Doing my usual library research through the Chain Store Age archives, I found some more info on this mall in the May 1961 issue (page E58).
The then-proposed site took over the old Sacramento Sky Ranch general aviation airport (something I already knew about), and specifically was owned by Broadway-Hale Stores of Los Angeles (the forerrunner to Carter-Hawley-Hale).
Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, Hale Brothers' first store was actually in Sacramento.
