There isn’t a limit. But heythatwould have been a great idea!

That’s incorrect. There’s a limit of 58 structures per year for five years, dispersed geographically. https://www.arlnow.com/2023/03/22/breaking-arlington-county-board-approves-missing-middle-zoning-changes/

After five years there is no limit.

They asked if there is a limit on conversions to 2/4/6 plexs. There isn’t. There is a limit on the number of MMH per year, but if they are all 6 plexs that’s no problem!

Multifamily buildings still have to conform to setback/height restrictions. You can only fit so much on typical Arlington lots.

6000 square foot lot would get the mcmansion size building but it would be 6 units. Many would require 6 off street parking spots perhaps divided between 3 garages and 3 in driveway. 3/4 mile to metro? That lot for 6-8 units gets 3-4 off street spots. https://www.arlnow.com/2023/03/22/breaking-arlington-county-board-approves-missing-middle-zoning-changes/

"half a parking spot per unit as the minimum 3/4 of a mile from Metro rail and 1/2 mile from certain bus stops and one spot per unit outside of transit zones."

examples on ARL website - go to 134 of 146 to view 6 units on a 6000 square foot lot. 1 example is 6 parking spots and another 3 based on the transit proximity standard. Vehicles will be parked on the street. https://arlington.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=1844&meta_id=217182

Don't know what the language certain bus stop means.

Wow. Those are tiny units. 400 sq ft?

If it isn’t any bigger than a McMansion and has off street parking then it seems fine. The county should do a better job of allocating space and funding for schools. But that’s a preexisting issue.

There isn’t enough off street parking. Everyone knows that each unit will have at least 2 cars, so 12 cars total. .5 a parking space is ridiculous. Resulting in 9 cars parked on the street.

Our street doesn’t have any sidewalks, so yeah a bunch of cars on the street is dangerous for neighborhood kids and walkers.

That's a problem! Which should be solved by...building sidewalks. Would your neighbors support sidewalks?

Yes, let’s have Arlington County continue to foot the bill for developers to make money. Just build a sidewalk! Just build a new school. Just replace the sewers.

That’s an interesting fact. Please provide your source. Lol. The size of the apartment determines whether you have two cars? Distance to metro/bus it is what determines how many cars. And newsflash, since it’s single family home neighborhoods a lot aren’t close to public transport.
