On September 17, the Sacramento City Council unanimously adopted the Missing Middle Housing Interim Ordinance, becoming the first in the State to allow multi-unit housing in every neighborhood.
The City of Sacramento is now accepting applications for neighborhood-scale multi-unit development under the Missing Middle Housing Interim Ordinance (ORD2024-0027).
The City of Sacramento is taking a “form-based” approach to residential development in existing neighborhoods, regulating the building form and scale instead of the number of units.
