Document Description
The Project consists of rezoning sites totaling approximately 230 acres across unincorporated Sacramento County to provide additional lower income (i.e., extremely low income, very low income, and low income) and moderate-income category housing opportunities.
Unincorporated portions of Sacramento County (i.e., excluding incorporated cities) encompass approximately 469,083 acres or 775 square miles (approximately 79 percent of the entire County). The unincorporated County is divided into 14 communities. The Project proposes rezoning of parcels (or portions of parcels) (referred to as candidate rezone sites) within 10 of the County communities including: Antelope, Arden Arcade, Carmichael/Old Foothill Farms, Cordova, Fair Oaks, North Highlands, Orangevale, Rio Linda/Elverta, South Sacramento, and Vineyard.
The Project does not propose to construct new residential or other development on the approximately 230 acres evaluated; rather, it provides additional 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 approximately 230 acres proposed to be rezoned, approximately 150 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.
