Sacramento County Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Rezone Project

Sacramento County Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Rezone Project

The Project entails the rezone of 83 candidate rezone sites, totaling ±248.33 acres, resulting in a potential development capacity (realistic capacity) of ±4,081 lower income category units and ±156 moderate income category units. The addition of ±4,081 lower income category units exceeds the County’s unmet RHNA of 2,884 lower income category units by 1,197 units. The Project does not propose to construct new residential or other development on the ±248.33 acres proposed to be rezoned; rather, it provides capacity for future development of housing units to meet the County’s remaining unmet RHNA of 2,884 lower income category units, consistent with State law. Of the total ±248.33 acres proposed to be rezoned, ±161.90 acres (65 percent) currently allows for (either by-right or with a discretionary entitlement) multifamily residential development. The Project would increase residential density on these sites and does not change the development footprint. The horizon year for the Project is 2029. Amendments to the County’s General Plan land use designations for some candidate rezone sites and amendments to the Zoning Code are also required.
