PURPOSE
The intent of these guidelines is to ensure that buildings and sites within Riverpoint
Marketplace share common design elements such as materials and colors, maintain a
harmonious relationship with the surrounding area and enhancement of the City of West
Sacramento. These guidelines provide for an overall coordinated development and provide
tenant flexibility for use, product type and preferences.
LOCATION
Riverpoint Marketplace is three miles from the intersection of two of the most important and
busiest interstate highways in America Interstate 5 and Interstate 80. Riverpoint
Marketplace is adjacent to Interstate 80 in the City of West Sacramento California.
Riverpoint Marketplace is located in a swath of predominantly commercial/industrial and
freeway-oriented commercial uses lining Interstate 80, in the northwest quadrant of the City
of West Sacramento.
The Riverpoint Marketplace is bounded by Interstate 80 on the west, Reed Road on the
north, Harbor Boulevard on the east and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the south.
THE PROJECT
Riverpoint Marketplace is a comprehensively planned destination retail center approximately
81 acres in size. Riverpoint Marketplace anticipates approximately 800,000 square feet (s.f.)
of nationally and internationally known large and medium-sized retail stores as well as
individually-owned and chain restaurants. This 800,000 S.F. of space excludes an existing
office building and two existing gas station/restaurant uses at Reed Avenue and Riverpoint
Circle.
New development proposed for Riverpoint Marketplace will be anchored by IKEA. Another
large format user may be located adjacent to IKEA and, optionally, a third large format
retailer may be located within the center.
The architectural style and theme of IKEA establishes the design flavor of Riverpoint
Marketplace. The use of bold planes and saturated colors meets Central Valley traditions,
climate and preferences in creating a new Valley landmark. Contributing to patron comfort
are generous numbers of parking lot and pedestrian way shade trees; providing relief on hot
bright Valley summer days.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PD 45 STANDARDS
The City of West Sacramentos existing Riverpoint Planned Development #45 (PD-45)
governs development within Riverpoint Marketplace. The stated purpose of PD-45 is to
create an attractive and convenient commercial retail center that will draw commerce to
West Sacramento. PD-45 regulates the development of all uses within Riverpoint as a
companion to the City of West Sacramento General Plan and Zoning Ordinances.
The Riverpoint Marketplace Design Guidelines, upon adoption by the City of West
Sacramento, serve as the means of implementing the amended PD-45 Standards adopted
by the Citys Planning Commission in August 2004.
As per the PD-45 amendments approved 8/05/04, additional traffic studies are required prior
to the issuance of a building permit for construction over 700,000 s.f.
CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL
PROCESS
Applicants requesting approvals of development projects within Riverpoint Marketplace are
required to file an application with the City of West Sacramento and successfully complete
the design review process. Once a project has been given design review approval, the
applicant may then apply for building permits provided that the project is a permitted use.
The Community Development Director serving as the Design Review Administrator or his
staff is authorized to perform design review in PD-45. The process for design review shall be
as provided in Section 17.69 of the Citys Zoning Ordinance.
Uses, which are listed as permitted in Appendix A of these guidelines, shall not be required
to obtain a conditional use permit. Applicants requesting land uses not approved for PD-45
(See Appendix A) must initiate a Planned Development Permit Amendment that entails
approvals from the City of West Sacramento Planning Commission.
AMENDING THE GUIDELINES
The Citys Design Review Administrator has the authority to grant minor adjustments to the
Riverpoint Marketplace Design Guidelines. These minor adjustments provide for the
inclusion of new materials, changes in landscape palette, variations in building sizes,
parking lot configuration, minor signage changes and driveway locations. These changes do
not require an amendment of the Riverpoint Marketplace Design Guidelines.
Significant changes to the Guidelines or the Guidelines intent require an amendment to the
Riverpoint Marketplace Design Guidelines. The City of West Sacramento Planning
Commission must approve amendments to the Riverpoint Marketplace Design Guidelines.

CENTER ARCHITECTURE AND SPECIFIC DESIGN AREAS
PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose of the following architectural design guidelines is to foster a consistent and
aesthetically pleasing development of high quality architecture that encourages diversity
within a consistent architectural vocabulary. This vocabulary is based on contemporary
European expression, tempered by traditional Central Valley architectural idioms.
Simple forms with bold planes of color, texture and raw materials promoting a timeless
sense of establishment and permanence characterize this vocabulary. Buildings will also
establish a relationship with the surrounding landscape to provide patron comfort and relief
on hot bright Valley summer days.
Generally, no attempt should be made to establish themes that try to literally reproduce an
historic style, i.e. Spanish, Western, etc. Restaurants on pad sites may incorporate
primary elements of their national branding themes, subject to overall review by the Design
Review Administrator, provided that the architecture of the pad maintains a majority of the
architectural vocabulary of the center.
BUILDING ORIENTATION AND VISIBILITY
Visibility from the freeway and surrounding streets is important to the City of West
Sacramento. Each structure shall be sited to offer views to and from adjacent streets and
pedestrian areas. This shall be accomplished by siting of buildings so that the front entry is
visible from at least one street or primary drive aisle and insuring that sides of buildings
visible
