How many dwelling units can I build on my residential property?
Zoning codes also serve to control the amount of building construction in order to satisfy acceptable community standards related to residential densities and living conditions. One such requirement is the maximum number of units that can be built on a property. Density varies depending upon the residential zone in which it is located, for example, R-1 (Single Family), R-2 (Medium Density) or R-3 (High Density) and/or the property’s land area.
