corridor. We strive to make Stockton Blvd

a desirable place for all who live, work,

ELGIN BRADLEY, CHAIR

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In 2018, the Stockton Boulevard Partnership completed seventeen successful

years as a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID). During this time

the SBP Board of Directors and Staff have brought in over 90 million dollars

of economic development projects to the area, including the 23 million

dollar streetscape median improvement project in 2006, assisting in property

development projects estimated at 85 million, and, last but not least, using

our own funds to complete community based projects along the boulevard.

Staff continues to work with many of our partners to bring economic change

to the boulevard. In 2018, the SBP worked with the City of Sacramento to

provide match funds for a transportation study grant provided by CalTrans.

The grant was awarded to the City of Sacramento and will provide

approximately 500 thousand dollars in funding for a transportation study

which has been named the Stockton Blvd. Complete Streets Project. The

comprehensive complete streets study will look at the 4 mile stretch of

Stockton Blvd. from Alhambra Blvd. to 47th Avenue, currently characterized

by speeding automobiles and frequent collisions. The corridor connects

some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Sacramento to the

primary employment center in the Central City, passing through retail nodes

in need of revitalization. It is a high priority for the city, neighborhoods, and

elected officials to improve multi-modal safety of this corridor and transform

any detriments into assets. As more information regarding workshops dates

and community input opportunities becomes available, we will update our

website and send notices to those on our email list.

As a part of the economic redevelopment charter, the Board and staff

closely monitor development along the boulevard. Our staff continues to

work with area commercial real-estate brokers, commercial developers, and

business owners to encourage economic activity in the corridor. The Board of

Directors and staff are excited about the opportunities arising on our corridor,

announcing several new developments that will emerge over the next few

years. Those developments include the new Smart and Final Extra and Ross

Retailer located at 5628 Stockton Blvd., a new CVS and a Starbucks at 5625

Stockton Blvd., a new storage facility at the south end of the of the corridor,

and--last but not least-- the transformation of the old Greenbrier Hotel into a

beautiful new boutique style hotel called the Greens on Stockton Blvd.

ADVOCACYActing as the business advocate, the Stockton Boulevard

Partnership staff attended more than 200 meetings in 2018

representing PBID property owners. Some of those meetings,

including those with the City Council, the County Supervisors,

Sacramento City and Sacramento Economic Development

Departments, and meetings with individual property owners,

dealt with issues such as code enforcement, streetscape

improvements, neighborhood services, security and safe-

ty,homelessness, and prostitution abatement.

In early 2018 the SBP launched the SBP App, embracing new

communication technology to help business and property

owners as well as community members stay engaged and

connected. The app provides several useful tools to assist in

reporting issues such as illegal dumping, abandoned vehi-

cles, graffiti, and any other issues that need attention . The

app was designed so that staff can assist with abating issues

quickly and efficiently, while communicating effectively with

the community. Other cool tools include a business directory,

business resources, and meeting and event notifications.

Our annual Boulevard Directory got a facelift in 2018. We

updated the look and feel of the directory and added cool

new information about the history of the boulevard. The

directory includes listings of all businesses that are located

within our district boundaries, as well as low-cost ad space

for those who are interested.

Cap-to-Cap: For nearly 50 years, the Sacramento Metro

Chamber has led a delegation of business, civic, and polit-

ical representatives from the six-county Sacramento region

to Washington, D.C., to meet with our federal representatives

to collectively promote the Capital Region, safeguard our

resources, and discuss priority initiatives. For months leading

up to the trip, participants work together to identify key prior-

ity issues and to ensure that discussions with Administration

and Congressional representatives have a unified vision and

mission. In 2018 Stockton Blvd. was represented among those

leaders, and as a part of the delegation we were able to

bring our issues to the attention of National leaders.

In 2018 the Stockton Blvd. Partnership hosted the 1st Annual

Business Breakfast. The breakfast was designed to give our

property and business owners an opportunity to voice con-

cerns and to hear helpful information about things transpir-

ing on the boulevard. Attendees learned about the benefits

of the new Stockton Blvd. Partnership app, heard from SMUD

Representatives about rebate programs, and heard from

District 5 Council Member Jay Schenirer and District

6 Council Member Eric Guerra. The event was so

successful that we decided to bring this opportuni-

ty to our property and business owners every year.

As the unified voice of the Stockton Blvd property

owners, SBP Staff and Board Members testified with

City of Sacramento District 6 Council Member Eric

Guerra and California State Senator Richard Pan at

the Assembly Housing and Economic Development

Committee in support of SB 481, a bill sponsored

by Senator Pan, that will assist in revitalizing the

Stockton Blvd. corridor and open opportunities for

affordable housing at what is known as the San

Juan Motel site, located at 5728 Stockton Blvd.

We are always looking for opportunities to

promote the business corridor, and in 2018 The

Stockton Blvd Partnership staff and board mem-

bers attended the UC Davis Health Systems “Thank

Goodness for Employees” event to promote our

district, handing out over 1000 business directories

to employees. The day was filled with fun handing

out raffle prizes which included gift certificates to

businesses along the boulevard. Special “thank

you” to the following businesses who provided raffle

prizes for the event: Beck’s Shoes, Oba Kitchen,

Happy Garden, King Palace, Asian Pearl, Pho Sai-

gon Bay, Lotus Casino, Vinh Phat Supermarket, and

Pho Xe Lua.

SERVICES & PROGRAMS

Community Development Programs in 2018

The STOCKTON BLVD PARTNERSHIP CREATED THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

CORPORATION (SBCDC) in late 2016 with the purpose of engaging in economic

development activities that lead to and promote community revitalization in

the Stockton Blvd. Commercial corridor. These activities will facilitate economic

growth by increasing the tax base, job development, business retention, economic

diversification, productive use of property, and raising the overall quality of life for

those who live in the community.

The SPCDC is forging ahead with its BLOCK BY BLOCK PROGRAM, which aims to

identify and assess blocks with high crime statistics, chronic homelessness, prostitution

issues, and extreme blight by using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

(CPTED). By addressing specific issues such as lighting, security, trash clean up, graffiti,

facade updates, and code issues, the program will enhance Stockton Boulevard’s

physical environment, reduce criminal activity, and encourage a safe environment

for businesses to thrive and residents and patrons to live, work, and play. In 2018 with

10 thousand dollars in funding provided by SMUD’s “Shine Award,” the Block by Block

Program successfully identified 8 properties and completed 4 lighting projects, 2

murals, and 2 parking lot restriping projects to make them ADA compliant, as well

as trimmed back overgrown landscaping. With as little as a 10 thousand dollar

investment, we encouraged property owners to invest in their property by using their

own funds as a match, thus yielding property improvements in our corridor worth

more than 60 thousand dollars.

Some of our greatest accomplishments of 2018 were those that engaged the

community who support our business corridor. The SBCDC was able to utilize funds

to create local events such as the expansion of the Stockton Blvd Partnership’s

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT event, which hosted over 200 local residents, local elected

officials, and our police and fire departments. Residents were encouraged to meet

one another while enjoying music and food and gathering information from local

organizations. We were also fortunate to partner with Walgreens on Stockton Blvd to

hand out 100 backpacks filled with school supplies to local school aged children.

The SBCDC also created the first annual SAFE TRICK-OR-TREAT WALK which brought

over 300 residents out with children to enjoy a day of games, trackless train rides,

pumpkin painting, and a business trick or treat event, and not to forget the costume

parade and contest.

BEFORE AFTER

IMAGE & MAINTENANCE

The Stockton Blvd Partnership continues to contract with the SBP Maintenance

Crew headed by Hilary Gould, a former County Neighborhoods Services

Representative, to control litter and graffiti and to improve the overall

appearance of our district. This much-needed service helps keep the

sidewalks, curbs, and gutters clean from litter and illegally dumped items

such as mattresses, chairs, bikes, and other debris. The crew is responsible for

removing thousands of shopping carts, illegal dumps, and large items since

2007. While PBID funds are allocated to keep the public right-of-way clean,

staff worked with the SBP maintenance team to develop a low-cost illegal

dumping cleanup service for private property owners. If you need illegal

dumps removed from your property give out office a call to learn more about

the low cost program.

Nearly 15 years ago the Stockton Blvd. Partnership purchased 26 trash

receptacles which were placed along our business corridor. The cans served

the corridor well but became severely weathered from their years on the

boulevard. Last year, SBP Board of Directors decided it was time to replace our

cans. With the help of the Sacramento County Solid Waste Authority we were

able to replace the old cans with shiny new black trash receptacles. The new

cans are larger in size and have an anti-rummaging feature to keep people

from pulling trash from the cans.

On May 19, 2018 the Stockton Blvd Partnership and the Stockton Blvd

Community Development Corporation teamed up with community members

and students from the Sacramento Police Department Junior Cadet Program

to clean up the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the Stockton Blvd business

corridor. This year was a huge success with over 50 volunteers removing two

truck and trailer loads of debris from the public right-of-way. A special shout out

to our sponsors who provided funds to purchase free t-shirts, breakfast, lunch

and supplies for our volunteers.

Maintenance Success

Security Report

SECURITYThe SBP security patrol continues to be instrumental in reducing area crime.

The Paladin Security team is now on the Boulevard over 70 hours per week

which amounts to over 7,000 man hours per year. On many occasions the

SBP security has provided valuable information to the Sacramento City Police

and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s officials that resulted in the immediate

apprehension of suspects. The Stockton Boulevard Partnership continues to

keep the business corridor safe for property owners, employees, and customers

in the area.

Continuing through 2018, the very successful monthly S.O.S. (Safety on

Stockton) meetings, held every first Thursday in the SBP Conference room,

provide an opportunity for property and business owners to speak directly

with law enforcement officials about specific issues at their respective

locations. This is also a forum for different agencies in the area to coordinate

enforcement efforts. Attendees include Sacramento City and County

neighborhood services representatives, code enforcement officials,

representatives from SMUD, staff from City Council and County Supervisor

offices, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, Sacramento Police

Department, and the Sacramento County D.A.

As a way to combat crime the Stockton Blvd Partnership encourages property

and business owners to design out crime by implementing Crime Prevention

Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies. Last year, the Stockton

Blvd Partnership Staff participated in a 40 hour CPTED course to further our

knowledge about the techniques used in order to pass our knowledge on to

those located in our district boundaries. CPTED (pronounced “sep-ted” and

known by various other names or labels around the world, e.g., Designing Out

Crime) is a multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through

environmental design. These strategies rely upon the ability to influence

offender decisions that precede criminal acts by affecting the built, social, and

administrative environment.

SBP continues to financially support the Community Against Sexual Harm

Program (C.A.S.H.), a prostitution abatement project. With our support the

C.A.S.H. program can rent a space for a Drop-in-Center. Open three days a

week, the program provides street level prostitutes resources to assist them

in getting off the street. The women are given hygiene packets, a hot meal

and positive encouragement--from former street level prostitutes. Outreach to

“working girls” is done several hours a week along Stockton Blvd. This positive

program gives business owners a solution to solicitation occurring in front of

their property. Business owners can contact the SBP to report such activity. SBP

Staff will forward submissions directly to the program for outreach workers to

contact the individual/s and submit a report to local law enforcement.

Our positive relationship with local law enforcement decision-makers allows

the SBP, with great success, to keep consistent pressure on criminal elements in

our District. These are just some of the ways the PBID helps eliminate nuisances

and make positive changes towards a safe environment for our employees,

customers, and residents to live, work and play.
