General Plan for the city of Folsom

Folsom's General Plan is a long term policy guide for the physical, economic and environment growth of the City. It is comprised of goals, policies and implementation programs which are based on an assessment of current and future needs and available resources.

California State Law requires each City and County to adopt a General Plan "for the physical development of the City or County, and any land outside its boundaries which ..... bears relation to its planning ( Government Code Section 65300)."

The role of each community's General Plan is to act as a "constitution" for the development, the foundation upon which all land use decisions are made. It expresses community development goals and embodies public policy relative to the distribution of future land use, both public and private( General Plan Guidelines, June 1987.OPR). The Plan is to be used by the local decision-makers as a visionary document, a "Blueprint" for the City's future growth and development.

The role of Intel in the growth of Natoma Station Dr

Twenty years ago Intel Corp. broke ground on a remote prairie on the outskirts of Folsom and altered the regional landscape in ways that no one at the time could have imagined.
A handful of company officials and local dignitaries attended the ceremony on May 24, 1984, surrounded by 236 acres of rolling grassland that Intel had purchased for a satellite campus.
Folsom was then a small, isolated town, its economy dominated by a maximum-security prison. Sacramento, a 20-minute drive to the west on Highway 50, was a sedate government town.
It was nothing like the Silicon Valley, Intel's home base, which by the early 1980s had become the fast-paced capital of the high-tech world. And that's just what Intel's location scout had in mind.
Within a year, Intel had two four-story office buildings, FM1 and FM2, on the Folsom site north of Highway 50, and a few hundred employees. There was plenty of room to grow, and grow it did.

The builders as people remember were US Builders, Lexington Homes, Kaufman & Broad, and Richmond American,( most of these builders are now out of business. )That is why there are a number of different styles throughout the development.

The history of Folsom

Folsom has rich historic past. The tribes, the Nisenan Maidu Indians, who roamed here lived peacefully until the intruders came and changed the demography of the region. In 1827, Jedediah Smith led a group of trappers through the area. His search for a pass over the Sierra Nevada's opened up the land to trappers and traders drawing the attention of John Sutter and William A. Leidesdorff. In 1842, the latter was granted 35,000 acres along the American River called "The Rancho Rio de los Americanos."
