The rules

Name	High-Rise Residential Zone 2
Homes allowed	No unit-per-area cap; floor area formula (s.563.3(b))
Floor space notes	s.563.3(b): residential floor area = lot area x (0.5 + 0.3 x ratio of concealed parking to required parking + 0.1 x number of storeys in residential use). Dwelling units are counted at 500 sq ft + 150 sq ft per bedroom and their sum may not exceed that floor area. No single fixed FSR, so fsr is left empty.
Height	33.53 m (110 ft)
Height notes	s.563.1: height shown on the lot's Plan Section drawing, or 110 ft (33.53 m) where none is shown.
Lot coverage	33%
Coverage notes	s.563.2: apartment buildings max 33% of lot area; with accessory buildings, parking and driveways max 75%. Accessory buildings max 12 ft (+3 ft for >=3:12 roofs), 5 ft from other buildings (s.564).
Setback notes	No zone setback table. Buildings must sit inside the 'Siting Area' drawn for the lot in the Plan Section of the bylaw (s.563.2); where no Siting Area or Development Permit Area is designated, s.408(1) limits buildings to 10% of lot area. In practice siting is set lot by lot (most RM/RL/RH sites have Plan Section drawings or DP areas).
Bonus density	Floor area grows with concealed (structured) parking and number of residential storeys (s.563.3(b)).
Bylaw sections	s.561, s.562, s.563, s.564, s.408
