[1] This housing type is thought to provide a middle ground between detached single-family homes and high-rise apartment buildings. [2]
A typical analysis of build-out might start with 10 acres (40,000 m 2) of land with a proposed density of 4 dwelling units per acre. A simple multiplication (10x4) would produce a build-out of 40 units. A more complex analysis might deduct .75 acres (3,000 m 2) for 660 feet (200 m) of 50-foot (15 m) road right-of-way (ROW).
For mixed income projects, AB 2011 allows for the density of the project to be the maximum density allowed on the parcel, or the following, whichever is greater: 30 units per acre for sites of less than one acre in size; 40 units per acre for sites of one acre in size or greater located on a commercial corridor of less than 100 feet in width;
A residential density of one-half acre per house may be classified as high density in a rural area, medium density in a suburban area, and low density in an urban area. Granato (2010) [ 6 ] provides a table with TIA values for different land-use categories from 30 studies in the literature.

In the United States 2–4 houses per acre (5–10 per hectare) might be considered low-density while in the UK 8–12 per acre (or 20–30 per hectare) would still be considered low-density. [21] Because more automobiles are used in the USA, much more land is designated for parking.
The ordinance allows one accessory dwelling unit per lot. The maximum allowed size for an attached unit is 800 square feet, in most cases. In some cases, depending on the size of the house, the ...
