Part 1: Why the Proposed Housing Goal

The State requires the City of Sacramento to accommodate and plan for 45,580 new housing units by 2029, including 17,000 housing units that are affordable to lower-income residents.

To that end, the City through its Housing Element 2021-29 proposes a major change in land use zoning to address historic inequities in housing affordability and accessibility that often resulted from government policies of exclusion and racial segregation.

Speaker:

• Greg Chew – Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG): Regional Housing Needs – Overview

Part 2: How To Achieve the Housing Goal

The City of Sacramento proposes that all properties currently zoned R-1 (single-family) throughout the city will be rezoned to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in addition to the already permitted two ADU’s (auxiliary dwelling units) per property. The result could be as many as six units on existing single-family and vacant lots.

Speakers:

• Matt Hertel – City of Sacramento: Overview of the City’s proposed Housing Element 2021-29 and Rezoning

• William Burg – Preservation Sacramento: How might General Plan 2040 impact historic neighborhoods?

• Chris Jones – Colonial Heights Neighborhood Assn.: City Strategies that Work To Meet Housing Goals

• Kirk Vyverberg – Land Park Community Assn.: Community Alternatives To Rezoning

• Jay Schenirer – District 5, City Councilman: Summary of City Council Position

Affiliated Neighborhood residents are invited to attend and learn more. This forum follows two webinars held last year exploring historic housing inequities in Curtis Park and Sacramento. SCNA conditionally supports the housing proposal but requests the city provide a stronger rationale on how the stated housing goals will be achieved through the proposed R1 Zone change.

This forum is a chance to learn more and form your own opinion.

There will be 30 minutes for Q & A following the speaker presentations.
