CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST HOST
MEDITATION
Paige Hosking
SFIC Board Representative for
Presenters
David Cincotta -
For over 40 years David Cincotta, a land-use attorney, has specialized in both affordable and market-rate housing developments in San Francisco and Northern California. He has worked at various federal, state and local government levels, as well as the private sector, for the production of both for-profit and non-profit housing developments and entities. He is currently working on real estate transactions and land use matters at the law firm of Jeffer, Mangels, Butler and Mitchell. David has developed an expertise, with respect to the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) which has been critical to recent successful progress in San Francisco's Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist's sanctuary/housing development project.
Richard Hannum AIA, is an architect and developer of essential housing in California. He created Forge Development Partners in response to the clear need for essential housing in the urban setting. As an architect in San Francisco for over 35 years, he has worked with Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist to realize its mission to bring a new church and essential housing to the site on O'Farrell Street where the community's faithful have worshiped for over 90 years. For over three decades, his efforts and the constant support and prayers of the membership of Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist have resulted in the successful entitlement of the project. The project is scheduled to break ground this year and will demonstrate a new approach to housing from product definition to financing.
Presentation:
David Cincotta will speak to the special opportunities and rights afforded religious institutions in the disposition of their lands. Richard Hannum, the developer and designer of an essential housing solution for Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, will share how the Act and the mission of Fifth Church showcases this application to essential housing needs in San Francisco, in spite of civic and private entity challenges. At a time when San Francisco is in great need of essential housing, the RLUIPA Federal Act offers religious institutions a pathway to be part of the solution by removing obstacles and incentivizing development.
