Proposed Zoning and Building Height Changes to East Sac and the Alhambra Corridor: October 14 ESP Meeting

October 14 ESP Meeting: Proposed Changes to the Alhambra Corridor

How could proposed zoning changes along Alhambra Boulevard affect our neighborhood? East Sacramento Preservation’s October 14 meeting will be devoted to this important discussion, with Friends of Save East Sac and staff from the City Planning Department.

According to information shared by Save East Sac, the proposed changes would increase maximum building heights in much of the Alhambra Corridor Special Planning District. Proposed limits range from 35 to 85 feet on the east side of Alhambra Boulevard and from 85 to 185 feet on the west side, depending on the location.

Join us to learn more about the proposals, ask questions, and share your thoughts about building decisions that could shape the neighborhood’s future.

Wednesday, October 14, 2026
6–7:30 p.m.
Alhambra Room, upstairs at the Clunie Community Center
601 Alhambra Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95816

Save East Sac is updating its website with additional information before the meeting. Visit SaveEastSac.org for updates.

All neighbors are welcome. We hope to see you there!

El Dorado School Earns National Historic Recognition!

The final piece of the puzzle is in place! On October 1, 2026, El Dorado School was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our neighborhood school now has historic recognition at the city, state, and national levels—a wonderful milestone worth celebrating.

Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Will Green, Kara Brunzell, Tatyana Dunn, Shannon Ross and everyone whose dedication helped make this happen. East Sacramento Preservation is delighted to share this happy news!

Next, Sacramento City Unified School District will complete its 60-day period for offering the property to government entities. We will keep you informed as that process concludes and the next steps become clear.
