Where it is
Transit-oriented area (Bill 47)
Around Capstan Station, BC law sets a minimum height and density the city must allow when a residential site is rezoned. 319 lots here are inside the transit-oriented area; at the minimum densities they could hold about 12,243,054 ft² of floor space. In all, 1,192 residential lots are within 800 m.
| Ring | City must allow at least | Lots | Land | Floor space at minimum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 200 m | 20 storeys · FAR 5.0 | 23 | 384,002 ft² | 1,920,011 ft² |
| 200 to 400 m | 12 storeys · FAR 4.0 | 122 | 1,571,023 ft² | 6,284,094 ft² |
| 400 to 800 m | 8 storeys · FAR 3.0 | 174 | 1,346,316 ft² | 4,038,949 ft² |
Lots are counted in the ring the provincial transit-oriented area rules put them in; parks, schools, industrial and site-specific zones are left out, and so are parcels over one acre (near stations these are almost always parks, schools or hospitals zoned residential). The city's own transit-area map is the final word. Floor space uses the minimum floor space ratio for each ring. Distances in the lists are straight-line from the station.
