East Sacramento Neighbors are mobilizing opposition efforts to the new Rezoning pushes in the city and state. Please see the action information below.
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@gmail.com for more info. 4) Like and share our facebook page 5) Housing Element Environmental Review Comments Due June 17
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:
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.”
If you are not sure who your Assembly Member is, click here.
1) Help spread the word by dropping flyers on porches in your neighborhood. Contact No2Rezone@gmail.com to get flyers or master copies to make your own.
2) If you haven’t already, please contact your City Council member directly to tell them you oppose upzoning of single family and want the draft 2040 General Plan to be changed to retain existing single family zoning and neighborhoods. Click for their emails & phone numbers.
