This ZTA would create a new Commercial to Residential Reconstruction use, establish a new expedited approval plan type, and allow reallocation of commercial FAR to residential in certain employment zones.

This SRA creates an administrative subdivision process expediting review for Commercial to Residential Reconstruction uses.
