There seem to be 2 provisions. If one's lot is smaller, one can have a duplex on it. If one's lot is larger, one can split the lot and have a duplex on each sub-lot (i.e. 2 duplexes total).
However, I can't find the guidelines for when one is allowed to split the lot into 2 sub-lots. I'm curious because I have a large-ish empty lot (8,000 sqft in a coastal town) and yes, would make out like a bandit if I'm allowed to split the lot into 2.
Anyone know the guidelines?

Update: could someone please clarify "criteria around 3 years of tenancy"... does this mean one has to have owned the lot for 3 years minimum?

That ones that stood out to me are: * Do not demolish more than 25% of existing house's exterior walls. * Each sub-lot must be at least 2,400 square feet. * Each sub-lot must be at least 40% of the original lot. * Each housing unit must be at least 800 square feet. I didn't read it closely enough to see how you can turn an existing single-family into a duplex.
