What Could Sacramento’s Proposed Zoning Changes Mean for Your Block?

Posted on 10/12/2026 by admin

Join the conversation about the East Sacramento Neighborhood’s Future

How tall could new construction next door be—and how many accessory dwelling units (ADUs) could a property have? Neighbors are invited to discuss these questions with representatives of the City of Sacramento Planning Department on October 14.

The meeting will focus on proposed zoning revisions associated with Sacramento’s 2040 Plan, including a system based on floor area ratio (FAR). The discussion offers an opportunity to better understand the proposals, ask how they could affect East Sacramento, and share neighborhood concerns.

Meeting details

  • Date: October 14, 2026
  • Time: 6–7:30 p.m.
  • Location: Alhambra Room, second floor, Clunie Community Center
  • Address: 601 Alhambra Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95816

Understanding the proposals is the first step toward offering informed feedback to the Planning Department and, eventually, City Council. Bring your questions and join the conversation about East Sacramento’s future.

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

Posted on 10/04/2026 by admin

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.
