What are the key differences between the Union Square Neighbors (USN) petition and the October 2006 City petition?

Height: The USN petition allows the tallest buildings to be 5 stories/60 feet tall on the west side of Prospect, 6 stories/70 feet tall on the east side. This keeps the heights in scale with Union Square and the surrounding neighborhood. The City petition allows buildings to be 10 stories/120 feet tall. Setbacks: The City petition allows new contruction adjacent to the residential districts to be built without a setback, and with a height setback – both of which are required in other PUDs in the city. The USN petition allows an FAR of 3.5 within 100 feet of the main streets, 3.0 beyond 100 feet, reducing the incentive to overbuild adjacent to residential neighborhoods.
