@alex_burness This law (I believe) allows one-for-one replacement of existing, legal, non-conforming affordable units. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:19:37, 2017-03-07
@alex_burness E.g. a duplex on a small lot in RMX-1 is legal, but non-conforming. If you scrape it, you can only build a single family home. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:19:03, 2017-03-07
