Density Bonus Areas

District schedules in the Zoning & Development By-law contain an outright density (or ‘base density’) that can be achieved. Some of these district schedules contain regulations that enable the development of additional density (or ‘bonus density’) that may be achieved, to a maximum set out in the by-law, with the provision of amenity or affordable housing shares (or ‘density bonus contributions’) on the approved net increase in density. This is referred to as ‘density bonus zoning’.《分区与发展附例（Zoning & Development By-law）》中的片区附表（district schedules）明确了可实现的直接可实现密度（outright density，又称“基准密度（base density）”）。部分片区附表还载有配套规则，允许开发者在满足条件的情况下获取额外密度（bonus density，又称“奖励密度（bonus density）”），该奖励密度的上限由附例予以规定；开发者需针对经批准的净密度增量，提供宜居设施（amenity）或保障性住房份额（affordable housing shares，又称“密度奖励缴款（density bonus contributions）”），以此换取该奖励密度。此种规划模式被称为“密度奖励分区（density bonus zoning）”。
