NOTE: this conflicts with Section 1120.03, Subd 1(e), which allows a <br />10% density bonus, e.g. 3.8 acre site (excludes ROW) is allowed 66-units + 10% (72-units max). One unit per <br />2,500 sq ft lot area is the base density for multi-family residential. As the City Code is updated (amended), this <br />conflict will be addressed. <br />4 City Code, Section 1104.02, Subd 4(c) Minimum Floor Area Per Dwelling Unit (Multiple Dwelling Units) <br />5 2015 MN Building Code: Efficiency Units shall have a minimum area of 120 sf (one occupant); 220 sf (two <br />occupants); and 320 sq ft (three occupants).
