What BC law allows here

This lot is in a transit-oriented area: BC law lets the city approve buildings up to 12 storeys here.

If this lot were rezoned

Floor spaceHomesLand $/buildable ft²
Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47)
the city must allow at least 12 storeys, FAR 4.00		96,143 ft²about 109$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. Land cost uses the assessed land value. Confirm with the city.
