Changes

Minimum Zoning (e.g. C-1A):
Multiply FAR By: OR set explicit FAR maximum:
Divide Lot Size minimums by: OR set explicit lot size/unit minimum: OR eliminate lot size minimums:
Eliminate single family zoning limits (A-1, A-2):
Eliminate two family zoning limits (B):
Minimum allowable units per parcel:
Average unit size (including common areas):

Results

If you eliminate lot size/unit minimums, increase FAR maximums by a factor of 2.0, the number of units allowed is 55551, an increase of 25918.
The number of non-conforming properties (as currently built) would be approximately ~15.9%, compared to 43.5% under current zoning. (In total, 45.3% properties would be at their maximum.)
