Buyers to verify eligibility and requirements. Projects in similar RD1.5 zones have utilized these programs to increase unit count beyond by-right limits.
Additionally, buyers should explore the applicability of Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) incentives and other local housing initiatives, which may provide opportunities for increased density, reduced parking, and more efficient site planning.
