Specifications include, but are not limited to: The ideal projects on these sites satisfy the EDA’s goals of increasing the tax base and promoting dense, walkable environments referenced throughout this RFQ. They will incorporate a requested minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.75 as consistent with the Planning guidance. Proposals are anticipated to include some 4-7 story buildings, but could also incorporate a mix of housing types including compact single-family units or townhomes with market rate and/or luxury opportunities to increase the tax base. These should incorporate commercial and residential uses where possible and amenities that make the project attractive to both current and future residents. Former Park & Ride site: Ideally the EDA would like to see entertainment or community-oriented uses on this site. The EDA would also support retail and/or restaurants integrated or along-side a multi-family development project.
