[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! Where is the 19-plex number coming from?[/quote]
Not sure but there is lots of room for shenanigans. For example, most lots are 10,000 sq ft so that means two 4-plexes. There is also a state law that allows doubling density so in theory one 10,000 sq ft lot could turn into a 16-plex apartment without parking.

This was covered earlier in this thread.  The plan explicitly advocates for RETAINING lot coverage and setback requirements.[/quote]
False. In the latest work session Planning explicitly recommended removing set backs and lot coverage requirements.

It’s also false that 5,000 is the minimum lot size. Planning goes through a lot of effort to provide that it’s possible to build quad plexes on lots smaller than 5,000 sq ft. [/quote]

Planning did this despite not knowing for sure how their new regulations would interact with municipal lot coverage and setback requirements. The report suggests that planning’s regulations would trump municipal regulations for any multifamily construction, but it’s not clear what will happen. [/quote]
