I have a project in which I need to “provide a revised map that highlights the existing residential area and density. The residential area must be existing and feature a net density of at least ten dwelling units per acre.” If you have had this comment before, what size must this map be — how many acres, square miles, what radius, etc.?

Hi Dave, do you have any apartment complexes nearby? This is a sure-fire compliant path. If not, I've had luck using Google maps to calculate out an acre, then count out the 10 residential units within that space for my documentation. It's a quick and easy way to show compliance.

Thank you, Marilyn. There are many apartment complexes nearby and will definitely point at least one out this time around.
