Accessory units have up to 2 bedrooms and up to 750 square feet (p.116), plus unlimited space with ceilings under 7 feet (p.250). "Institutional Residential" may have double density, with no limit on unit size (p.34). Condos count as institutions if they have a dining room or clinic (p. 223).

Consultant agreed the proposals would overwhelm roads & other resources, but said any tighter controls on county density would be undermined by annexations.

Neighborhood Conservation is primarily on the mountain on tax maps CT21+23, HF12+13, K6-8. At last count (7/98) these maps had 1084 buildable lots, and 4041 unbuildable lots(www.listeners.homestead.com/files/BUILDABL.WPD). These are assumed buildable at a rate of a principal structure per 3 unbuildable lots. The buildout % shown is applied to this buildable total.

Other districts also have many unbuilt lots, as well as areas which can be subdivided at the new densities, which is why a 20% buildout is plausible.
