The general planning of the multi-family development projects also accompanies zoning plans that designate multi-family residential land throughout the city. Existing multi-family lands are next to both non-residential and residential uses and should not be considered incompatible. Rather, site and building design should be prioritized and planned in a way that assures compatibility with neighboring areas and uses. Building setbacks, height, parking, landscape, and lighting are all addressed in zoning code development guidelines for multi-family residential developments.
Things to consider for multi-family development
The following are the things that fall under the consideration of multi-family development project criteria:
- Building positioning and orientation: Building placement and orientation on all multi-family sites must evaluate the physical and functional residential use, the relationship and compatibility with surrounding uses, and the visual impact and experience for residents, guests, and passersby. Multi-family projects, as defined in these standards, can range in size from a single triplex to an apartment complex with hundreds of units. Building placement and orientation will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, given the wide range of project types.
- Determine the start date: One of the most significant components of the planning process is determining the exact start date of the project. Set a date and stick to it. Remember that the contractors you choose will require time for preconstruction. Delaying construction can lead to complications later on, jeopardizing the entire project. Before it’s too late, make sure your start date is set.
- Form a quality construction team: Residential development is always a collaborative effort. Your project necessitates an expert team of builders to ensure a properly executed project. Investigate multifamily residential construction services and contact professional and bonded contractors who can assist you throughout the construction process.
- Check all of your schedules: Make sure that your schedules are in sync and that every member of your team is available on the specified building date. Your vision might become a reality if you stick to your plan and collaborate with a professional team.
- Check every detail twice: After you’ve finished a thorough draft of your project ideas, look over them again with a fine-tooth comb and get a second opinion. Examine your budget to ensure that you’re accounting for everything and that the home’s design is exactly what you want.
