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.

Celebrating Ten Years of Student Scholarships

This year marks the tenth year that East Sacramento Preservation has awarded scholarships to outstanding students in our community. As in years past, this year’s recipients represent the very best of East Sacramento—young people whose hard work, character, and dedication have prepared them for success in higher education and beyond.

East Sacramento Preservation is proud to support public education, our community, and the students of Umoja International Academy, Sacramento’s International Baccalaureate middle and high school. This year, each scholarship recipient received a $1,500 award to help support their educational goals. We are honored to recognize three exceptional students.

Mahmoud Al Tayyeb exemplifies academic excellence, resilience, and integrity. Despite financial challenges, he has balanced rigorous coursework with family responsibilities while remaining active in volunteer and leadership roles. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to helping others, Mahmoud has earned this scholarship through his determination, character, and desire to make a positive impact on the world around him.

Sophia Schult demonstrates the discipline and perseverance that define true achievement. A standout rower and her class valedictorian, she has balanced demanding academics with the rigorous schedule of a competitive athlete. Her accomplishments reflect not only talent, but also resilience, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Sienna Durda is a remarkable student whose intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor have made a lasting impression on her teachers and classmates. Her passion for the biological sciences, combined with her humility and compassion, sets her apart. UCLA is fortunate to welcome a student of her caliber, and we know she will continue to inspire those around her.

We extend our sincere thanks to the scholarship committee, especially Sandra Carter, for presenting the awards at graduation. East Sacramento Preservation is also deeply grateful to the many community members whose generosity has sustained this scholarship program over the past decade.

This year, we would like to offer special recognition to Friends of East Sacramento, whose support helped fund the scholarships and assist Umoja International Academy with important expenses beyond the school’s regular budget.

Congratulations to Mahmoud, Sophia, and Sienna. We wish each of them continued success as they begin the next chapter of their educational journeys.
