LOT BUILD OUT

[Gary E. London]

Can anyone tell me how many townhouses could you build on a typical 4 acre lot. I know you can't use all of the land for housing so just trying to get a ballpark figure for number of units. There is an existing single family home on the property.

@Gary E. London You will need to find out the particular zoning designation that your property is listed under and whether Townhouses is even an allowed use. Then you will need to find out the Zoning AND Subdivision/Land Development Ordinances for your Town or City. There should be a breakdown of minimum lot size , setbacks required from property lines for the building envelope on each lot, min road frontage required etc etc etc..That would be the place to start to arrive at a conceptual lot yield for your piece of property...There are many other factors that could also come into play in determining your yield but getting familiar with these ordinances will lead you in the right direction..
