If this lot were rezoned

Floor spaceHomes
Today's zoning (RS-4)
from the city's bylaw, FAR 0.50		4,354 ft²about 3
Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47)
the city must allow at least 8 storeys, FAR 3.00		26,124 ft²about 30

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.
