If this lot were rezoned

Floor spaceHomes
Today's zoning (RQ-1)
from the city's bylaw, FAR 0.50		2,955 ft²about 2
Small-scale housing (Bill 44)
up to 6 homes, BC law, FAR 1.00		5,909 ft²up to 6

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.
