Announcing 2022 Speaker Series
This is a unique time to innovate, collaborate, and invent new approaches to planning practices and the challenges our communities face. Historic strategies are not as relevant as they once were. Industry professionals struggle to find past methods and examples that fit the new era perspectives and address the complex challenges ahead. What processes do we control? How do we influence outcomes? It’s time to engage emerging professionals and expand our perspective, time to take risks. The 2022 Speaker Series will discuss bold approaches and discover future practices that will meet the goals of today and transform tomorrow.
All sessions will be held from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Join us for coffee and networking from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m.
West Sacramento Community Center, 1075 West Capitol Avenue, West Sacramento
Free, Unrestricted Parking at 1271 West Capitol Avenue (behind Walgreens)
We hope you can join us in person, but we will have a Live Streaming option for all sessions at the same price as attending in person.

Housing continues to be a significant focus for planners in California and jurisdictions are taking different tacks to respond to local and state policies and mandates. Adopted in 2019, the City of San Diego’s Complete Communities Housing Solutions (CCHS) regulations are aimed at increasing affordable and market-rate housing in the City’s transit priority areas—precisely the areas that California’s SB 375 and SANDAG’s Sustainable Communities Strategy have long targeted.
The CCHS’s combination of best practices for promoting housing production is innovative and has shown good progress to date. Among other incentives, the ordinance is completely “opt-in” and offers unlimited density within expanded FAR limits. While controversial for some, the CCHS stands out as a model worth learning about and potentially considered by other jurisdictions.
Panel Members
- Diego Velasco, AICP, Principal and Founder of Citythinkers, SDAPA Section Director Elect
- Michael Prinz, City of San Diego Program Manager, Development Services
- Kelly Modén, President and CEO, cREate Development
- Soheil Nakhshab, Principal, CEO, PE, Nakhshab Development & Design
Please join webinar co-hosts APA San Diego Section and APA California for an overview and assessment of the CCHS from both planning and developer perspectives.
