Background Information:
This property is primarily located within the Medical District Medium Intensity Area, with a small portion located within an Employment Area. It is currently vacant, and zoned Future Development (FD). The owner is proposing to re-zone to a Medium Intensity Planning Area, which would allow them some flexibility in in determining zoning districts.
Some regulations that are specific to Planning Areas include a requirement for minimum 10% affordable housing requirement and increased parkland standards. Additionally, there is a regulating plan requirement in order to manage zoning district allocations, transportation plans (blocks, bike infrastructure, transit stops, etc.), park planning and maintenance, utility plans, and phasing.
