From no2rezone at list.omsoft.com Tue Jun 8 19:23:35 2021 From: no2rezone at list.omsoft.com (no2rezone at list.omsoft.com) Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2021 19:23:35 -0700 Subject: [Save Sacramento Neighborhoods] Take Action on Housing Element and State Legislation and more Message-ID: In this message: 1) Tell the City Council to remove upzoning language from the Housing Element. 2) Tell CA Assembly members NO on SB 9 & SB 10 that would end single family zoning statewide. 3) Help educate your neighbors by delivering flyers. Email No2Rezone at gmail.com for more info. 4) Like and share our facebook page 5) Housing Element Environmental Review Comments Due June 17 1) Take Action on the Housing Element On June 15, 2021 2pm, City staff will be holding a workshop for the City Council on the Housing Element. Although the draft Housing Element shows that Sacramento can meet its State-assigned housing Regional Housing Allocation Need (RHNA) numbers, the Housing Element still contains language to support upzoning that would eliminate single family neighborhoods. The proposed upzoning is not a done deal, so it does NOT belong in the Housing Element. Send a message to the City Council and Planning Department: "Remove all references to proposed upzoning in the Housing Element. The Housing Element shows that Sacramento can meet its State-assigned housing allocation under current zoning - NO UPZONING is needed." You can copy & paste these emails for City Council, their chief staffers and city planners: MayorSteinberg at cityofsacramento.org, mlvellinga at cityofsacramento.org, aashby at cityofsacramento.org, aashby at cityofsacramento.org, Sloloee at cityofsacramento.org, Sloloee at cityofsacramento.org, jsharris at cityofsacramento.org, dgonsalves at cityofsacramento.org, kvalenzuela at cityofsacramento.org, kvalenzuela at cityofsacramento.org, jschenirer at cityofsacramento.org, ajoe at cityofsacramento.org, eguerra at cityofSacramento.org, ksaeteurn at cityofsacramento.org, rjennings at cityofsacramento.org, dmrogers at cityofsacramento.org, district8 at cityofsacramento.org, rkbrown at cityofsacramento.org MHertel at cityofsacramento.org, GSoos at cityofsacramento.org Please cc No2Rezone at gmail.com, publiccomment at cityofSacramento.org Click to read this alert on line for more information. See also #5 below on Housing Element Environmental Review. 2) Tell CA Legislators NO on SB 9 and SB 10 Senate Bill SB 9 will end single family zoning and neighborhoods statewide, allowing 6-8 units per single family lot. Senate Bill SB 10 allows any city council in California: 1) to overturn voter-approved ballot measures that protect open space, shorelines and other lands, and 2) to override all zoning including single-family, inviting the demolition and gentrification of older, diverse, multi-family and single-family areas. Unfortunately SB 9 passed out of the CA Senate on 5-26-21 - we need to stop it in the Assembly. Write Sacramento area Assembly Members and their chiefs of staff below and tell them: "I strongly oppose SB 9 and SB 10 and urge you to vote against these attacks on single family neighborhoods and environmental protections."
