If this lot were rezoned

Small-scale housing (Bill 44)
up to 4 homes, BC law, FAR 0.70		13,472 ft²up to 4

Rough planning numbers: homes assume about 85% sellable floor space and 750 ft² apartments (1,100 ft² for houses and townhouses). Transit-area figures are the minimum a city must allow on a rezoning, not an approval. Confirm with the city.
