>ban development of new SFH to preserve environment
When you say this, do you mean across the US, or localized? I'm honestly shocked that some people are in the opinion that SFH should be banned nationally.

That said, I do think banning them (even just by developers) is unnecessary if you provide zoning incentives instead. If you give developers the option to split up land because it will give them a higher return, they're typically quite quick to do that, at least in Australia. That wouldn't prevent owners or speculators from building their dream standalone house.
