Areas around 22nd Street and 32nd Street are classified as \u201cUrban Station Areas\u201d, with the highest density and tallest buildings, while locations like 40th, 49th, and 58th streets fall into \u201cNeighborhood Station Areas\u201d with more moderate development, and 66th Street is considered a \u201cVillage Station Area\u201d with a lower overall scale. <\/p>\n
Projects in the Urban Station Area have a base FAR of 4.0, but can qualify for a 1.0 FAR bonus, setting the maximum allowable FAR at 5.0.<\/p>\n
As the overlay moves west, the Neighborhood Station Area and Village Station Area have a base FAR of 3.0 and a 1.0 FAR bonus, setting the maximum allowable FAR at 4.0.<\/p>\n
FAR bonuses can be granted through contributing to the city\u2019s Housing Capital Improvements Projects (HCIP) trust fund to support workforce housing, the purchase of transfer of development rights (TDRs) from a locally designated landmark site, or implementing specific streetscape design and retail frontage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cContiguousness is important. Having a 5.0 FAR across Central makes a lot of sense,\u201d commented Councilmember Copley Gerdes. \u201cBeing on the west side of St. Pete and wanting some of what Central has, we\u2019re spreading it out.\u201d <\/p>\n
Jake Wollman, a commercial real estate agent at KW Commercial, also said a 5.0 FAR would benefit new investment and business along the corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Areas around 22nd Street and 32nd Street are classified as \u201cUrban Station Areas\u201d, with the highest density and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-272625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
