Underbuilt Corner Site — R7-2

Early-stage screening indicates that the site is structurally feasible as-of-right, with envelope outcomes sensitive to competing street-wall and setback rules driven by dual street frontages.

Key Observations

Zoning & Use

The property is located within an R7-2 district with a C1-4 commercial overlay. Residential use is permitted as-of-right. The existing multiple dwelling use is conforming under current zoning provisions. The commercial overlay affects ground-floor use only and does not modify the residential bulk envelope at the screening stage.

The existing multiple dwelling use is conforming under current zoning provisions. The commercial overlay affects ground-floor use only and does not modify the residential bulk envelope at the screening stage.

Bulk & Envelope

The site is materially underbuilt relative to the applicable as-of-right FAR, indicating unused development capacity in principle. As a corner lot with two street frontages of differing widths, bulk translation will be governed by street-wall and setback rules applicable to both wide and narrow streets. These conditions affect how theoretical FAR may translate into buildable form but do not represent a structural constraint at the screening stage.

Parking & Access

The site is located within an Inner Transit Zone. Off-street parking is not required for as-of-right residential development under current zoning rules.

Primary Constraint

No primary structural zoning constraint identified at the screening stage.

Early Screening Verdict

Proceed with Risk

From an early-stage zoning and bulk perspective, the site is structurally feasible for as-of-right residential development. However, final envelope outcomes are sensitive to competing street-wall and setback rules associated with dual street frontages and must be resolved through detailed massing analysis.

Items Requiring Confirmation

Final envelope outcomes are sensitive to dual street frontages. The interaction of street-wall and setback rules applicable to wide and narrow streets must be resolved during detailed massing and envelope analysis to confirm achievable buildable form.
