These lots are a minimum of 2, square feet, require a minimum of 30 feet total of front and back yard space, and require a single parking lot available per lot. The T stands for Tandem Housing. RSL-C zones allow for four to 12 detached single family homes on a single lot, with a minimum lot size of 6, square feet, and a minimum of square feet of free space per cottage. Most have a variety of different home types, and each individual zone has requirements for the density of homes, the type of homes, and the setbacks and yard spaces.
Houses include cottages, rowhouses, townhouses, and apartments. The type of multi-family zone also affects the size of the lots. Subscribe to Newsletter and Announcements.

As you can see, the map is dominated by single-family zones, especially on the Westside, in the Valley, and in Northeast LA. The fight about development and displacement is being fought entirely outside these zones. These are the zones where you can build apartments. For these zones, density is controlled by requiring a minimum lot area per apartment.
For example, RD2 requires 2, SF of lot area per apartment. R5 is found almost exclusively downtown and along Condo Canyon on Wilshire. All multi-family zones require parking at a rate of 1 space per studio, 1. To help visualize what these zones look like, RD zones usually look like very small apartment buildings or small lot subdivisions.
R3 zones look like dingbats. R4 zones look like podiums. R5 allows for high-rises. The lack of developable R3 and R4 zones in LA is one of the biggest roadblocks to constructing new apartments for ordinary people. Looking back at the map with that in mind, you can see why the large area of the city devoted to single-family zoning is such a problem.
For all zones, this means a maximum FAR of 3. Height districts 2, 3, and 4 allow more height and more FAR, but not more density in terms of the number of apartments. These districts are generally restricted to places like Downtown and Hollywood. For different places, different factors will limit the amount of development. For example, a 5, SF lot in an R zone theoretically has no limit on how tall the building can be. Therefore, the maximum size of the building would be 15, SF, equal to twelve 1, SF apartments.
It would be impractical to build anything taller than about 5 stories on such a lot. This lot would be constrained by FAR and density, but not height. This lot is constrained by density and height, but not by FAR.
