How can we make housing development for small scale housing projects like Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) more accessible and easy to understand for everyday people? We led a team to develop an ADU program and a Housing Development Toolkit for the City of Sacramento that serves as a comprehensive one-stop-shop resource website where the public can navigate the myriad of regulations and permitting processes in developing an ADU, in addition to a Housing Development Toolkit that identifies developable sites and outlines resources for development.
Using TestFit to Demystify Zoning
TestFit is one of our most valuable tools for land use analysis - it allows us to consider all the options, identify the most viable scenarios, and make informed decisions about how to maximize the potential of our project sites. So we were thrilled that TestFit featured us as a use case on their website - check out this article featuring Cascadia partner Jamin Kimmell and how we use this software.
