Council of Infill Builders’ David Mogavero’s Infill Presentation

On July 12, 2021, at a Special Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) meeting (Joint Session: Land Use & Transportation, Air Quality and Climate Change Committees) architect David Mogavero spoke to ECOS.




How can we encourage infill development and discourage green-field development?

David Mogavero is a Board Member of the Council of Infill Builders, and a past president of ECOS.

David Mogavero addressed these questions:
  • How do we calculate infill capacity?
  • How many market-rate and affordable dwelling units will we need in our region?
  • How much infill housing development capacity do we have?
  • Would still we need more greenfield development?
  • What density criteria are used to determine needed infill development capacity?
  • What are potential problems with larger high-density infill developments?
  • Nearby residents often resist higher density, affordable housing near transit hubs.
  • Small, high-density infill development problems:
  • Do we need accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and multiplex housing?
  • How can we make small projects easier to finance and build?
