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.
Review this Illustration Guide for visual exhibits intended to illustrate the main concepts and provisions of the ordinance.
For more information, please see the resources provided on this page or contact the City of Sacramento, Planning Division, at planning@cityofsacramento.org.
The ordinance applies to projects that meet all of the following criteria:
Applicants can elect to apply the ordinance to single-unit dwelling development on a lot that is greater than or equal to 2,900 square feet.
Development proposals applied under this ordinance will be reviewed through the City’s discretionary Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR) process. Generally, Forms CDD-0063 and CDD-0022 will need to be completed and submitted.
Please visit e-Planning for details on how to submit a planning entitlement application.
