This review was conducted for analytical purposes only and does not constitute a development recommendation.
Zoning Conditions
Residential use is permitted under Use Group 2 within an R6A zoning district. Maximum permitted FAR is 3.0. The existing development reflects 4.54 FAR, indicating that allowable density has already been fully utilized under current zoning regulations.
As-of-right zoning does not provide any remaining development capacity.
Physical and Contextual Conditions
The lot geometry is regular and fully built to its effective envelope. The existing footprint utilizes the maximum practical lot coverage, leaving no meaningful opportunity for horizontal expansion without full demolition.
Rear yard and adjacency conditions function as the controlling open space constraints due to close neighboring buildings, confirming that the site is effectively built out.
Bulk and Envelope Constraints
Bulk and envelope controls, including rear yard requirements, lot coverage limits, and contextual height regulations, fully constrain the site.
No vertical or horizontal enlargement is achievable without violating envelope controls or removing existing structures.
The current built form represents the maximum practical envelope under R6A zoning.
Parking and Circulation
Parking and circulation do not provide a viable path to additional development capacity.
Access and service constraints reinforce the conclusion that enlargement or expansion is not feasible within existing zoning and physical conditions.
Fully utilized FAR resulting in zero remaining as-of-right development capacity.
Any redevelopment, enlargement, or expansion would require discretionary approvals through CPC or BSA and falls outside early-stage as-of-right feasibility analysis.
Stop
The site was eliminated at screening and not advanced to massing or financial analysis.
