What does this actually mean?
Each property owner could choose to add units — up to 3 total per lot
29 of 29 properties on Rockland ST could go from single-family to up to 3 units. If every eligible owner chose to maximize, that's 57 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.
Off-street parking would no longer be required for 1 properties
Today, these 1 properties must provide 2 off-street parking spaces (2 each). The proposal removes this requirement — but it does NOT mean driveways disappear. Property owners can keep their existing parking; they just wouldn't need to provide spaces for any new construction. Street parking is a separate city policy and is not affected.
Buildings could be placed closer to property lines
The front setback from 20' to 15' 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.
