Thanks to all for this great advice.

My advice, call the local municipality and ask for a meeting with a local governmental planner. Bring a list of questions with you such as, What firms are doing multi-family real estate in the area, what are projects that have been done in the past couple of years. Take that list of names, look up their phone numbers and see if you can buy somebody from one of those firms lunch at a nice place in exchange for some practical advice. The companies that are doing this in your area will be a wealth of practical, useful information about everything from which local planner to avoid, to what electricians are best to hire and why. Development costs and issues are largely local in extent, and so those who do that work for a living know the local waters and can give you the best and most accurate advice, and maybe you will end up hiring them to manage your project. The wonderland development company, which has done a bunch of cohousing projects, used to have materials about development stuff and they might also be a good source.
