento residents.
The geography of the Bridge District provides a natural location for the
development of an urban waterfront district. The defining feature of the District
is its mile-long frontage on the Sacramento River. In addition to the prime
waterfront location, the Bridge District rests upon a bluff that raises most of the
area out of the floodplain. T In the Bridge District, the broad bluff along the river
provides an opportunity to develop buildings of an urban scale that can capitalize
on views across and along the Sacramento River.
The Bridge District along with completed and planned housing, the Bridge District
is well situated to accommodate a large office headquarters campus.
21
The Bridge District is also close to the
state capitol, allowing easy pedestrian or
bicycle access to the amenities found
there. The Bridge District contains 188
acres and includes over 100 acres of
remaining developable land.
Nearby land uses include a mixed-use,
predominantly residential community to
the north (Broderick) that includes the
Washington District, a budding urban
housing, restaurant, retail and
social/cultural gathering place. The
Central Business District and Civic
Center are to the west, along West
Capitol Avenue.
West Sacramento has access to the
regional interstate transportation
system via interstate 80, Interstate 5 and
Highway 50 and Railyards across the
River. The Bridge District also has
freeway access via on- and off ramps to
Highway 50.
The Bridge District is entitled for a mix of
high-density office, retail, commercial,
and residential. Public and private
utilities have been installed to serve
existing uses (Raley Field and several
residential projects) and can be easily
expanded to accommodate Amazon.

Drainage System
Approximately 9,000 linear feet of backbone drainage mains would be installed coincident with
the roadway projects described above. This would include trunk level and lateral-level drainage
pipes, manholes, and inlets. All inlets would have bicycle-friendly grates.
The proposed drainage system would include construction of a drainage basin and/or drainage
pump station with an outfall either to the existing drainage ditch and culverts located in the
western portion of Specific Plan Area (including some off-site culvert and ditch improvements)
and/or to the Sacramento River to the east. The out-fall to the Sacramento River would require
construction of an outfall structure. The drainage basin will combine flood control detention and
water quality components. The drainage basin will be located in the southern area of the Specific
Plan and could range in size from 2 acres to 10 acres. The drainage basin sizing is dependent on
the final hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and the proposed outfall location(s).

Flooding
The City of West Sacramento is located in the natural floodplain of the
Sacramento River. The Triangle Specific Plan Area is located behind levees maintained by
Reclamation Districts (RDs) 900. FEMA classifies this location as being in Zone
X. Currently, the Plan Area is located outside the 100-year flood plain as determined
by FEMA (FEMA 1995).
The goal of the West Sacramento Levee Improvements Program is to achieve a 200-year level of
flood protection for West Sacramento. The California Department of Water Resources and the US
Army Corps of Engineers agreed to partner with the West Sacramento Area Flood Control
Agency (WSAFC) and the City on the levee projects. Construction began with the I Street Bridge
Early Implementation Project completed in 2008. Numerous other levee projects have been
completed since that time. Currently, Phase 2 of the Southport Levee Improvement Project is
preparing to start construction. The biggest levee project ever taken in West Sacramento,
covering 5.6 miles of levee length, began in May, 2017 and is expected to take two years to
complete. The WSAFC is working quickly to meet the stricter 200-year flood control standards
imposed by the state in 2006, which must be met by 2025.
https://www.cityofwestsacramento.org/documents/Flood/Winter09FloodArticles.pdf
https://www.cityofwestsacramento.org/city/depts/comdev/flood/levee_projects_overview.asp
Weather
The City of West Sacramento lies in the Mediterranean subtropical climate zone and experiences
cool wet winters with hot dry summers. The average annual precipitation is approximately 18 to
20 inches and falls in the months of November through April (DWR 2004) - Triangle Specific Plan
Draft Supplemental EIR, Page 4D-1.
Endangered Species
The habitat types and distribution in the Plan Area have not changed appreciably since 1993.
Much of the Plan Area is still paved, developed or landscaped, and the Plan Area still
encompasses a small area of riparian habitat along the Sacramento River on the east side of the
AMAZON 137
Plan Area. The 1993 EIR document considered impacts to valley elderberry longhorn beetle
(VELB) (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus), winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha), Swainsons hawk (Buteo swainsonii), and California Hibiscus (Hibiscus
lasiocarpus). Additional species considered, that have the potential to occur in the Plan Area,
impact discussions, and mitigation measures are discussed in the
Triangle Specific Plan Draft Supplemental EIR, Pages 3-1 to 3-17.
Archaeological Resources
One known archaeological resource, CA-YOL-27, is mapped within the Plan Area. CA-YOL-27 is
described as a prehistoric midden site measuring approximately 60 meters (200 feet) in diameter.
Currently, the location of CA-YOL-27 is not precisely known. The 2008 AES inventory did not
result in the identification of any archaeological resources within the Fulcrum Project Area.
According to the General Plan, no historic districts are located on or in the vicinity of the Plan
Area (Yolo County 2005) - Triangle Specific Plan Draft Supplemental EIR, Pages 4C-1 - 4C-11
E Utilities (Electric/Natural Gas)
Dry Public Utilities

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides electrical service to the City. PG&E also provides
natural gas to residents of West Sacramento. Approximately 9,000 linear feet of public utility joint
trench would be constructed coincident with roadway projects. Existing overhead communication
and electrical systems and underground distribution and transmission natural gas mains will be
relocated and / or reconstructed as part of new public utility joint trench system. Triangle
Specific Plan Draft Supplemental EIR, Page 2-15.

The RSP Area is located on alluvial deposits of the Sacramento and American Rivers. Ground
surface elevations in the RSP Area are between approximately 13 feet and 40 feet above mean
sea level (+13 to +40 feet msl). Large portions of the RSP Area are relatively flat at about 25 to
30 feet msl. There are various temporary depressions and temporary soil stockpiles resulting
from remedial action excavations. The interior plazas of the Central Shops area, located at the
center of the RSP west of 7th Street, are primarily paved, with surrounding portions covered by
remediated soils. (see attached)

Weather
Sacramento has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Kppen Csa), characterized by damp to
wet, mild winters and hot, dry summers. The average annual precipitation is 18.52 inches (470
mm). On average, precipitation falls on 60 days each year in Sacramento, and nearly all of this
falls during the winter months. Snowfall is rare in Sacramento, which is only 25 ft (7.6 m) above
sea level. In the downtown area, there have been only 3 significant snow accumulations since
1900, the last one being in 1976.

Reports
No known active faults occur in or adjacent to the City of Sacramento. During the past 150 years,
there has been no documented movement on faults mapped in Sacramento County. The closest
known potentially active fault mapped by the CGS is the Dunnigan Hills fault (possible Holocene
activity, defined by the GGS as within the last 11,000 years and by the USGS as within the last
15,000 years), about 19 miles northwest of Sacramento.

Utilities Map, showing existing and planned lines
Water Supply
The City of Sacramento provides water service in the Plan Area. The City supplies water from a
combination of surface water and groundwater sources. The Citys water facilities include water
treatment plants, storage tanks, pumping facilities, and a system of transmission and distribution
mains. There is an existing 12-24 inch potable water pipeline in E. Commerce Way, Arena Blvd.,
and Del Paso Blvd. with a short pipeline extension into the project site. A 12-24 inch pipeline and
a 24-72 inch pipeline extending from the Sacramento River Water Treatment Plant to the
Gateway Storage tank just east of the project site runs along Truxel Road. These lines currently
serve the existing Plan Area. (see attached map of existing facilities)
Sewer System
The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San, formerly referred to as
SRCSD, provides wastewater collection and treatment service for the Specific Plan Area.
Regional San operates all regional interceptors (large sewer lines) and wastewater treatment
plants serving the City, except for the combined sewer and storm drain treatment facilities that
serve the older Central City area. The Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) operates smaller
local pipelines that connect to the larger regional pipelines maintained by Regional San. SASD
serves several community plan areas including North Natomas.
(see attached map of existing facilities)
Drainage System
The City of Sacramento Department of Utilities provides storm drainage service. Stormwater run-
off in North Natomas is managed through drainages systems consisting of gutters, drain inlets,
pipes, detention basins, and pumping facilities. These systems convey storm run-off by gravity
flow through pipes, which discharge into regional detention basins. Stormwater drainage facilities
along the north side of the Plan Area drain the areas north of the arena. However, on most of
Plan Area, stormwater drains southward toward drainage pipes in Arena Boulevard, then travels
east and north along the west side of the East Drainage Canal, and empties into a stormwater
retention pond approximately 1,200 feet east of the Plan Area. The Citys storm drainage pump
stations pump storm run-off from the detention basins into the Reclamation District (RD) 1000
channel system. The storm run-off is then conveyed in the RD 1000 pumping facility located on
the Garden Highway. The stormwater run-off is then pumped into the Sacramento River.
(see attached map of existing facilities)
Topography map
Base elevations within the Plan Area range from 14 to 24 feet, with the arena developed to
elevations of between 24 and 32 feet. The depression in the northerly third of the Plan Area
varies in elevation from 2 to 16 feet. (see attached map)
Flood plain map

North Natomas has historically been an agricultural area within the Sacramento River floodplain.
The City, working with FEMA and Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA), participated
in a flood control plan for North Natomas. The Natomas Levee Improvement Project (NLIP), the
primary initiative that implements the plan, entails improving the levee system that protects the
Natomas Basin and, when completed, will provide 200-year flood protection to residents,
structures, and property within the Natomas Basin.
Within the City, the Natomas Basin is surrounded by levees. At this time, FEMA has given the
Natomas Basin an A99 Flood designation. A99 is an interim flood zone designation, which is
considered high risk, but still allows construction in Natomas. However, completion of flood
protection improvements under the NLIP will bring the Natomas Basin area in compliance with
State requirements for 200-year flood protection.

Endangered Species
North Sacramento and North Natomas has the largest concentration of annual grassland.
Special-status species in or around the Plan Area that use annual grasslands for foraging and/or
nesting include the Swainsons hawk (Buteo swainsoni) and burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia).
Another special-status species occurring close to the Plan Area is the giant garter snake
(Thamnophis gigas) The Plan Area consists of developed land and disturbed land in the northern
part of the area (the latter supporting volunteer trees, shrubs, grasses, and other vegetation that
have grown over the years). Burrowing owl is the only documented special-status species spotted
in the Plan Area. (see attached figure)

Sleep Train Arena Site - North Natomas

Sleep Train Arena is a half mile from Interstate 5, and a mile from Interstate 80 west
to the Bay Area and east to Placer County and the Tahoe Basin. Five minutes further
in Downtown Sacramento, Interstate 5 connects to the Capital Freeway (Business
80), State Route 99 south to Bakersfield, and U.S. 50 (Sacramento to East Coast).
Auto travel time to San Francisco and other Bay Area destinations via the interstate
system is generally under two hours except during peak commute periods.
New overcrossings of I-5 at Snowy Egret and El Centro will improve connectivity in
the areas near the site.
Proximity to the airport:
Sleep Train Arena takes 10 minutes (off-peak) to 15 minutes (peak) driving time to
SMF, which offers over 150 daily nonstop flights to cities across the US and abroad.
Among the non-stop locations are Seattle (2 hours); New York (5 hours); San
Francisco (1 hour); and Washington D.C. (5 hours)
A future expansion of Sacramentos light rail service will provide a direct connection
to SMF from Sleep Train Arena

The North Natomas Flyer provides shuttle services within the community of North
Natomas and to/from Downtown.
Regional Transit provides a regular route between Downtown and North Natomas
with a one-stop transfer to/from light rail and at the Intermodal Station for Capitol
Corridor service to/from Roseville or Davis and the Bay Area.
Planned bus rapid transit service will further improve connections to Natomas from
Southwest Placer, Rocklin and Roseville to the east.
With the completion of the Green Line extension, Sleep Train Arena will have direct
light rail service from downtown Sacramento, with connections to neighborhoods
throughout the Sacramento area.
Heavy rail service linking Stockton, Elk Grove, midtown Sacramento, and Natomas is
also in the planning stages. Sacramento Area Council of Governments
Natomas currently has many bike lanes and connections. The Sleep Train Arena site
is adjacent to the East Drainage Canal bike trail and less than two miles from the
Ueda Parkway bike trail, part of the regional trail network that connects to the 30-
AMAZON 157
mile American River Parkway and cities along the American River. Additional planned
bike paths will provide direct connections from the Sleep Train Arena to the popular
regional trail network.
Sleep Train Arena can easily be reached by car from areas throughout the region via
Interstate 80, and Interstate 5 with its nearby interchanges with the Capital City
Freeway (Business 80), State Route 99 north and south, and U.S. 50.
An expanding carpool and bus lane network on Interstates 5 and 80, as well as
planned interchange improvements will further improve these connections.
North Natomas has an active Transportation Management Association (TMA). The
TMA offers a Guaranteed Ride Home Program, vanpool and rideshare matching, and
other assistance for employer members seeking to provide transportation
information and benefits to their employees. Proximity to active transportation
Sleep Train Arena has connectionseither on-street or separated bike pathsto the
many paths and trails in North Natomas, including access to a regional park with

SUBJECT: Zoning Review of Aerojet Special Planning Area Designated Office Use Areas,
including Easton Place and Glenborough Project Areas (Aerojet SPA)
The Aerojet Special Planning Area (Aerojet SPA) was last updated and adopted by the County of
Sacramento Board of Supervisors on January 28, 2009 [Zoning Ordinance Number SZC-2009-0001,
Sacramento County Zoning Code (SZC) Section 508-300] in the approval of the Easton Place and
Glenborough projects. The purpose of the Aerojet SPA is to define a flexible regulatory framework to
promote uses on the Aerojet properties in the heart of Sacramento County.
Two sub-components of the larger Aerojet SPA are the 183-acre Easton Place and 1,208-acre
Glenborough at Easton master plans. There are also additional master plan areas in the adjacent
Cities of Rancho Cordova and Folsom, not subject to County regulation.
Sacramento County Planning has concluded that the Aerojet SPA permits the construction of
approximately 8,377,900 square feet of office uses by-right in the overall Aerojet SPA within the
unincorporated portions of the County. Please note that code requirements, including but not limited to
non-discretionary design review, may apply.
Easton Place Land Use Master Plan Office Use
Easton Place is a Land Use Master Plan covering a portion of the Aerojet SPA that is organized as a
series of three Districts (Transit, Central, and Market), each of which offers differing but complementary
uses. The Transit District will consist of predominantly residential and office uses to take advantage of
proximity to the nearby light rail transit station. The Central District will have a mixture of residential,
office, commercial/retail, entertainment, and civic uses and will serve as both a local and regional
employment center. The Market District will be a more conventional region-serving commercial/retail
area with additional office and community support uses (taken from Easton Place Land Use Master
Plan, Chapter 1- Vision Statement, page 3).
Each District includes an overall square footage amount designated for a mix of office, commercial,
retail, entertainment, and civic uses. The Easton Place Land Use Master Plan is designed and
approved to be flexible in the location of the approved uses. While the expectation is for a mix of uses,

www.per.saccounty.net
all of the square footage approved could be earmarked for office use by-right. Therefore, the maximum
amounts of office use square footage in each Easton Place District breaks down as follows:
Transit District (Sub district T3): 283,000 square feet

Central District (Sub districts C1 - C5): 2,309,100 square feet
Market District (Sub districts M1 - M3): 935,800 square feet
Total 3,527,900 square feet
(Based on projections listed in Table 2.1- Land Use Summary Table, pg. 15 of Master Plan.)
Aerojet SPA Office Use
The Aerojet SPA includes a provision to permit retention, reactivation, modification, or development of
new office square footage commensurate with the historical amount on the site, which is approximately
4.6 million square feet. This grandfathered allowance is limited to the designated Administrative Areas
of the SPA, which abut Easton Place to the southwest, south, and southeast. Further, an additional
250,000 square feet of office use is permitted outside of the Administrative Areas, for a total of
4,850,000 square feet of potential office use area in the general Aerojet SPA. Additional square
footage (no stated cap) may be allowed with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission. In addition, the Aerojet SPA allows a wide range of Industrial Park and Heavy Industrial
Uses in other designated Areas.
SZC 508-304(a) Existing Uses, (3) Office Uses.

Aerojets permitted uses of the subject property within this Special Planning Area permit Aerojet to
reactivate, relocate, restructure, modify, expand and renovate its office uses commensurate with its
historical uses. Notwithstanding subsections (b) and (c) below and except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 508-304(d) hereof, or the approval of one or more Land Use Master Plans pursuant
to Section 508-307 hereof, the total net office uses, wherever such office uses may, from time to time,
be located on the property within this Special Planning Area shall not exceed the net approximately 4.6
million square feet of existing office uses (as defined in Section 508-303(c) hereof). Any reactivated or
relocated office use shall be (a) within the Administrative Area of the subject property, which is depicted
in Section 508-313, Exhibit B of this Special Planning Area Ordinance, or (b), if located outside said
administrative area, the total net office uses outside said administrative area shall not exceed 250,000
square feet and shall be located within areas of the subject property that have been historically used for
office purposes. If such office use exceeds said 4.6 million square feet within said administrative area
or exceeds said 250,000 square feet outside of said administrative area within areas that have been
historically used for office purposes, it is considered a new use and is subject to issuance of a
conditional use permit pursuant to Section 508-305 hereof, except as may otherwise be provided
pursuant to the approval of one or more Land Use Master Plans pursuant to Section 508-307 hereof.
Relocated office uses shall not be located within 500 feet of the White Rock Road Special Planning
Area without the issuance of a conditional use permit or, alternatively, the approval of one or more Land
Use Master Plans.

Jeff Bezos, Chairman, President, and CEO
Amazon
410 Terry Avenue North
Seattle, WA 98109-5210

Dear Mr. Bezos,

Thank you for the opportunity to present the City of Folsom, as you and your team consider options
for Amazons HQ2 campus. There are unique and strategic opportunities that a Folsom location
would provide Amazon access to a world-class technical and creative workforce only found in
California; access to California companies that may be a part of Amazons future growth strategy;
access to a myriad of air and ground transportation options that connect employees at a Folsom
campus with Seattle, the nation, and the world; and, the ability to partner with leaders in
education, government, and industry in Northern California and the State to influence programs
and policy.
Steeped in California Gold Rush history but with a clear vision for the future, Folsom has become a
unique community within the Greater Sacramento Region. While Folsom is home to tech giants like
Intel, Micron, and Toshiba, it is also an entrepreneurial hub that has seen start-ups such as,
Inductive Automation, Visionary Integration Professionals, and PowerSchool become international
leaders in their industries. These companies and others have discovered the quality workforce,
affordable and varied housing, highly ranked schools, and unsurpassed quality of life that Folsom
provides. Residents, employees, and visitors of Folsom benefit from and enjoy a wide variety of
retail and restaurant amenities, world-class sports, recreation, and cultural venues.
With the addition of the Folsom Ranch development south of Highway 50, the City of Folsom is
taking its next step forward. The 3,000+ acre project will add commercial, retail, and residential
development and will include more than 10,000 new homes and nearly 1,000 acres of permanent
open space on rolling hills accentuated with majestic oaks. With flexible commercial zoning and the
support of city leadership, the Amazon-proposed sites in Folsom Ranch and adjacent properties will
provide Amazon the opportunity to develop a new corporate campus that is unique and services the
demands of your future work, employees, and customers.

Choose Folsom is the brand of Folsom Economic Development Corporation

On behalf of the Folsom business community, we appreciate your consideration of Folsom as a

location for your HQ2 Project and encourage you to strongly consider the benefits of establishing a
corporate presence in Folsom.
Sincerely,
JOE GAGLIARDI
President and CEO

Highlights and Benefits
of a Folsom, California Location
Unencumbered by outstanding regulatory or environmental requirements, all proposed sites in

Folsom are zoned appropriately, entitled, and ready-to-go, meeting the Phase 1 (most
immediate) timeline required by Amazon.
A Folsom campus location offers access to additional proposed sites along the Highway 50
Corridor in the Sacramento Region. For a campus as large as that which is proposed, a trolley
or rail system could connect an Amazon campus that includes villages at the proposed
Folsom sites, the proposed Easton project in adjacent Sacramento County, and the proposed El
Dorado Hills project in adjacent El Dorado County.
Folsom Ranch includes entitlements for more than 10,000 new homes, which when combined
with housing entitlements granted and under development in the western-adjacent Easton
project and the eastern-adjacent El Dorado Hills project, will provide tens of thousands of new
home options for Amazons future workforce.
Situated on US Highway 50, 18 miles east of Sacramento and the western United States
intersection of the main north/south (Interstate 5 and US Highway 99) and east/west (Interstate
80 and US Highway 50) freeway systems, Folsom provides easy access and mobility for
employees and customers.
A Folsom location would provide quick access to and from Sacramento International Airport for
commercial passenger service, as well as access to Mather Jet Center, located 10 miles west,
providing executive, corporate, and air cargo flight services including 20 minute flights into the
San Francisco Bay Area.
Light rail connects Folsom to Downtown Sacramento, with plans for extension to Sacramento
Folsom is home to an Intel campus of nearly 7,000 that has the highest recruitment and
retention rate for all of Intels US campuses. Through the years, senior leadership at Intel have
chosen to have offices at the Folsom campus and homes in Folsom, in addition to, or in lieu of
their offices at Intels corporate headquarter location in Santa Clara.
Folsom leaders are proud that it is the location of choice for companies of all sizes from tech
giants like Intel, Micron, and Toshiba, to powerhouse regional start-ups that have grown to be
AMAZON 199
the leaders in their industries, such as Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), VSP Global,
PowerSchool, and Aerojet.
Folsoms seismic stability and weather conditions have also attracted many critical back office,
data centers, and support service companies in the energy, healthcare, and finance/insurance
fields.
Folsom has more professional and technical talent per capita than anywhere else in the Greater
Sacramento Area, and boasts the highest annual median income, at more than $100,000, in the
region and the thirteenth best in the State.
More than 50 percent of all annual wages in Folsom are generated by employment in the
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector.
Relative to the nation, Folsom has extremely high specialization in the following computer
occupations:
Computer Systems Analysts
Computer Programmers
Software Developers in Systems Software
When compared to California, Folsom retains its relatively high specialization in these
occupations, doing particularly well in Computer Systems Analysts and Computer
Programmers.
Residents of Folsom are highly educated with nearly 50 percent holding a college degree. Their
children attend schools in the highest performing district in the region based on test scores and
graduation rates.
With access to a regional labor pool larger than San Francisco, companies in Folsom have no
problem recruiting and retaining talent. In fact, Folsom companies have had great success in
attracting talent from the San Francisco Bay Area. Affordable housing options combined with
access to world class sports, recreation and cultural venues in a city with outstanding schools,
parks and retail amenities make it an easy decision for employees of all ages to make the move
to Folsom.
Folsom is located in the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), which provides among the
lowest electricity rates in the State and boasts among the best records of reliability for its
customers.
SMUD is a national leader in building a portfolio of sustainably generated electricity and

encourages and assists its customers in pursuing sustainability and efficiency.
Folsom regularly attains high national rankings on lists having to do with work and life:

290 Conference Center Drive
Overview
The 290 Conference Center Drive site is 11 acres in size and is currently undeveloped. The site has
commercial/business professional land use and commercial zoning, and has utility and traffic capacity for
up to 500,000 square feet of professional office development potential. Building height up to ten stories is
permitted. The proposed project will require approval of a major project permit and subsequent
environmental impact report. Entitlements are approved at the Planning Commission level unless appealed
to the City Council.
A. Basic Site Data and Attributes:

1. Address: 290 Conference Center Drive, Roseville CA, 95678
2. APN: 363-011-086
3. Zoning: Community Commercial / Special Area Overlay. Professional office and retail are permitted
uses (maximum 60% retail).
4. Neighboring land uses: Community Commercial / Business Professional. Site is bordered by
commercial retail, restaurants, hotel, and event center to the south, a 2.5 million square feet of
regional retail to the east, upscale health club (under construction), professional office, and high
density housing to the west.
5. Size in acres: 11 acres
6. Shape of site: Mostly rectangular with irregular eastern boundary adjacent to open space / creek.
7. Potential for expansion: Two privately owned undeveloped parcels (7 and 8 acres, respectively)
border the site to the south for an additional estimated 260,000 square feet of potential office
space.
8. Geotechnical status: South Placer area is classified as a low severity earthquake zone. No active
faults are known to exist within the County. The project site is considered to have low seismic risk
with respect to faulting, ground shaking, seismically related ground failure and liquefaction.
Subsurface soils (below 2 feet) are a mix of cemented, volcanic mudflow breccia, conglomerate,
minor silt and sand. No groundwater was encountered at maximum auger depth of 39 feet. Nearest
recorded groundwater depths range from 48 to 108 feet (source: DWR, wells
387755N1212753W001 and 387755N1212753W002). Please see the attached geotechnical study
for more information.
9. Bearing capacities: To be determined by qualified geotechnical engineer. Foundations for the
previously approved hotel tower on this site were designed using allowable capacities of 6,700 psf
for dead loads, 10,000 psf for dead plus live, and 13,300 psf for dead plus live plus seismic.
10. Special incentive zone: None.
11. Ownership: Public (City of Roseville)

2. Utilities Map: see attached.

3. Aerial photography: see attached.
4. Topographic map: see attached
5. Flood plain map: see attached.
C. Reports and Studies

1. Wetlands report: A previous Clean Water Act Nationwide Permit 26 authorized fill of then-existing
jurisdictional seasonal wetlands and vernal pools on the site in 1989. The wetlands were filled and
mitigated and the property has since been regularly mowed and disked to prevent wetlands from
re-establishing.
2. Phase 1 environmental report: see attached.
3. Soil boring reports: see attached.
D. Risks
1. Risk of flooding: the site is adjacent to, but not within the regulatory flood plain (see attached
map). Furthermore, City improvement standards require commercial development to have a
finished floor elevation no less than two feet above the Citys 100-year flood elevation.
2. Frequency of major weather events within 50 miles: The site is not located in an area suseptable
to tornadoes, hurricanes, tropical storms, major snowstorms, flooding, or seismic activity.

City of Roseville Panhandle Site Information
Overview
The Panhandle site is an approximately 130-acre greenfield vacant parcel, that is owned by the City of
Roseville, located north of a planned six-lane arterial (extension of Blue Oaks Boulevard, west of
Westbrook Boulevard, see attachment) and adjacent on two sides, to the planned sixlane regional Placer
Parkway (see conceptual cross-section below). The proposed project will require approval of a rezoning
and General Plan amendment for commercial/office uses, a major project permit and design review, and
likely an environmental impact report (EIR). Entitlements would require review by the Planning
Commission and City Council approval. Conceptual plans for a potential job center, which were
contemplated prior to the great recession, assumed 1,080,000 square feet in a total of 18 two-story
buildings.
A. Basic Site Data and Attributes:

1. Address: 6382 Phillips Road, Roseville CA, 95678
2. APN: 017-101-008-000
3. Zoning: Public/Quasi-Public. The P/QP designation is used to establish areas for municipal,
governmental or public facilities.
4. Neighboring land uses: To the northwest is the Al Johnson Wildlife Area, part of a 1,700 acre
site planned to accommodate the Citys storm water regional retention facility and potential
recreation uses. To the west along the southern portion of the site are agricultural uses; to the
east, immediately adjacent is the Creekview Specific Plan area, planned to accommodate 2,011
residential units; to the south along the southern edge of the Panhandle is the future extension
of Blue Oaks Boulevard, and to the south the West Roseville Specific Plan approved in 2004,
which is 65 percent built out, and includes 10,479 residential uses, parks, open space and
commercial uses. A portion of the site would accommodate the future Placer Parkway, a
planned regional facility, which would will connect Highway 65 in Placer County to highway 99 in
Sutter County, providing an alternate highway to Interstate 80.
5. Size in acres: The entire parcel is 234 acres, which includes 19.74 acres of the site dedicated to
accommodate Pleasant Grove Creek which traverses the property. The developable area is
approximately 130 acres in size.
6. Shape of site: The parcel is rectangular.
7. Potential for expansion: The site is currently vacant. An analysis of the site was done in 2006 by
the City of Roseville for a potential job center which assumed two story buildings totaling
1,080,000 square feet in a total of 18 buildings. However, the site could potentially
Page 1
City of Roseville
Panhandle Information
accommodate more development if higher density buildings (taller, larger floorplates) are
considered.
8. Geotechnical status: South Placer area is classified as a low severity earthquake zone. No active
faults are known to exist within the County. The project site is considered to have low seismic
risk with respect to faulting, ground shaking, seismically related ground failure and liquefaction.
There are no known faults of Type A or B within 15 kilometers of the site. Subsurface soils
(below 2 feet) are a mix of silty sand and sandy silt to two feet underlain by a layer of silty clay,
commonly referred to as hardpan. Review of available ground water data indicates the
permanent ground water elevation is present at depths greater than 90-feet. Please see the
attached geotechnical study for more information.
9. Bearing capacities: To be determined by qualified geotechnical engineer
10. Special incentive zone: None.
11. Ownership: Public (City of Roseville)
1. Site - regional transportation routes and access points: see attachment

2. Additional information regarding site maps including topography can be found

City of Roseville
3. Utilities: No utilities are located on the site. However, the Creekview Specific Plan shows the
potential for future connections for water, wastewater and recyled water to the site, along the
eastern boundary.
4. Aerial photography: see above
5. Topographic map: see link to online maps above. The site is relatively flat, with gently rolling
terrain.
6. Flood plain map: see attached.

1. Wetlands report: Contains marginal natural resources (no known wetlands/vernal pools, etc).
However, given the clay soils a wetland delineation and potential federal 404 permits may be
required.
2. Phase 1 environmental report: none completed
3. Soil boring reports: none completed
D. Risks
1. Risk of flooding: an approximately 20-acre portion of the site, adjacent to and containing
Pleasant Grove Creek is within the regulatory flood plain (see floodplain conditions map
attached). The City of Roseville has approved a flood improvement project which will include
construction of a bypass channel and fill which will remove the 20 acres from the floodplain. In
addition, the Citys improvement standards require commercial development to have a finished
floor elevation no less than two feet above the Citys 100-year flood elevation. Adequate land
to develop is outside the floodplain.
2. Frequency of major weather events within 50 miles: The site is not located in an area
suseptable to tornadoes, hurricanes, tropical storms, major snowstorms, flooding, or seismic
activity.
3. Endangered species: No known endagered species are present on the site. However, the site is
currently vacant, with non-native grasslands. It likely provides foraging habitat for raptors such
as Swainsons hawk and others.
E. Utilities
1. Name of power provider: Roseville Electric (municipally owned electric utility). The Citys
Roseville Energy Park, a natural gas fired power plant is located a half mile away to the
southeast, south of Blue Oaks Boulevard. Natural gas lines are proximate to the site in
Westbrook Boulevard, southeast of the site.
2. Reliability data / outage information: Roseville owns and operates its own electric utility.
Electric service is highly realiable and at less cost than PG&E.
3. Existing electric capacity: No utilities are located on the site. However, the parcel is located
near developed areas of the City, so utilities could expanded to provide service to the site.
4. Source of power: Roseville Electric contracts.

General Site Description
The Highway 65 Lincoln Campus site is comprised of 133 acres total with all backbone
public infrastructure, entitlements and environmental approvals in place. A total of 84
acres are currently zoned Employment Center and can be developed as an office
campus with no new entitlements, easily meeting Amazons Phase I and Phase II
requirements.

An additional 29 acres, currently zoned High Density Residential, can be designated by
the City of Lincoln as Employment Center by amendment of the citys General Plan.

The remainder of approximately 100 acres are currently zoned Residential at medium
and high densities. The total acreage is large enough to creatively plan and integrate
campus development, open space and extensive residential uses. The entire site is
within the Twelve Bridges Master Planned Community, which integrates a range of
residential and commercial development with expansive open space preserve, trails,
paths and bike lanes.

Ownership Structure
Phase I property is owned by a single owner, Pappas Investments. The Phase II property
is owned by Pappas Investments and two private investors. The Residential acreage is
owned by a single owner, the original developer and planner of the Twelve Bridges
master planned community.

Path to Development
Construction of Phase I and Phase II buildings for Amazon HQ2, up to 2.1 million sf,
requires only building permits and design and site plan review, all of which can be issued
within 90 days of complete plan submittal. All entitlements and environmental
approvals are in place.

Utility Infrastructure In Place at Site
Sanitary sewer, storm sewer, street, sidewalk, water, electric, gas, fiber, all are in place.
The City of Lincoln maintains the circulation, sewer and water infrastructure, Pacific Gas
& Electric maintains the electric and gas infrastructure, and AT&T maintains the fiber
infrastructure.

Environmental Review
Development of Phase I and Phase II will require no additional environmental review as
all development can occur under the certified Environmental Impact Report for the
Revised Twelve Bridges Specific Plan, California State Clearinghouse No. 97022074.
Appropriate environmental review for development of Phase III and beyond can be
based on (or tiered off of) the existing EIR.
AMAZON 281

program just launched in Placer County, will provide electric energy to Amazon HQ2.
PCE can provide 100% renewable and locally sourced energy to Amazon HQ2. PCE will
also enable Amazon HQ2 to benefit from an array of advanced energy initiatives such as
microgrid facilitation, a combined heat and power distribution system with utilization of
thermal storage, and energy and demand management. In addition, PCE will provide
guidance and support in the implementation of LEED certification for new buildings, a
net-zero energy strategy for the campus, and a comprehensive electric vehicle program.

Mr. Barry Broome
Greater Sacramento Economic Council

RE: Amazon HQ2
City of Elk Groves Response to Greater Sacramentos RFI

Dear Barry and Site Review Committee:

Introduction

On behalf of the Mayor and City Council and the residents of the City of Elk Grove (the City), and
in partnership with the Jacobi and Hardesty families (the Property Owners), and the Kamilos Companies
(the Developer), we are pleased to provide a response to the above referenced Request For Information
(RFI) issued by the Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) relating to the Amazon HQ2 Project
(the Project).

The City understands the Project to consist of an approximately $5 Billion, 8,000,000 SF
corporate headquarters, with approximately 50,000 employees at full build-out with average annual
compensation exceeding $100,000, to be built on up to 100 acres over approximately ten years or more.
Amazon has identified a 2019 target occupancy date for Phase I of the Project, consisting of 500,000 SF
to 1,000,000 SF of new or existing facilities in an urban or suburban setting.

The Elk Grove Value Proposition

Elk Grove is a high quality suburban community of approximately 171,000 people, located 12
miles south of the California State Capital in the States affordable Central Valley. We are a young,
ethnically diverse, modern city that was incorporated in 2000. Elk Grove is a family and business friendly
community, with low crime, excellent schools, over 95 community parks, excellent dining and shopping
options, numerous annual events and festivals, and over 270 sunny days per year. Median Household
Income is $79,500, the average home value is $350,300, and 62% of adults over age 25 are college
educated. 8,700 businesses employ 44,800 people, including corporations like Apple, ALLDATA,
California Northstate University, and the State of California. Elk Grove is governed by a five member City
AMAZON 323
Amazon HQ2
October 10, 2017
Page 2 of 11

Council consisting of four members elected of-district, and a City wide elected Mayor. We operate our
own Development Services, Public Works, Finance, Transit, and Police Departments, and are served by
the high quality Elk Grove Unified School District and Cosumnes Community Services District (providing
Fire and Parks and Recreation services).

Elk Grove is quickly emerging as a smart business location for corporations looking to scale at
cost with access to an exceptional talent pool. By locating in Elk Grove, a company taps into the fastest
growing multi-cultural millennial population in the State (and second in the US). We are undeniably part
of a Bay Area Megaregion, but we are firmly rooted in both the Sacramento and San Joaquin
metropolitan areas, pulling capital and talent from all three, while providing Bay Area access at Midwest
pricing. A corporation choosing Elk Grove will enjoy an immediate recapitalization by reducing operating
costs up to 50% versus other major metropolitan markets in the US. Employees will realize similar
benefits by enjoying a higher quality of life at lower costs. Elk Grove is a 90-minute drive to the Bay Area,
or a direct flight away from most major cities via Sacramento International Airport. We have greenfield
sites and Class-A office projects that are pre-zoned, CEQA cleared, and ready for construction, with
virtually no seismic or flood risks. We are 15 minutes from the State Capitol of the sixth largest economy
in the world, in the second largest city in Californias fifth largest metro region, Sacramento. We have a
business friendly City Council and programs and incentives designed to get a company up and running
on time and on budget with an emphasis on maintaining strong long term relationships.

The Site Value Proposition

After reviewing the Amazon HQ2 Request for Proposals (RFP) and the search criteria, the City is
confident that it has an exceptional site to offer the company along with a community whose culture
and values are aligned with Amazon. The Site is a 267-acre portion of what is called the Southeast
Policy Area, or SEPA (the Property or Site). SEPA is a 1,200()-acre master-planned mixed-use Special
Planning Area located in southeast Elk Grove. The Site is located along Kammerer Road between Lotz
Parkway and Big Horn Boulevard, and is directly accessible via a newly constructed interchange at State
Route 99 (SR-99) and Grant Line Road. The Site is a transit served, level greenfield with no known
seismic or flood risk, is appropriately zoned and CEQA cleared for development of the bulk of the full
build-out of the Project.

The Property is owned by two groups, and controlled by a single developer, Kamilos Companies,
who is partnering with the City and the Property Owners to develop the Property. Kamilos Companies
has been developing master-planned community projects in the Elk Grove Area for over two decades.
The Property affords a unique opportunity for development of Phase I of the Project, as well as
extensive room for long term expansion for full campus build-out and beyond. Owing to the size and
location of the Site, Amazon will have a literal and figurative blank canvas to brand and develop a world
class campus of their own design, built to their exact specifications, without the complexities and costs
of developing in an existing urban area. Amazon will have complete flexibility, with overwhelming City
Amazon HQ2
October 10, 2017
Page 3 of 11

support, to develop a legacy headquarters. The City is prepared to work with Amazon to name and
brand the campus and surrounding area.

Just south of the Site are approximately 7,800 acres of undeveloped land south of Kammerer
Road that is currently being evaluated for inclusion in the City. With existing infill development, SEPA,
and these new lands, the City has the potential to grow to over 305,000 residents, from its current
population of 171,000, over the next several decades. Amazons HQ2 Project would anchor and
accelerate that growth by creating a South Sacramento Region employment center unrivaled in the
region and the State. The HQ2 project would ultimately be surrounded by an innovative mix of new
commercial, residential, and business land uses, all new infrastructure, and be located in a major
California city stamped with Amazons presence.

To support development of the Site and the Citys long term vision for SEPA as a major
employment center, the City of Elk Grove is currently constructing or planning approximately $100
million of infrastructure that will bring critical facilities (all major public and private utilities and roads) to
the Property. These infrastructure projects are partially or fully City funded, and significant portions of
the work are already under construction, the completion of which will coincide with Amazons target for
its Phase I opening. Part of this work includes the extension and widening of Kammerer Road (Elk
Groves and the Sites southern boundary) from SR-99 to Interstate 5 (I-5). This critical limited access,
high speed expressway will allow the Property to be easily accessible from either SR-99 to the east or I-5
to the west and points beyond, and will provide the access necessary to support 50,000 Amazon
employees and visitors needs.

Below, you will find the information requested in the RFI, plus additional Site information that
the City deems to be relevant.

REQUESTED SITE INFORMATION

A. Site Data and Attributes

Address: The Site consists of three parcels located at the northwest corner of Kammerer
Road and Lotz Parkway in Elk Grove, California, and includes 8499 Kammerer
Road and two unaddressed adjacent parcels (APNs 132-0320-008, 132-0320-
009, and 132-0320-010).

Ownership: APNs 132-0320-008 and 009 (the eastern 165 acres) are owned by the Greg and
Paula Hardesty Family Trust. APN 132-0320-010 (the western 102 acres) is
owned by Jacobi Elk Grove Ranch LLC. Both families are represented by a
Sacramento based broker affiliated with Newmark Cornish & Carey, Kenneth
Noack. A single Sacramento based developer, Kamilos Companies, holds an

option to acquire and develop the entire Site. The contact information for the
Developer is:

Gerry Kamilos
Kamilos Companies
11249 Gold Country Boulevard
Gold River, California 95670
(916) 631-8440
gkamilos@kamilos.com

Site Size: Approximately 267 acres contiguous.

Site Shape: The Site is a partial rectangle, with a non-linear northern boundary, and linear
east, west, and southern boundaries.

Expansion Potential: The 267-acre Site offers expansion potential well beyond Phase I and the 100-
acre full build-out identified in the RFP; however, any needed Site size and
shape can be achieved through the Boundary Line Adjustment and acquisition
processes.

Zoning and Allowable
Uses: The Property is a portion of the Southeast Policy Area, Special Planning Area
(SPA). The SPA is an award winning Plan initiated by the City, in collaboration
with the Property Owners and Developer, that maps out the development of a
1,200-acre, employment oriented new community in the Sacramento Region.
Supplemental design documents to the SPA include an Architectural Style Guide
and a Landscape Planning Prototype Manual.

The Site is zoned O-Office. Relevant By-Right uses include Office, Restaurants,
Business Support Services, Call Centers, Research and Development, various
parking and transit uses, Parks and Public Plazas, Medical Services, Child Care
Facilities, Accessory Retail, Banks and Financial Services, and Utility Facility and
Infrastructure.

Office building heights are set at 90-feet maximum, allowing for approximately
seven story buildings. Minimum office parking requirements are 3.5 spaces per
1,000 SF of net building area. Structured and surface parking is allowed. This
equates to roughly 1,575 parking spaces for a 500,000 SF Phase I of Amazon
HQ2 at 90% building efficiency. Given the height limit and the size of the Site
(267 acres), 500,000 SF and up to 8,000,000 SF of office, and all related uses,
Amazon HQ2
October 10, 2017
Page 5 of 11

can be achieved on the Site in a variety of configurations ranging from low level
one to three story buildings, up to mid-rise seven story structures.

Neighboring Land
Uses: Neighboring undeveloped land uses include Light Industrial/Flex to the north
along Lotz Parkway and to the west along Kammerer Road, a landscaped water
oriented greenbelt corridor (incorporating required drainage facilities) directly
north of the Site, and a Mixed-Use Village Center and parks, schools, and a mix
of high, medium, and low density residential north of the Village Center. The
landscape corridor and Village Center projects will occur on the northern edge
of the Site, and will provide Amazon employees with extensive opportunities for
high quality recreation, entertainment, dining, shopping, and residential options
in an urban setting.

Planned and under construction projects outside the SEPA Special Planning
Area, but nearby to the Site, include: a 138-acre mixed-use project known as the
Promenade being developed by Merlone Geier Partners; a 600,000 SF high end
hybrid (outlet and traditional) shopping and entertainment center known as the
Elk Grove Collection being developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation; a 28-
acre five star gaming resort and conference center with a 12-story 300-room
hotel being developed by Boyd Gaming; a 100-acre multi-sport turf field
complex being developed by the City; and a 76-acre Civic Center complex being
developed by the City consisting of a central park, community center, main
branch library, aquatics center, a childrens museum, and a performing arts
center. The aquatics center and community center are currently under
construction.

Approximately 6,200 housing units are planned within 2.5 miles of the Site,
which will be accessible to Amazon via Elk Groves extensive multi-purpose bike
and pedestrian trail system. If constructed, these units would grow the Citys
residential population by approximately 25,000 people, taking the Citys
population from 171,000 to 196,000 by approximately 2025.

As noted above, four separate Study Areas outside the Elk Grove City limits to
the south of the Site, totaling approximately 7,800 acres, are currently being
evaluated for inclusion in the City. If approved by the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) and the City of Elk Grove, these lands would be brought
into the boundaries of Elk Grove and would consist of a mix of uses including
employment centers, commercial, residential, schools, and parks. These Areas
have the potential to add approximately 110,500 additional residents to the

Citys population, surrounding the Site with new complimentary development
on all sides.

Incentives: Four local incentive programs exist that the Project is eligible for, and if selected
the City of Elk Grove has the willingness and ability to negotiate these
incentives, commensurate with the Projects economic impact. The incentives
have a potential value of approximately $280 Million in local financial
assistance. In addition, the City will work with regional and State partners to
bring other State incentives to the table. The following table details the local
incentive package. All amounts are approximate; actual amounts will vary and
are subject to required approvals.

Infrastructure: The City will ensure that all necessary public and private utilities are brought to
the site in time for Amazon Phase I construction to be completed, and all
subsequent phases. The following infrastructure projects in support of SEPA and
the Project are in various stages of planning, design, and construction, totaling
approximately $100 Million.

New Growth Area Infrastructure Project: $25 Million; City and Partner Funded
The City is extending Bilby Road from the west and Big Horn Road from the
northwest. Extended Bilby Road will terminate at the northwest corner of the
Site. In addition to road construction, the project will include road drainage,
trunk drainage, water main, sewer main, and telecom facilities. The project is
currently under construction and will be completed by approximately August
2019. The Developer and the City will work together to extend these facilities to

Amazon HQ2

the appropriate locations on the interior of the Site by the times required for
Amazons Phase I Project, and all subsequent phases.

Sewer Lift Station: $9 Million; City and Partner Funded
The City is constructing a sewer lift station to serve SEPA and the Site. The
project is currently under construction and will be completed by August 2018.

Shed C Drainage Facilities, $10 Million; City and Partner Funded
The City and partners will fund critical drainage facilities along the northern
boundary of the Site and will ensure they are in place to support Amazons
Phase I Project, and all subsequent phases. These facilities are currently in
design and the City is securing Federal permits for the work.

Kammerer Road Extension and Widening Project: $55 Million; City and Partner
Funded
The City and partners will fund the extension and widening of Kammerer Road
to connect Interstate 5 with SR-99 along the Sites southern boundary.
Kammerer Road will be widened from its current two lane configuration to four
lanes, and will include road drainage, trunk drainage, water main, sewer main,
and telecom facilities. Phase I of the project will include a newly widened two
lane connection, and Phase II will include a four lane limited access expressway
connection. If the Site is selected, the City will ensure that Phase I is completed
by December of 2021 and that Phase II is accelerated based on Amazons pace
and intensity of development. Notwithstanding, the current configuration of
Kammerer Road will provide adequate capacity and access to serve Phase I of
the Amazon Project immediately.

Electricity: A high power electric line operated by Sacramento Municipal Utilities District
(SMUD) is in place along Kammerer Road to serve the Site and has sufficient
capacity for Phase I of the Project. The City has identified a location for an
electric substation to serve the full buildout of SEPA, and will work with SMUD
to ensure its delivery to serve subsequent phases of the Amazon Project based
on Amazons pace and intensity of development.

Natural Gas: The City and Developer will work with Elk Groves natural gas provider, Pacific
Gas and Electric, to ensure sufficient capacity is in place at the Site to serve
Phase I of the Project and all subsequent phases based on the pace and intensity
of development.

Transit: The Property is served by an award winning City owned transit system (known
as e-Tran) operating a fleet of modern natural gas powered buses. Due to City
Amazon HQ2
October 10, 2017
Page 9 of 11

ownership of the transit system, the City is in a unique position to easily
approve placement of stops and custom routes to meet Amazons needs inside
and outside of the City limits. If Amazon locates in Elk Grove, the City is
prepared to commence operation of a planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor
connecting the Property with the regional light rail system. The Bus Rapid
Transit system will feature dedicated lanes, signal control and priority, and will
connect to regional light rail at the existing and newly constructed Cosumnes
River College Station at the northern boundary of Elk Grove. The City is finalizing
plans and exploring funding and construction options for a multi-modal station
to connect bus, passenger rail, light rail, BRT, and other modes of transportation
at one centralized location in Elk Grove. The City is also exploring funding and
construction options for bike share facilities throughout the City.

Airport: The Site is well located in proximity to passenger, freight, and executive air
travel services. Sacramento International Airport is located 31.5 miles north of
the Site, a 36-minute drive via I-5, and features direct flights with full US
Customs operations to many major cities, including Seattle, Los Angeles, San
Diego, Baltimore/Washington, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City,
Denver, Minneapolis, New York/New Jersey, Honolulu, and Mexico City.
Stockton Metropolitan Airport is located 40.5 miles south of the Site, a 41-
minute drive via SR-99. Sacramento Executive Airport is located 16.3 miles
north of the Site, a 21-minute drive via I-5.

CEQA Clearance: The Site and SEPA are certified for development of approximately 5,000,000 SF
of office and related uses under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The City has prepared and certified an Environmental Impact Report
and has adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(http://bit.ly/2xhsheQ). Under this certification, Amazon can construct up to
5,000,000 SF of new facilities, which should facilitate construction of Phases I
and II of the Project. Construction above 5,000,000 SF can be accomplished in a
streamlined fashion by augmenting the existing CEQA approvals in concert with
Amazon, based on Amazons pace and intensity of development.

Geotechnical Status: Groundwater levels are approximately 90 to 105 feet. The bearing capacity of
the soils for the intended use will need to be verified. The Site does not lie
within or adjacent to an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zone for fault rupture hazard
and no known active faults or potentially active faults are mapped within or
through the Project area, or the City of Elk Grove.

Flood Risk: The Site is not within a 100-year or 200-year floodplain. Notwithstanding,
significant drainage improvements in the area are planned by the City and are in
the design/permitting stages of development.

Other Events: Damaging weather and other noted events do not occur with any frequency
within 50 miles of the site.

In conclusion, the City of Elk Grove is 100% committed to establishing a long term partnership
with Amazon and to working with you, our Developer and Owners, and the proponents of Amazon HQ2
to facilitate an on-time and on-budget opening of Phase I and all subsequent phases of the Project. As
you know, the Elk Grove City Council and the City administration are steadfast in growing the Citys and
the regions economy and, as such, if selected we are in a position, working with our regional and State
partners, to develop a substantial package of technical assistance and financial incentives proportional
to the capital investment and employment impact of the Project.

I trust the foregoing information is responsive to your RFI, and we look forward to working with
you further on this exciting project. Should there be any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
