Listen in to hear about what we'll be talking about in our upcoming Podcast, The Infill Insiders. We here at Workbench are developers helping to solve the state's housing crisis by creating denser infill housing that is good for residents and communities, environmentally sustainable, and less car oriented. We want to have more impact, so this podcast is going to share what we’ve learned. Whether you're a developer or part of a jurisdiction’s permitting department, you'll learn what your rights and obligations are under current state law. We'll share examples from our own work, and we'll get into the details on the latest guidance from the California Department of Housing & Community Development, what courts have ruled, and how everything is evolving year after year. Buckle up because we can't wait to share our knowledge with you!
