Small scale, incremental development is a tested approach to cost-effectively preserving existing buildings, strengthening their blocks, and improving the financial fundamentals of their contexts over time. The City of Sacramento is partnering with Incremental Development Alliance (a Strong Towns favorite!) to put on an 8-hour in-person class which will explain the processes and concepts a small developer encounters in a project in a manner that is accessible to private, public and non-profit audiences.
This workshop is part of the City of Sacramento’s Small Developer Incubator Program.
This is considered a baseline training. It will be open to the public and welcomes all levels/professions. Cost is $170 until March 5.
Date: Saturday, March 8
Time: 9 AM – 5 PM
Location: Oak Park Community Center, 3425 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95817
The session is proposed to include the following major sections/elements:
- Power of the Incremental Approach
- Business Models and Skill Sets
- Right Sizing Your Project
- Building Arts 101
- Market Research and Site Selection
- Zoning Project
- Pro Formas
- Using & Implementing Sacramento’s Code
