Yup! The policy recommendation from city staffers that Payton mentioned (summary here) says exactly this.
I think city staffers wrote this in a really clever way since it lets us encourage denser, transit-adjacent housing and nerf NIMBYs’ usual playbook of flooding rezoning hearings! The idea is to expand what counts as “detached houses” using this overlay instead of just upzoning to build denser homes.
They’re not truly changing the actual zones that underlie the overlay areas. For residents that have “complaints” in bad faith, I think this little detail will make it harder for them to whine and complain.
