  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:

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.”
