A hyperlocal conversation is a neighborhood-specific monthly gathering where neighbors explore ways to improve walkability where we live. This month in Far North Dallas, we'll pick up from our previous conversation about zoning:
What is missing middle housing?
Assuming reform allows it by right...
How do I build a backyard cottage (ADU)?
How do I convert my garage into an apartment (ADU)?
How do I convert my single-family house into a duplex, triplex, or quadplex?
How much do each of these options cost?
How do I get started?
Tonight we have a special guest, Peter Cioe with Community Focused Ventures, who will share his story about how he built a backyard cottage ADU in Oak Cliff!
The purpose of this session's discussion is not to detail every step of building middle housing from start-to-finish; the purpose is to show what's realistically possible if zoning reform legalizes incremental development across Dallas, especially in Far North Dallas with its abundance of single-family homes.
During this discussion, we'll reference and read excerpts from:
Strong Town's Housing Ready Toolkit
An Introduction to Incremental Development free online course by IncDev Alliance + Strong Towns
