Floor Area Bonuses Allowed for Mixed-Used Properties Under the Philadelphia Zoning Code

By Alan Nochumson and Clementa Amazan
November 01, 2020

The first part of this series on "zoning" bonuses in the city of Philadelphia looked at the Mixed Income Housing, Green Roof and Fresh Food Market Bonuses (see, "Density and Dimensional Bonuses Allowed for Mixed-Used Properties Under the Philadelphia Zoning Code," CLLS October 2020). In Part Two, we explore Floor Area Bonuses provided under the Mixed Incoming Housing, Green Building, and Underground Accessory Parking & Loading Bonuses, which are available, in whole or in part, to properties with a zoning classification of CMX-3, CMX-3 within the Transit-Oriented Development Overlay (TOD), or CMX-4.

The CMX-3 zoning classification was created to accommodate larger-scale commercial uses and retail.

The TOD was designed to promote increased use of public transit and create dynamic neighborhoods around transit stations. Currently, there are four Market-Frankford Line stations which are included within this overlay district: 46th Street Station, Erie-Torresdale Station, Allegheny Station, and Spring Garden Station. Lots within 500 linear feet from the entrance or exit stops are within this district.
