Railyards Specific Plan Update, KP Medical Center, MLS Stadium, & Stormwater Outfall Subsequent EIR

The City of Sacramento has authorized the development of up to five digital LED billboards within the Sacramento Railyards Specific Plan Area as part of a broader mixed-use redevelopment initiative. These billboards, featuring an LED-through-hole design with a nineteen-millimeter pixel pitch, are strategically located along Interstate 5, at the 5th and 6th Streets rail crossings, the 7th Street/B Street intersection, and a relocated sign at the Stanford and Stevens Street driveway entrance to the Central Shops Plaza. The project is governed by a 34-year Master Lease Agreement between the City and Downtown Railyard Venture, LLC, which includes an early termination clause contingent upon the developer’s adherence to approved project build-out standards. While the broader Railyards initiative encompasses the construction of a 12,000-seat soccer stadium, a medical campus, residential and commercial lots, and associated infrastructure, the digital signage component is a distinct element tied to the environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act. The project received environmental approval through a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and associated mitigation measures, with no formal federal contract clauses, pricing structures, or procurement evaluation factors present, indicating that this is a land use entitlement and lease arrangement rather than a competitive federal acquisition. All activities occur within the designated Railyards area, bounded by major Sacramento corridors and transportation arteries, and administrative oversight is managed through the City’s Planning Division and Development Services Department, with key contacts serving as applicant and agency liaisons. Financial transactions related to the project involve environmental review fees and direct payments to state agencies such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, but no federal accounting codes, invoicing systems, or standardized contract administration roles are specified.
