Property owners R. Gonzales, H. Gonzales, and T. Gonzales filed permits earlier this week to demolish a mixed-use building located at 1814 I Street in Sacramento and replace it with a two-story multi-unit residential building. With the help of Glabe + Taylor as the architectural designers, the owners plan to create a new five-unit building located on the 3869 square foot site.
The building designs being proposed include a two-story building with vertical slat siding and a peaked roof. The units will be divided into five two-story units, each with a private entryway. Each unit will range between 990 and 1015 square feet, for a total of 4963 square feet of enclosed space. The upper stories of the building will have access to balcony outdoor spaces, while the ground floor will have a fenced garden that fully surrounds the building.

The building’s aesthetics are meant to more closely match its surroundings than the mixed-use building, which would be demolished, blending into the neighborhood. The building makes no provisions for on-site parking or garages, so tenants will have to rely either on street parking or other means of transportation. However, the site has a close proximity to Downtown Sacramento, and it is within walking distance of multiple commercial districts with offices and retail available

Ridiculous, to provide absolutely no parking.
Love it! Great location for a project like this
