Advisory committee backs requirement for more diverse lot sizes in SFR developments
Summary
Consultants proposed replacing a 90/10 SFR lot split with a required mix of standard, small and large lots (example: 50% standard, 25% small, 25% large) and the committee expressed general support to promote lot‑size diversity within master‑planned SFR subdivisions.
Consultants proposed changing the existing SFR requirement (which currently allows up to 90% of lots at a single size) to a mandatory mix that requires diversity across standard, small and large lots — for example, up to 50% standard, 25% small and 25% large — to create more variety in single‑family neighborhoods. "So this mix would require, more diversity in lot sizes rather than being able to have 90% of your lots all the same size," the consultant explained.
Committee members generally signaled support for the approach, noting it could produce a greater range of price and product types within master‑planned developments while preserving single‑family character. The committee indicated consensus to include a revised lot‑mix approach in the draft code.
