What does this actually mean?

Each property owner could choose to add units — up to 4 total per lot

17 of 20 properties on ELGIN ST could go from single-family to up to 4 units. If every eligible owner chose to maximize, that's 51 additional units — but this is an upper bound, not a prediction. No one is required to add anything. Today, most of these lots allow only a single-family dwelling.

Buildings could be placed closer to property lines

The front setback from 20' to 8' and rear setback from 30' to 10' would change. This means future construction could use more of the lot. Existing buildings that already meet today's rules are unaffected — this only applies to new construction or major renovations.
