Q

Team must calculate combined density because the team cannot perform separate residential and nonresidential density calculations for all areas.

Total floor area for all surrounding buildings within 1/4 mile radius is 1,500,000 SF and the total buildable land is 62 acres.

Does the project meet the minimum combined density requirements for LT-C Surrounding density and diverse uses?

A

Yes.

Density = 24,193 SF/Acre
Requirement = 22,000 SF/Acre - For (2) Points

Q

Hotel team determines that 1/4 MI radius includes a mixed use development with 60% residential and 40% office based on building floor area. Total buildable land is 20 acres. 110 dwelling units and 200,000 SF of office and retail.

Does project team meet surrounding density requirements for LT-C Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses?

A

Yes:

9DU/Acre and .57 FAR
Res-BLA = 12 acres = .6x20
Res-Den = 9DU/Acre = 110 DU/12 acres
N.Res-BLA = 8 acres = .4x20
N.Res-Den = 348,480SF = 8x43,560SF
N.Res-BLA = .57 FAR - 200,000SF/348,480SF

Requirements = 7 DU/Acre, .5 FAR
