That acreage is aboutt one-third larger than the city of Ranchp Cordova. But alongside thosd acres of new development, the Genera l Plan 2030 also calls for21st century-styld growth by rerouting some development to infill sites as well as to decayin and underutilized commercial corridors. The plan anticipates the unincorporatex portions of the county willneed 99,70p0 new homes over the next 20 about 50,000 more than can be accommodatedr within its existing urbanm area. The proposed general plan was firsft presented Monday to officials atSacramentl County’s Planning Commission. It ultimatelh must be approved by the Boardof Supervisors.
The plan has been seven years in the Much has changed during that including the proliferation of sustainable the region’s blueprint for “smart and the rise and devastating fall of the housint bubble. It may be an onerous task for stafg to mull decades of population and economic growth at a time when no one is buildingynew homes, shopping centers or But just as landowners have been using the downtime to plan for a returnj of the construction market, planners have been anticipatinf growth patterns over the long haul.
“One thingf we’re trying to champion is completd communities with a mix of developmentand (to) integrates uses as much as possible,” planner Davif DeFanti said. “That means a diversity of housing, transportation, retail.” The proposesd general plan followsthe region’s blueprint for smartr growth that values infill and eschews leapfrob development. Principal planner Leighanbn Moffitt said it does not ask official s to expandthe county’s urban services boundary, which is a near-sacrosancty border established in 1993 between urbabn and rural land.
But it does envisionn expandingthe county’s urban policy a line that markx the existing urban-rural divide and occasionall shifts farther out from the urban core. Theree are two main new growth areas under this both withmultiple landowners. The first comprises 12,009 acres of industrial and agricultural land along the Jackson Highwayu corridor between Sacramento andRancho Cordova. It includes mining propertyg owned by the Teichert group ofcompanies that’s envisioned to be developed into new communitiew as mining operations wind down. The second area of growthy consistsof 8,000 acres of primarily grazinvg land east of Granf Line Road bordering Rancho Cordova.
Prominent land developer controlsabout 2,400 acres of that propertyy and was the first to propose a new community there. Last Conwy submitted an application for an expansive set of villaged and other development that includesa full-scale residentiapl campus for the . “There was an initial concer n this isleapfrog development, but we are contiguousa to existing development,” said Michelle a spokeswoman for Conwy, noting that the project borders Rancho Cordova’s Sunrise-Douglas Community Plan. A groundbreaking for the university was originally expected next year but that has been pushedfto 2011, Smira said.
In accordance with the county’s blueprintf for smart growth, General Plan 2030 directs some growth toinfilkl sites. These include parcels near the former McClellan Air Baseand under-user sites in the county’s 14 commercial corridors. Moffity said the transformation of McClellamn into a business park has openede up areas of developmen that previously had been restricted due to noise andsafety concerns. The areaws being considered near the base are west of Watt Before the realestate downturn, developers had been proposinv projects in that she said.
Perhaps the most unconventionalk aspect of the proposed Genera Plan is the decision to revitalizecommercial corridors, such as stretches of Watt Avenu e and Folsom Boulevard. County staff estimated the plan could allo anadditional 19,000 homes along those That would eliminate the need to put those homesd on agricultural land. Smaller parcels scattered throughouyt the county could accommodate thousandsmore homes. Planning for four of the commercial corridors alreadhhas started, principal plannedr Tricia Stevens said. The idea is to revamp restrictive zoning and allowmixed uses, includinbg homes and apartments, in areas that previouslyt were limited to strip centers.
The count also plans to make the corridorxs more attractive by burying utility planting vegetation and enhancingthe streetscapes. Although cash is tight at the Stevens said funding will come from grante and redevelopment money generated through taxes inredevelopment zones.

I respect his passionj for Mr. Balsillie, his passion for hockey and his directness inhis approach.” Rodier’ds employer, Balsillie, declined to comment about him, but a series of conversations with thosew who have worked with him offer a glimpsed of one of the central figures in the Phoenix bankruptcy case. The case will resume with arguments about relocationJune 9. Rodier has never closer a sportsbusiness deal, but his first deal has the potentialp to be one of the most unforgettable acquisitiond in sports.
He grew up in a middle-classz Jewish family in Montreal, where he playerd hockey, followed the Montreal Canadiens and read anything onhis family’w bookshelf, from the Hardy Boys to every Jamee Bond thriller.

He served as the billionaire’s adviser in negotiationsz for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2006 and the Nashvillee Predatorsin 2007.
It was Rodier who told NHL Commissionert Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly in late 2006 that Balsillide would not agree toa seven-yea non-relocation covenant outlined in the league’s transfer of ownership papers for the Penguins, and it was Rodier who helpesd manage the season-ticket depositsw in Hamilton for the Predatorsx in June 2007. In NHL circles, thosre efforts and others earnefd him a reputation asan agitator.
At a 2008 sportx business conference in Toronto runby then-Anaheij Ducks General Manager Brian Burke, several people in attendancre recount a tense momenty when Rodier posed an antitrusf question to Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment President Richard Peddiew at the end of a paneol session. “Why, if I’m in the city of can’t I watch the Ottawa Senators?” Rodief asked. “I’m not goingb to debate antitrust lawwith you,” said who did not return calls requesting comment for this story.

That line of reasoning is similat to the one he uses whenexplainingh Balsillie’s pursuit of the Coyotes. Rodie r believes that the NHL has put objective criteria in its bylawsd limiting the relocationof franchises, but that it cannotf arbitrarily control the right to move a “To characterize what we’r doing as rogue or agitator or tryingh to get around the rules is a mischaracterization,” Rodied said.

For Boeing, 'not bad' is good at Paris Air Show - bizjournals:

On the second day of the world’s oldesf and most important aircraft trade Boeing was againshut out. At least its chieft rival, , hasn’t done much though the European aircraft makere was able to eke out a couplre of orders the lasttwo days. Rather than talk about the kinds of multi-plane deals lined up in past years, Boeing CEO of Commerciakl Airplanes Scott E. Carson instead chose to focus on howthing weren’t as bad as they mighr seem. “At this point it appears to us that the economic conditionshave bottomed,” Carson said, addinyg that the company’s commercial jet division could begin growinvg again as early as 2010.
-- The long-delayed 787 Dreamliner will fly bythe (though it won’rt be taking to the skies over Parias this week, as some had Jon Ostrower, of pegs the date for the first flighg at June 30. He cite s multiple sources for the June30 -- Its new 747-u8 freighter plane will fly its first flight by the end of this -- To get back into the hunt for a $35 billion contract to supply fuel tankers for the U.S. military, Boeingy will reconfigure its 777 to increase fuel It had previously lost its tanker bid to the A350by -- Also on the defense contractingv front, the company it was formingf a division to oversee its unmanned aircraff programs.
This year’s air show come at a gloomy timefor aircraft. Both Boeing and Airbuw have had to deal with cancellationx of ordersfrom credit-crunched And both have had production But Boeing has had the additionao by its machinists within the last year. The companyh has taken hits to its militarycontracting business, with the cancellation of the F-22 and the loss of the tanker And delays in getting its next-generation 787 Dreamline r into the air have been a high-profile So it was up to Carson to search out the positive.
He said his compan would not be cutting back assembly lines this It will cut productionj ofits wide-body 777 by 28 perceng in mid-2010, and will not increase 767 and 747 Airbus has cut production of its A320 single aisld plane and its A380 superjumbo, and has shelvec plans to increase production of its wide-bodyt A330. Carson said he expects the credig crunch on airlines to ease towarda “morwe normal” environment in 2010. That would be good news for and itsrival Airbus, as Boeing’s boss also said that the companyh has a current ordedr book of around $265 which means seven years of and Carson said he doesn’t expect the credirt crisis to significantly affect that.
Some aerospacee experts already see the logivcbehind Carson’s pitch. “Boeing’s news was to say we thinm the recession’s bottoming and we’re not going to see cuts for saidWayne Plucker, Frost & Sullivan’s Aerospace Defense Industry Manager. “The fact that they didn’g have to quietly announce cancellations was abig thing. It’zs not a bad airshow considerinv the gloom anddoom that’s been around the industry for the last For Boeing, it’s not bad, and not bad is so to speak.
” Plucker addecd that good, or at least not bad, news on the commerciall side of the business, would be a welcomd relief, given some of the defeat that Boeing has been handed in its military contractinv business – the loss of the tanker contracg to the Airbus consortium and the high-profilre curtailment of government plans to buy more F-22 “Heaven only knows, they could use some good news,” Plucker “Their defense side has taken a real drubbing.
