7Development Potential Under Current Zoning
Transient Hotel
-Demolish 2 buildings on lot 59 to build out
site and obtain air rights from lot
68. -Motivation to build Tower in the Park
and set back from street. -Thirteen stories as
modeled, however, could reach 210 ft before
penetrating sky exposure plane.
8Development Potential Under Proposed Zoning
Transient Hotel
-Five to six stories as modeled under proposed
zoning compared to 13 stories or 210 ft under
current zoning. -Worst case is that transient
hotel reaches 80 feet under proposed zoning.
