Anyone following this closely? It's hard, as a home owner, to decipher exactly what they will and will not let me do going forward until I actually work with a permitting department.
My wife and I bought a 1000 sq ft 2/1 that we've been in for 18 months, and long term, the idea was to likely tear it down and rebuild a 1400-1800 ft single story. I know we're fine from an impervious cover, but there was a lot of fear-mongering that they would not allow people do go beyond adding a bedroom and bathroom vs tearing structures down.
However, the best I could find, is that outside of transition zones (which we are not part of), most of the standard FAR/cover limits should be the same for R2B zoning (SF3)
