Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47)
the city must allow at least 20 storeys, FAR 5.00		36,436 ft²about 41

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.
