Quality Residential Structure (QRS)

Qualifying Residential Site (QRS) is a zoning classification created by the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity text amendment, effective December 5, 2024, that grants certain low-density lots enhanced development rights as-of-right, no discretionary approval required. The provision is codified primarily at ZR § 23-21 (Floor Area Regulations for R1–R5 Districts).
