The size of each Legacy unit may vary within a development, but no unit will be smaller than the minimum sizes, and the size of all units by type must meet the average sizes shown below. # Bedrooms Legacy Rental Units Legacy Ownership Units Minimum Size (sf) Average Size (sf) Minimum Size (sf) Average Size (sf) Studio/0 Bedroom 350 450 400 500 1 Bedroom 550 650 700 1,000 2 Bedroom 725 825 800 1,150 3 Bedroom 900 1000 1,100 1,300 Indicate the project’s minimum and average size per Legacy unit type: # Bedrooms Legacy Rental Units Legacy For-Sale Units Minimum Size (sf) Average Size (sf) Minimum Size (sf) Average Size (sf) Studio/0 Bedroom 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom ---PAGE BREAK--- Revised 09-30-19 Page 5 of 6 8.
