[No2rezone] Stop Upzoning: April 3 forum, April 6 Housing Element at City Council, April 15 forum

Fri Apr 2 17:26:45 PDT 2021

This is the most ridiculous idea I’ve heard in a long time.  Can someone tell me exactly who proposed this mess?  And which City Council members support it?  I’d like to give all those people some attention in the form of emails, phone calls, whatever!

>> The city of Sacramento is drafting a General Plan, including the Housing Element, to take effect in 2022. This plan proposes major changes affecting neighborhoods in Sacramento including:
>> 1) ending single family zoning and neighborhoods by allowing up to six units on all single family lots, 
>> 2) eliminating residential and commercial requirements that off-street parking be provided for residents, customers, and clients; 
>> 3) replacing gas heating, cooling, cooking etc. with electric in all buildings, starting with new and then including new and existing, and 
>> 4) reducing lanes and available parking on certain major streets.
>>  
>> Many Sacramentans are not aware of these changes or their implication for existing neighborhoods.  This forum will summarize the City’s proposals and rationale and then offer a careful look at the implications of these proposed changes. It will also include a review of legislative proposals to eliminate single family zoning statewide. 
>>  
>> Parts of the proposal plan have become increasingly controversial as residents become aware of the major changes to neighborhoods called for in the plan. The city advocates say that ending single family zoning will create affordable housing and right the wrongs of past racial discrimination. Opponents say the city provides no evidence for these claims, citing examples where upzoning has resulted in higher cost housing and more racial segregation and raising other concerns.
