The Sacramento City Council reviewed proposed amendments to Titles 15 and 17 of the City Code. These amendments included updates to density bonus regulations, removal of outdated overlay zones, and new procedures for accessory dwelling units (ADUs), electric vehicle (EV) charging, and adaptive reuse. The ordinance aligns with recent state mandates, addresses typographical errors, and clarifies confusing standards, such as setbacks for lots with irregular shapes. This effort supports the 2040 General Plan and Housing Element goals to streamline development processes and facilitate housing solutions.
The updates enhance regulatory clarity and align local codes with state law, reducing administrative burdens and facilitating sustainable development. This improves Sacramento’s ability to meet housing and infrastructure demands.
