Density: Multiple-Family Dwellings
Example: A site with five net acres proposed for multiple-family development:
STEP 1. Convert acres to square feet: five acres = 5 x 43,560 square feet = 217,800 square feet
STEP 2. Convert square feet to total rooms: 217,800 square feet/1,600 = 136 rooms
STEP 3. Convert total rooms to dwelling units/acre:
136 rooms/2 rooms = 68 one-bedroom units/five acres = 13.6 dwelling units/acre
136 rooms/3 rooms = 45 two-bedroom units/five acres = 9.0 dwelling units/acre
136 rooms/4 rooms = 34 three-bedroom units/five acres = 6.8 dwelling units/acre
136 rooms/5 rooms = 27 four-bedroom units/five acres =.4 dwelling units/acre
