Residents also have access to bathrooms, showers, a shared kitchen, laundry, internet, 24\/7 security, and supportive services.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Residents are asking a judge to halt the project and have taken the city to court as, through the Advisory Council for Legal and Ethical Oversight, a group made up of West Natomas residents.<\/p>\n<p>In court documents, the group says the city picked the Arena Boulevard site in a way that breaks Measure O requirements because it&#8217;s too close to nearby parks and trails. They also claim the city skipped required environmental reviews and permits, ignored competitive bidding rules, and are asking a judge for a restraining order to stop any work on the project.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.58-acre lot, currently empty, is one of four proposed micro-communities in Sacramento.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rosalee Lehr, who lives just yards from the planned site, says she&#8217;s worried about how the tiny homes could change her neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel, tried to sneak it by without telling anybody what was going on,&#8221; said Lehr.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sacramento reached out to Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, but has not gotten a response at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Natomas neighbors have taken legal action against the City of Sacramento to stop a proposed tiny home community&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4317,121,123,122],"class_list":["post-249373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-natomas","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
