The first ordinance applied solely to Planned Development areas. It was <br /> expanded in 2007 to include the Central Business District periphery area. In each neighborhood <br /> where the density bonus is in effect,the City worked with Neighborhood Associations in order to <br /> determine the public benefit priorities.A partial list of public benefits includes: <br /> • Affordable housing* <br /> • Public open space* <br /> • Transit support subsidy* <br /> • Enhanced public access to waterfront* <br /> • Enhanced streetscape design* <br /> • Increased sidewalk area/width* <br /> • Artist studio and indoor-outdoor performance space* <br /> • Child care center space <br /> • LEED Certified Construction. <br /> • Neighborhood serving commercial/retail floor area <br /> For most of these benefits,the bonus is calculated at a 10:1 ratio; for each $1 of benefit the project <br /> receives $10 worth of bonus. Starred (*) items in the above list are high priority for the City; they <br /> receive an additional 0.1 FAR bonus beyond the 10:1 ratio calculations. <br /> The two ordinances (Sec. 27-328 and Sec. 27-329) are described in detail in the Municipal Code <br /> under Chapter 27,Article XIII, available at: <br /> http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=10132 <br /> Page 15 of 15 <br />
