Future of the Fifth & C urban farm and Three Sisters Gardens lease
West Sacramento
Summary
The city must decide whether to give Three Sisters Gardens a 10-year free lease to build permanent farm facilities, lease at market rate (~$2,000/month), or keep the month-to-month status quo. The half-acre lot is zoned for mixed-use housing and sits on a prominent corner near the new I Street Bridge, making it a potential infill housing site.

Impact analysis
A free 10-year lease would forgo roughly $2,000 a month in potential rent, while the farm provides an estimated 40,000+ pounds of produce and youth job training annually.
Three Sisters Gardens, the youth it trains and employs, and hundreds of residents who receive its produce would benefit from lease stability.
Future housing development on the site could be precluded for a decade or more if the long-term lease is granted.
