This is the "Three/Four" - an accessible passive house 9 plex that could work citywide within existing R1 zones. To work it would need: 1. Remove (or) increase the unit cap beyond 6 units 2. Increase max height ~3m 3. Increase building depth (but keep the same lot coverage) 4. Remove density fees

Why remove density fees? 1. To pay for the $180k elevator to get accessible units in a small building 2. These are modest middle income units and shouldn't pay more fees than a 'mansion'

The total height is roughly the same as what is currently allowed for a multiplex with roof decks (where the roof deck and access are excluded from the height calc). Ground floor units could be flexible live/work & light commercial/retail.

That’s a lotta bakfiets

Pick your flavour. 3 storeys to 6. Same site plan, same core, same green space.

Same plan. 10% side yard up front. 20% side yard in the back (for extra light and green space where adjacent to detached home yards)
