Eligible Projects
In order to be eligible to use the Opportunity Corridors 1A Alternate Typology, a project must be on a lot, in whole or in part, mapped in the OC-1 Opportunity Corridors Incentive Set on the Mixed Income Housing Incentive Map (Sec. 1.5.17.), and must be utilizing, and meeting all requirements of, Sec. 9.2.3. (Opportunity Corridors Housing Incentive Program).
Intent
The Opportunity Corridors 1A Alternate Typology is intended to establish a package of alternative standards for housing projects to encourage the provision of restricted affordable units in exchange for incentives such as additional allowable floor area and height in order to increase the feasibility of construction. The alternate typology facilitates the Opportunity Corridors Housing Incentive Program (Sec. 9.2.3.) and establishes the citywide baseline standards for mixed-income housing projects that are appropriate along major streets with transit service.

Eligible Projects
In order to be eligible to use the Corridor Transitions 1 Alternate Typology, a project must be on a lot mapped in the CT-1 Corridor Transitions Incentive Set on the Mixed Income Housing Incentive Map (Sec. 1.5.17.), and must be utilizing, and meeting all requirements of, Sec. 9.2.4. (Corridor Transitions Incentive Program).
Intent
The Corridor Transitions 1 Alternate Typology is intended to establish a package of alternative standards for housing projects in order to facilitate the creation and development of restricted affordable units in lower density areas in the City, and aid in smoothing the transition between higher-scale development along principal corridors to lower-scale development in interior neighborhoods. The Corridor Transitions 1 Alternate Typology provides moderate increases in density and floor area ratio to meet this goal, while controlling for lower-scale residential design needs and constraints. The alternate typology facilitates the Corridor Transitions Incentive Program (Sec. 9.2.4.).
