Transit-area rezoning (Bill 47)
the city must allow at least 12 storeys, FAR 4.00		31,560 ft²about 36

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.
