The research doesnot suggest that most properties on opportunity sites outside of Priority Development Areas(PDAs) will be tall. Approximately two out of every three infill acres outside of PDAs will developat heights of one to two stories. Nearly half of homes, and 30 % of jobs, will be found in these onetotwo-story buildings. Of what remains, almost all will develop as three- to four-story buildings.Table 12: Heights for future homes and jobs built on opportunity sites. 12AcresHomes(Future)Jobs(Future)1 to 2 stories 11,705 68% 159,480 44% 229,980 30%3 to 4 stories 4,711 27% 148,449 41% 366,121 47%5 to 6 stories 459 3% 25,076 7% 113,422 15%9 stories 269 2% 27,812 8% 59,873 8%12 stories 23 0% 3,111 1% 4,861 1%Grand Total 17,168 363,929 774,25711 See Footnote 10.12 See Footnote 10.19
