Abstract: The C. J. Evans collection primarily consists of Sacramento regional planning documents gathered by C. Jeffrey Evans during
the course of his work as a government planner. The bulk of the collection is made up of planning reports related to communities
in Sacramento County (1965-1998), with a smaller amount of planning reports for Riverside County (1989), Solano County (1973-1989),
and Yolo County (1989), plus material documenting the Natomas Community Association (1985-1995). The material in this collection
helps trace the development of the Sacramento region, and also documents the changing trends in planning and increasingly
rigorous requirements of environmental impact reports.
