By opening up the layers panel in the upper righthand corner, you can turn off the proposed zoning districts by clicking on the "eye" icon next to them and turn on other layers. This image shows the proposed maximum building heights for the areas to be rezoned before bonuses are utilized. (Note: these bonuses are not currently available for redevelopment to earn height. They are part of the proposed rezoning.)

For this map, the proposed maximum heights achievable by fully utilizing the height bonus system called the Performance Points System. These height bonuses were created over five years ago to establish a predictable way for new development projects to be taller in exchange for meeting community goals as established in a menu of options. The bonus system is being applied to areas of the city with major rezonings which have so far taken place for the Uptown area, and all 35 miles of Pittsburgh's riverfront areas. No building could be built taller than the heights shown on this map regardless of how many bonuses it uses.

Not sure what the current zoning is for an area? Use the layer panel in the upper righthand corner to turn this layer on and turn off the proposed zoning layers. You can also turn on layers showing the existing maximum heights allowed and heights that may be achieved through seeking a Special Exception at the Zoning Board of Adjustments. A major part of the Oakland Plan zoning proposal is to allow taller buildings than could currently be built through a predictable and established height bonus system that doesn't exist in Oakland today.

Sections illustrate maximum possible height with Performance Points bonuses and no Urban Open Space provided (if included, Urban Open Space would reduce overall building square footage). Location on block is general, the illustration is intended to show maximum build out for any location in this area.
