Staff presented analysis suggesting realistic development densities in R3 ranging roughly 22.5–26.5 units per acre (senior housing examples up to ~29 units/acre); commissioners debated whether to adopt a numerical cap and generally favored relying on existing standards and design controls, taking no action.
