[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many lots in Arlington are even big enough for an 8-plex?
[/quote]

As I understand it, the new zoning applies to all lots, R5-R20. So in theory, you could build an 8-plex on a smaller lot, just each unit is much smaller. Arlington has a presentation that shows you can build up to 4800 sq ft on an R5-R8 lot. They assume that would be two duplexes at 2400 sq ft each (each of which is bigger than most existing SFHs in Arlington). But as I read it, you could also built 6 800-ft units, or 8 600-ft units. There is no min size.

This is the kind of stuff I'm concerned about with wholescale changes like they are talking about. You may think it's unlikely, and Arlington may too, but if we don't want that to happen, we should not change the code in a way that this is permissible. [/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

Minneapolis has a city council that is given to wild swings to chase the latest intellectual fad. When they abolished single-family zoning a few years ago, even they topped out at triplexes. [/quote]
