We are now working with a developer and architects to construct a two units building with a rooftop on that land.

WE are working on our business plan and discussing it with the zoning and planning depts, our engineer, architect and our builder.

I love my architect in SF because he knows the nuts and bolts of pulling permits as much as he knows building codes and design.  

@Melissa Buckley  usually a builder or architect can direct you to a RE consultant.

One thing I am going to try next time is I heard you can hire a architect engineer firm and when they finish the city will pass their plans with no changes, as it as a stamp from the engineer.

@Conor McCahill  I am building 7 units in Sloans right now, Pricing was about $160 per ft including everything (engineering, Architect, construction, tap fees, permits, etc.) except the land.

*VOTED*so i will...get an EIDincorporate as a nonprofit  apply for 501(c)3 status @ IRSapply for grants as 501(c)3 non-profitam not even aware yet of public interest design.. u sound like an architect as well as an investor!

It will be tight, but civil and architect says we can do it.
