Oakland Mosswood 42-unit PSH infill permits updated
Key Questions
What is the Oakland Mosswood infill project?
The project is a 5-story, 42-unit Permanent Supportive Housing development by Danco/Humboldt at 3720 Telegraph, adjacent to BART. It involves demolishing a motel and benefits from encampment clearances. Permits have been updated, tracking final approvals.
What changes were made to the Mosswood project plans?
The plans were revised from 46 units in a 6-story building to 42 units in a 5-story structure. This adjustment aligns with ongoing entitlements. AB2252 could enable single-stair designs for more innovative midrise architecture.
What supports the Mosswood project's progress?
Gains come from SB79, AC Transit improvements, OBAG, and MTC grants. The BART adjacency and recent encampment clearances provide momentum. State laws like AB2252 enhance design potential for infill housing.
