Understanding Density • Analyzing the density of the development requires a contextual approach that considers the following factors: 1. Height – Range of minimum and maximum building heights for the proposed development 2. FAR (Floor Area Ratio) – Total building floor area / area of the zoning lot 3. Units / Acre – Total number of units per acre of lot area 14 3/3/2020
