  6. Program Framework • Development Standards • Design Guidelines • Downzoning

  7. Variables used for analysis • Age of structure • Number of properties • Average lot size • Number of current units • Potential Development (70%) • Units that could be added – current zone • Number of non-conforming lots • Units that could be added – proposed zone • Topography • Urban Design

  8. Assumptions • If an area has already developed to its max or more, then downzoning is ineffective (i.e. avoid creating more non-conformity) • 70% Rule
