WHITE FLINT SECTOR PLAN:NoBe P HASE II: OBSTACLES TO IMPROVEMENT

Phase II contains four, fully-leased office buildings whichrequires sufficient density to incentivize redevelopment.

Staff recommends 2.5 FAR with the ability to get to 3.0through a transfer.

The minimal base density requisite for redevelopment atthis site is 3.5, an appropriate amount for a site that is lessthan a quarter mile from Metro

Density caps prevent the minimal addition of density(


16/16

WHITE FLINT SECTOR PLAN:ROCKWALL OFFICE BUILDINGS : CORRECTIVE MEASURES

Rezone the Rockwall office buildings to TMX (or othermixed-use zone as part of White Flint Sectional MapAmendment).
