  5) Housing Element Environmental Review Comments Due June 17 

 

1)  <https://no2rezone.wordpress.com/housing-element/> 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:

2) Tell CA Legislators NO on SB 9 and SB 10

 
<https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120
220SB9> Senate Bill SB 9 will end single family zoning and neighborhoods
statewide, allowing 6-8 units per single family lot. 
 
<https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120
220SB10> 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."
