The Sacramento City Council is seeking to eliminate traditional single-family zoning.
The change would allow houses across Sacramento to contain up to four dwelling units. City leaders say the proposal would help the city in its housing crisis and achieve equity goals, by making neighborhoods with high-performing schools and other amenities accessible for families who can't afford to buy homes in those areas. If the council adopts the plan in about a year, property owners will be able to start adding units to houses in roughly two years.
