Measure M
Measure M is an advisory measure intended to provide the Board of Supervisors with an indication of how the citizens of Sutter County feel about the types and level of development in the area of the South Sutter County Industrial / Commercial Reserve ( Sample Ballot*). On November 2, 2004 Measure M was approved with 59% of the voters voting for the measure. This website is dedicated to providing the public with information related to the implementation of Measure M.

Status

Since the spring of 2007, the Measure M developer group has been making revisions to the Sutter Pointe Specific Plan, preparing master plan documents and an environmental impact report. These documents will be submitted to Sutter County for peer review and once complete; will be presented to the public for comment. Below are copies of the most recent land-use and phasing plans. Additional information will be forthcoming and will be posted to this website. (Updated October 18, 2007)

On March 29, 2007, Sutter County issued a Notice of Preparation for a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Sutter Pointe Specific Plan. A complete copy of the Notice of Preparation can be found here:

On June 27, 2006, the Sutter County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 06-048 authorizing the County Administrative Officer to execute a contract on behalf of the County with EIP Associates to perform peer review on development applications in the “Measure M” area.

On January 31, 2006, the Board of Supervisors accepted General Plan Amendment Application No. 06-02 filed by the Measure M Group and directed staff to process it. Although the application was signed by property owners controlling roughly 6,400 acres, the Board initiated a General Plan Amendment covering additional lands to increase the development area to roughly 7,360 acres.

It is anticipated that a Specific Plan application will be submitted during the spring of 2006. That application will provide greater project detail and include components for zoning, infrastructure such as roads, utilities, schools, flood control, as well as project financing. The applicant is also preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) covering both the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan applications which will be submitted for review. The County plans to retain consultant services at the expense of the applicant to complete peer review of both the project and the EIR. Once the review process has been completed, the project will be scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission for their consideration after receiving public comment. The Planning Commission will provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors who will consider the matter and take final action after addition opportunity for public comment.
