What can legally go here
Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

Homes, as a range
| Case | Homes | How |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 34 | 29,846 sq ft × 0.7 ÷ 599 sq ft |
| Base | 43 | 29,846 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft |
| High | 45 | 30,446 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 50, capped at 30,446 ÷ 680 (ZR 23-52) |
Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.
Some figures are shown as a span because the Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on conditions we could not settle from public data: qualifying residential site (R1 to R5), which depends on whether the building contains qualifying senior housing; how the commercial district is mapped along the block front.
What binds first
Flood hazard
Part of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules. Flood-resistant construction shapes the ground floor and can reduce usable floor area.
What the neighborhood asked for
Staten Island Community Board 3's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.
Staten Island Community Board 3's FY2027 budget requests include none in the categories we track (housing, older adults, child care, libraries, health, community space, open space).
What gets in the way
Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.
- Hazard
In the 1% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)
Part of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules.
- Hazard
In the 1% annual chance floodplain (effective 2007 map)
MapPLUTO flags part of the site in the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's effective 2007 Flood Insurance Rate Map, which flood insurance still uses.
- Hazard
Stormwater flooding in a moderate storm (2050s)
DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (moderate stormwater flood with 2050 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) on part of the site.
- Hazard
Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)
DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft), deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) and future high tides on part of the site.
- Caution
Floor area depends on a condition we could not settle
The Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on conditions public data does not settle here (qualifying residential site (R1 to R5)), so the figures show the span. The reasons are given under the floor area figures.
- Caution
Split zoning
The site lies in more than one zoning district (R3-1, R3-2 and R3X). Floor area is computed portion by portion.
- Note
In the Special South Richmond Development District
Regulates open space, trees, housing type, minimum lot size and yards; it does not change residential or community facility FAR ratios (it only removes two community facility yard bonuses that the base pack does not model). It does not change the floor area figures above.

What this doesn't account for
This page shows what public data and the zoning text can tell us. These questions need information that isn't public, or a decision that isn't ours.
- Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
- Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
- Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
- (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
- Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
- Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
- Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
- Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
- Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
- Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
- Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
- Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
- Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
- State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
- Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.
