To A&A or Rebuild?

"attic" is not obsolete and never will be. it depends on whether there is a need for the attic to be built or not. since your zoning allows you to built up to 3 storey, the attic becomes "optional" since normally 2 storey houses will add on an attic to get more space.

do bear in mind that if you plan to build up additional storey, you will be subjected to the current envelope control so your additional floor and attic must be within the allowable buildable envelope.

for $300k, budget seems quite tight to build an additional storey and attic. best is get some quotations from builders on whether the extensions can be done with this budget or not

Thanks for your insight! Construction coat has gone up sharply in the last 10 years.....

It looks more like I would just construct the Attic, stairway to the attic and open up part of the roof for more lights. An A&A job this time.
