Site & Parcel Information

Understanding the Property

This gallery highlights the physical characteristics of the Norwood Studios Live & Work site and surrounding area that are relevant to current planning and evaluation.

Exhibits may include:

  • Parcel boundaries
  • Aerial imagery
  • Existing site conditions
  • Access and circulation points
  • Adjacent properties and surrounding land uses
  • Infrastructure and utility context
  • Other site features affecting redevelopment planning

Located along the Norwood Avenue corridor in North Sacramento, the property is situated within an established area that includes neighborhood-serving commercial activity, nearby residential uses, schools, employment areas, and transportation connections.

These exhibits are intended to provide geographic and planning context and may be updated as additional survey, engineering, infrastructure, and land-use information becomes available.

Existing Property & Businesses

Established Neighborhood Businesses and Ongoing Commercial Activity

This gallery highlights the existing businesses and commercial activity currently operating on the property.

The site continues to serve the North Sacramento community through established neighborhood-serving businesses while Norwood Studios Live & Work remains in predevelopment and due diligence.

These businesses reflect the property’s longstanding role in supporting local entrepreneurship, providing neighborhood services, and maintaining ongoing commercial activity.

Current redevelopment planning is being evaluated with consideration for existing business operations, tenant coordination, site conditions, access, and the long-term relationship between the existing commercial uses and the proposed redevelopment.

Any future changes affecting existing businesses will be addressed through subsequent planning and tenant coordination.

Visualizing the Future of Norwood Studios Live & Work

Conceptual Planning and Project Advancement

This gallery presents conceptual renderings, planning exhibits, and project-progress materials created to illustrate possible directions for Norwood Studios Live & Work.

The images explore potential approaches to site layout, housing, live/work space, community-serving uses, open space, construction methods, and other design concepts under evaluation.

These materials are intended to support discussion with qualified development professionals, consultants, public agencies, and potential strategic partners during the project’s predevelopment process.

All renderings, layouts, building forms, amenities, and site concepts are preliminary and do not represent a final or approved development plan.

Conceptual materials may change as professional planning, engineering, financial feasibility, and regulatory review progress.

Conceptual Architectural Vision

This conceptual architectural exhibit illustrates one potential development approach for **Norwood Studios Live & Work** on **Parcel 26**. The preliminary vision includes workforce-oriented studio residences, live/work units, community-serving spaces, shared gathering areas, parking and circulation, and potential retention of **Sanchez Taqueria**. The exhibit also identifies surrounding parcels, adjacent residential properties, the existing storm-drain easement, access points, and other site-planning considerations. All layouts, building locations, unit counts, parking assumptions, amenities, construction methods, and project features remain conceptual, are **not to scale**, and may change through survey, engineering, financial feasibility, regulatory review, and future project planning.
