# City Council - 1/25/2022

At its January 25, 2022 meeting, the Sacramento City Council discussed development options for 10 vacant Oak Park lots still owned by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), after Del Paso Homes indicated it could not complete the project. The lots could accommodate up to 13 homes. SHRA outlined two options: develop the homes itself in phases or issue an RFP to outside developers. Staff estimated construction costs of at least $550,000 per home, above the $479,845 maximum affordable sale price for a four-bedroom home at 110% of area median income, meaning a subsidy would be needed. Council discussion referenced $1.5 million set aside by SHRA for the project.

Council member Schenir’s motion supported an RFP for the properties, with consideration of multiple developers, a three-year development timeline, and affordability reaching 30–80% of area median income; speakers and council members also discussed partnering with the Sacramento Community Land Trust and nonprofit developers such as Habitat for Humanity. Council member Jennings offered a substitute motion for SHRA to begin with three homes and issue an RFP for the remaining lots. The transcript records a roll call being called on the substitute motion but does not include the vote result or final action, so no award or developer selection is confirmed.
