If this lot were rezoned
| Floor space | Homes | |
|---|---|---|
| Today's zoning (RT-2) from the city's bylaw, FAR 0.75 | 4,158 ft² | about 3 |
| Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47) the city must allow at least 20 storeys, FAR 5.00 | 27,717 ft² | about 31 |
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.
