I am opposed to changing multi-family zoning to single-family zoning as this is not in the best interest of the community when housing affordability is at an all time high. This site in particular is extremely well suited for multi-family development and this zoning change would be a huge missed opportunity.

As a Curtis Park resident, I've watched Crocker village squander its potential. Crocker village is an ideal location to develop efficient, sustainable, and affordable housing serving a wide variety of Sacramentans. Its proximity to transit, parks, shopping, and many other amenities and services, as well as Sacramento city college, align perfectly with the “complete neighborhoods” ethos endorsed by the General Plan. I'm opposed to Paul Petrovich's petition to alter the zoning for the two undeveloped parcels next to the Safeway plaza in Curtis Park. Instead of building much needed multi-family housing, he would like to build more expensive single family housing. Sacramento is one of the least affordable housing markets in the US. The median new construction house price is $650K and the median household income is $76K. In Crocker village, the prices start at $650K and just go up from there. This is not the kind of housing that's going to help solve our housing problems and isn't aligned with what we need in our neighborhood.

As a Curtis park neighbor whose property nearly backs up nearly to the discussed lots, I strongly oppose the rezoning request to change the multi-family housing designation to single-family housing. I support diversity and I support affordability and Curtis Park and Crocker Village need more of both. Multi family housing is more affordable for people who work at Sacramento City College just across the pedestrian overpass, for young people, for single people, for our older neighbors. And that diversity makes our neighborhoods richer and better.
Additionally, per the City Zoning Code, "R-4A zone is to accommodate higher-density development in the central city, along major commercial corridors, and in areas near major institutions and public transit facilities." This is right next to a light rail stop, right next to Sacramento City College, a major institution, and right next to stores and businesses. This is where we want density and it is a no brainer that this should be multi-family housing.
The argument that multi-family housing is not "commercially viable" is nonsense, with developers all over the City opting to build multi-family housing. This is evidenced by Collier's Most Recent Sacramento Multifamily Market Report noting that, "sales activity ended 2024...with the highest [sales] since Q3 2022...Multifamily remained the leader in sales volume nationally in 2024 and is on track to lead the way again in 2025."
I ask you to reject this rezoning request.

Multi-family housing is crucial to meeting the City’s housing goals and building a dense and vibrant city, and this is an ideal location close to transit, parks, groceries, and retail. Changing existing zoning in order to build more single-family housing would be moving in the wrong direction.

I am a resident of Curtis park and I oppose the city squandering an opportunity to build affordable, multi-family housing near valuable amenities in Crocker Village. Changing the zoning to allow overpriced single family development aimed at Bay Area telecommuters would be a betrayal of our community. Instead of changing zoning rules to allow a developer to build more profitable housing stock, the council should work to remove barriers to building multi family housing, and make this vital housing option more affordable and profitable for developers to build. Abandoning our principles and our goals for sustainable densification will only make housing affordability worse and take us away from meeting our climate goals.

As a resident of the Curtis Park neighborhood, I oppose this proposal. Changing the zoning in this area from single family to multi family housing would be antithetical to the City’s housing goals. You could not imagine a more ideal location to build multi family housing: within walking distance of public transit, groceries and other stores. If the City is serious about meeting its goals for building new housing, combating homelessness, and reducing impacts from climate change, opposing this rezoning is a no brainer.

As a resident of Crocker Village, I support the construction of single-family homes, as proposed by the developer, at the site under discussion. Crocker Village is a stunning example of a successful infill development, and another section of single-family homes would round out the neighborhood. It would also provide a peaceful surrounding for the four-story senior affordable housing building next to the site. I can’t imagine what the massive increase of traffic and people would do to this neighborhood if this plan is rejected in favor of another multistory building.

This feels incredibly silly and tone deaf given the need for more housing and to lower the cites carbon footprint. In what world does building single family homes right next to transit line make any sense with the cites desired goals. We have way more than enough single family homes in Sacramento. We need to be be building higher density mixed use housing if we want to meet our housing and climate goals. Crocker village is already a huge missed potential to meet our housing and climate goals, please don't make it worse.
