You can see the Golden Gate about 15 years after it was completed and then on the other side of the bay, the Bay Bridge isn’t even built yet. I dare you to start down the rabbit hole and see how long it takes to get out.  In this weeks edition of "City Planners Gone Amuck" we bring you this fine piece of work. Few questions....
 There’s a lot to be learned from this article. To summarize, the owner of three lots had two of them where the lot size was too small for the zone that it is in. If the lot was legally created, it would be considered legal non-conforming, or grandfathered. But in this case the lots were not legally created. In other words they were likely recorded at the county with a metes and bounds description or similar but they never processed the subdivision through the county. That constitutes an illegal subdivision. So the remedy that they proposed was to rezone the property to a zoning designation that has smaller minimum lot size requirements. If approved the lots would be of the appropriate size for that zone making it possible for them to be legally platted as is. Like I said, a lot here but very interesting.

A density bonus provides an increase in allowed du/ac, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or height which generally means that more housing units can be built on any given site. This bonus is typically granted to a developer in exchange for the provision of affordable and sometimes age restricted (55+) communities. This doesn't just have to be for larger projects. It can be done for smaller ones as well. Another example of how unique entitlements can add value to an existing property   ATTENTION!!
