[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graphic below shows the SFH Zoned area eligible to be 'upzoned' under the Mayors new proposal.

Gentle density in single-family zones can be prioritized in areas that are within access to a high-capacity transit corridor, which is defined as a half-mile from a Metro station and a quarter-mile from a stop on a priority bus corridor.

So the Density Bros and Bras can chirp all they want about how single family housing zoning will not be changed because technically they are correct. That zoning area will still exist. However it will be superseded by this new 'gentle' densification 'upzoned' area within walking distance of public transportation corridors.[/quote]

If the “gentle density” proposal changed nothing in SFH areas, why would Mayor Developer and OP propose it?

Note that the transit corridor category for “gentle density” would cover 72 percent of the SFH lots in the District.  The TBD “high-cost, high-opportunity” category presumably will include still more areas that are not within a quarter-mile of a bus stop.[/quote]
