Planners Approve Kings’ Arena Design

The Sacramento Kings’ downtown $448 million arena dream took a step toward reality Thursday with initial City Hall approval of the building design and hundreds of pages of planning and environmental documents, zoning changes and variances.

The approvals, by the Sacramento Planning and Design Commission, are a necessary step prior to final City Council approval. The council is scheduled to review the arena deal and the planning and environmental documents on May 13.
