Zoning and Density

Think this discussion is more appropriate in this thread - Missing Middle 2.0 text change

The “Frequent Transit Development Option” is pretty ambitious: would allow townhouses and apartments in R-4 and R-6, with up to 54 DUA in R-10, 21 DUA in R-4.

But the area where it could be applied is as yet unmapped: per the city’s website, the “City is in the process of developing a map.”

Maybe this is meant to replace the “TOD-R” overlay that was recommended by the EDAT report for Residential zoned areas near BRT, but not directly on corridors. The Comp Plan already defines a Core/Transit Area (which is on iMAPS), and table LU-2 grants substantial additional density - but it’s not operationalized unless you feel like subjecting yourself to a rezoning (aka gathering all the neighbors to verbally harass you for an entire year). Map LU-5 shows these C/TAs + Frequent Transit routes, but not any areas around said routes.

Anyways, public input is open!
