Study Area - City of Folsom

Transcription

Chapter 1
Study Area
This chapter presents a detailed overview of the study area that includes the geographic location,
community characteristics, demographic characteristics and transportation access .
Geographic Location
The City of Folsom is located in north-central California about 20 miles east of Sacramento and
approximately 125 miles east of San Francisco . The City is approximately 24 square miles and is
bisected by the American River, which runs diagonally from northeast to southwest . The City is bound
by the Folsom Reservoir (Folsom Lake) to the north, Empire Ranch Road to the east, U .S . Highway 50 to
the south, and Lake Natoma to the southwest. The City limits also extends north of the American River
and encompasses the northwest area bound by the Placer County Line north of Folsom-Auburn Road and
the Baldwin Reservoir, the Sacramento County line west of Santa Juanita Avenue, Greenback Lane to the
south, and the American River to the east.
In 2001, the State LAFCO Commission designated about 3,600 acres of undeveloped land south of U .S .
50 between Prairie City Road, Old White Rock Road and the El Dorado County line as part of the City of
Folsom's sphere of influence (SOI). This area, which is still controlled by Sacramento County, could be
annexed to the City of Folsom in the future . The City of Folsom is building out according to the City's
General Plan, and if current trends continue will be built out by 2010 . The Folsom City Council has
initiated a Visioning Process to solicit extensive public input about the future development of this area.
However, the visioning process - from concept to annexation to development groundbreaking - will more
than likely take at least 10 years to come to fruition . Since this SRTP update covers the five-year period
from 2005 to 2010, the area south of U.S . 50 is beyond the scope of this plan . The City of Folsom study
area for this SRTP update is shown in Figure 1 on page 3 .
Community Characteristics
The City of Folsom has a rich history dating back to the Gold Rush of 1849 and was incorporated in
1946 . Many historic structures dating back to the 19th century can still be found in the Old Town area.
The historical district has been carefully preserved, and continues to be a popular tourist destination .
Over the past decade, the City has grown rapidly along with the greater Sacramento region . With its close
proximity to Sacramento, California's capital city, Folsom is attracting an influx of new residents, many
of who work in the Sacramento area . Folsom is also becoming a city in which residents find their
employment within the community . Many high-tech companies have built large production facilities in
Folsom and industrial growth continues with new business parks and retail expanding throughout the city .
These newcomers are significantly altering the character of the City's population, which used to have a
higher proportion of retirees . Many of the newcomers are families with children, and this is giving the
City more of an orientation toward young families . The City's school district is highly rated and is
expanding to accommodate the growth in student enrollment . Folsom is also proud to have a community
college. The Folsom (Lake) Reservoir and Negro Bar are popular recreational areas for swimming and

boating . Folsom Lake State Park Recreational Area has campgrounds for more family-oriented outdoor
activities.
An adopted general plan notes the family orientation, requiring a minimum of five acres of park land for
each 1,000 residents, and for city co-sponsorship of special activities that involve the entire family . The
City currently has 22 miles of bike trails, with another 10 miles planned to be added during the next fives
years, and a total of 50 miles planned for in the Folsom Bikeway Master Plan. There are four main Class
I bikeway corridors in the City: Humbug-Willow Creek Parkway Corridor, Folsom Parkway Rail Trail,
Oak Parkway Corridor, and the Historic Powerhouse Canal/Folsom Lake Trail . All four of these
corridors provide regional connections throughout the City and serve both recreational and commuter
cyclists . The Folsom Rail Trail and Humbug-Willow Creek Trail provide direct access to the three new
light rail stations being constructed along Folsom Boulevard .
Although the City has the flavor of a small-town community, it does not lack the conveniences of modern
living . Retail centers are conveniently located along the East Bidwell commercial corridor, easily
accessible to local and regional shoppers . Table 1 highlights some of the City of Folsom's community
characteristics .

Demographic Characteristics
The City of Folsom is a suburban, bedroom community of the Greater Sacramento area primarily
comprised of affluent, well-educated, married households with school age children. According to the
U .S . Census 2000, the City of Folsom had the following demographic characteristics :
The median household income in 1999 was $73, 175 and the median family income was $82,448 . Of the
population 25 years and older, 89 percent had a high school diploma or higher, with more than 37 percent
of the population holding Bachelor degrees or higher . Of the population 15 years and older, 61 percent
were married . Over 20 percent of the City's population was under age 15 . More than 66 percent of
Folsom households have access to two or more vehicles .
Population and Household Projections
The City of Folsom's population grew 74 percent, from 29,802 to 51,884 and households more than
doubled from 1900 to 2000. Population growth projections for 2005 estimate the City's total population
to be 67,325 which is about 30 percent greater than 2000 . However, the population projections for the
next five years show a significant decline in growth as the City is nearing residential build-out . By 2010,
Folsom's population is projected to increase only by 4.5 percent to 70,372 and number of households is
estimated to increase by 3 .4 percent to 23,971 . The total population reported in the Census data and
SACOG's projections include approximately 6,500 inmate residents at the Folsom State Prison and
California State Prison facilities located within the City of Folsom. In 2005, the prison population
represents about 10 percent of the City of Folsom's total population . The population projections assume
that the prison population will remain at about 6,500, which exceeds the design capacity for the two
prison facilities . Table 2 shows the City of Folsom population and household projections from 1990 to
2015 .

The City continues to grow at approximately three percent annually and is projected to reach residential
build-out in 2009 and commercial/industrial build-out in 2013 . Based on the types of building permits the
City has issued over the past year, and as the City nears build-out, the number of multi-family building
permits is pro jested to increase while the single-family building permits will decrease . As shown in
Table 5, about 70 percent of the City's residential development will be single-family detached homes, 27
percent will be multi-family attached units, and three percent will be mobile homes.

Folsom continues to be one of the most desirable family-oriented communities to live in the Sacramento
region, and the on-going demand for homes in Folsom and limited supply will continue to influence the
increasing home prices . The impact the housing market has on transit ridership potential is that the
traditionally transit-oriented market is a significantly smaller proportion of the city's population . In
general, transit ridership potential is greater in areas with higher housing densities and easy access to bus
stops that are within one-quarter mile walking distance . Therefore, in planning transit routes, especially
in a suburban, smaller city such as Folsom, it is helpful to know where the multi-family housing
developments are/will be located .
Folsom's Neighborhoods
The City of Folsom offers a variety of home choices ranging from quaint bungalows within walking
distance of Old Town Folsom to spacious, modern ranches and two-stories in suburban neighborhoods .
While the City's population is primarily comprised of families with school-age children, and has many
developments of single-family, detached homes, the available land for residential development is rapidly
approaching build-out . In recent years, many higher density apartment complexes have been built and
several new higher density condominium developments are being built. One thing all of Folsom has in
common, however, is a sense of small-town community . Appendix B includes descriptions of most of
Folsom's neighborhoods .
Employment Characteristics
For many years, the City of Folsom had an economy largely based on the Folsom State Prison "industry,"
which has been in existence for over a century . Recent economic and employment trends have shifted,
however, with Folsom's economic development efforts to plan for commercial and industrial parks. A
number of large, national corporations involved in the research, development and manufacturing of
electronic components have located regional offices and manufacturing facilities in Folsom .
Additionally, several large retail/commercial centers have been completed or are under construction.
Table 6 shows a partial listing of the largest employers in Folsom . Intel Corporation is the largest
employer with approximately 6,500 employees . About one-third of Intel's employees are Folsom
residents, another third reside in the Greater Sacramento Area, and the other third reside in El Dorado and
Placer counties .

Transportation Access
The primary transportation access to Folsom is via U.S . Highway 50, located just south of the City limits
running east-west. Highway 50 provides freeway express to major employment centers located west of
Folsom primarily in Rancho Cordova and Downtown Sacramento; and east of Folsom to the El Dorado
Hills business park and the El Dorado County employment center in Placerville . Access to Highway 50
from the area of Folsom north of the American River was greatly improved when the Lake Natoma
Crossing was opened to traffic in August 1999. Access to jobs north of Folsom in Placer County,
particularly in Roseville, and to Interstate 80 is via Folsom-Auburn Road; Greenback Lane/Madison
Avenue provide access to jobs in Orangevale, Citrus Heights, and Fair Oaks. The south connector to Elk
Grove is the White Rock-Grant Line two-lane, rural roadway accessed from Folsom via East Bidwell
Street to Scott Road or Prairie City Road. The White Rock-Grant Line roadway is included in the Elk
Grove-Rancho Cordova-El Dorado Connector Study, which is examining various alignment alternatives
to improve access and mobility in this corridor .
Folsom Dam Road Closure
In February 2003, the U .S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) closed the Folsom Dam Road (after the
terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2002), citing fears that the bridge was a highly
potential terrorist target . Folsom Dam Road had provided access to Folsom-Auburn Road from East
Natoma Street at Briggs Ranch Drive . As a result of the bridge closure, the City has experienced a
substantial increase in traffic congestion during commute hours on East Natoma Street (east of Briggs
Ranch Drive), Riley Street (north of East Natoma Street over the historic two-lane Rainbow Bridge, and
on Folsom-Auburn Road (north of Riley Street/Greenback Lane). An estimated 18, 000 vehicles cross
the American River daily . Other impacts of the bridge closure include increase in traffic accidents,
declines in retail sales to the Sutter Street merchants and decrease in quality of life to Old Town residents .
The closure of the Folsom Dam Road has continued to have tremendous negative traffic, economic,
public safety and other impacts, and has been a controversial issue between the City of Folsom and the
USBR. City officials have continued efforts to develop a secure plan that would allow the use of the
Folsom Dam Road during commuter hours . The City is continuing to work with surrounding agencies on
a financing plan to re-open the Dam Road during peak hours until the new Bridge is built.
New American River Bridge Project
The City is moving forward with plans to build a new bridge over the American River to be located a few
hundred feet downstream from the Folsom Dam . In 1994, the federal government approved $66 million
in funding for the new bridge but this money still needs to be appropriated . The $66 million would cover
the cost to build a two-lane bridge, but the City is looking at upgrading this structure to four lanes plus
bike lanes that would require additional local funding . Potential funding sources include the
transportation tax (Measure A Renewal) recently approved by Sacramento County voters, as well as cost
sharing by Placer and El Dorado counties, whose residents will be heavy users of the crossing. The City
will be working with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments to explore other funding sources .
The U .S. Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of preparing the environmental documentation
required for the bridge . The City is optimistic that the new bridge will be constructed and open to traffic
by December 2007.
