Abstract
This study investigates whether the development streamlining provisions in California’s Senate Bill 375 (2008) – which reduce the review required under the California Environmental Quality Act for qualifying transit-oriented development (TOD) projects – contribute to gentrification. Gentrification can have positive and negative outcomes for nearby communities, including the disproportionate displacement of marginalized communities of color and low-income residents (Drexel University Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) 2019). We use case studies of three TOD projects in Sacramento that utilized SB 375 streamlining. We find medium evidence of gentrification from all three projects, with the Sacramento Commons project showing the most signs of gentrification.
