7A Page 47 Attachment 3 Residential Zoning Districts: Lot Area, Density, General Plan Consistency The following table presents the basic minimum lot area for each of Redwood City's residential zoning districts and the potential maximum density in dwelling units/acre that could be achieved utilizing the minimum lot areas. For reference, an acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. All calculations have been rounded to one tenth for consistency. Because of the requirement for 101000 square feet of minimum Jot area for the first three units in the R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 zoning specifications, the total allowed density for the "first acre" may be different (higher or lower) than for the "second acre" in these districts. For the R-2 Zoning District, multiple entries, which are highlighted, are presented in the table. These entries include the three alternative increments presented in the staff report (2,500, 3,333, and 5,000) listed in order of increasing density. Also presented in the table is the average between the R-1 and R-3 densities to provide another means of comparing the various increments. These averages for the first and second acres were calculated as follows: First Acre: Second Acre: (7.3 + 19.8)/2 = 13.6 units/acre (7.3 + 21.8)/2 = 14.6 units/acre It should be noted that the vast majority of properties in the R-2 Zoning District are one acre or less and thus the "first acre" is the better indicator of likely build out densities under each alternative.
