[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is too long post. Where are they building? [/quote]

[b]They are planning on building everywhere, by increasing zoned density by a minimum of 4-8x throughout most of the county. [/b]They will allow by right subdivision of existing lots to create new lots below the minimum size and also allow duplexes to quadplexes (almost) everywhere depending on the residential zoning category. So a subdivided will be able to create a [b]minimum[/b] of 2 duplexes, which is 4x density. In other areas a subdivided lot will potentially allow a [b]minimum[/b] of two quadplexes which is 8x the existing density.  [/quote]

This is a pretty good concise summary, and I say that as somebody who is in favor of it.  One clarification/question:  where you wrote minimum, I think you meant maximum?[/quote]

Well there are other proposed changes layered on top of the proposal that make it more complicated. 
County changes 
1) Eliminating  single family zoning that make it more complicated. 
2) Priority housing districts (with a 1 mile radius of metro stations or MARC stations) 
3) Growth Corridors (within 500 feet of certain roads).

These county changes will stack with recent state laws overriding local zoning authority in some circumstances to allow well above 8x the current zoning for eligible properties. [/quote]
