Planning and Development Code project meeting

The City of Sacramento Community Development Department has initiated a zoning code update--something that has not been completed in more than 50 years. The proposed update, referred to as the "Planning and Development Code," will result in a user-friendly document that provides predictable, clear and consolidated direction for development. Key components of the update include:

• Reorganizing the code by individual zones for ease of use, 

• Creating a consistent citywide site plan and design review process,

• Providing flexibility in development standards to facilitate development of smaller urban infill lots,

• Updating development standards to recognize urban and traditional development patterns identified in the General Plan,

• Updating parking standards and identifying alternative parking compliance to facilitate urban infill.

This process will help manage Sacramento’s growth over the next 20 plus years, as identified in the 2030 General Plan.
