Sub-Area B is currently improved with a three-story residential building which would remain on site with no changes proposed. The applicant is seeking an increase from the base 5.0 FAR to a 6.0 FAR by utilizing the Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus. The Applicant is proposing to rezone the property from the current DX-5 (Downtown Mixed-Use District) to a Residential Planned Development. (42nd Ward)
I keep seeing this process wherein property owners are seeking additional FAR via the Opportunity bonus but still proceeding with a full-on PD anyway. Is this a requirement? Or could one simply by the bonus FAR and call it a day?
