The applicant proposes to keep the existing buildings, rezone the entire site to “RA6-15,” and construct infill development via a Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP). Under the proposed PDSP, the maximum development potential would be 4,461 dwelling units (including existing units) and 14,793 sq. ft. of retail. The PDSP is comprised of four (4) Final Site Plans (“Land Bays”) that would be approved and amended over time to achieve the ultimate build-out, consisting of:

    • “C2” (Multifamily Residential) - Future Final Site Plan
      • Up to 16 stories
      • Up to 366 units
      • 0.4 parking spaces/unit
    • “C3” (Multifamily Residential) - Future Final Site Plan
      • Up to 250' in height
      • 325 units
      • 0.4 parking spaces/unit
• Land Bay S:
  
  • Townhouses: 127 units; parking 1.61 spaces/unit; 4 stories
• Existing Buildings Land Bay:
