The Suffolk Downs Overlay District ("SDOD") is herein established as an overlay district. The purpose of the SDOD is to encourage the orderly and comprehensive redevelopment of land that includes the former Suffolk Downs thoroughbred racetrack facility, through the creation of a high-quality mixed use neighborhood that will include an appropriate mix of uses, including office, lab space, retail, hotel, residential, and other uses, that will be attractive to large-scale employers of growing industries, and that will advance the goals of promoting the common good, improving the quality of life of all residents of Revere, enhancing and expanding job creation, open space, housing development, and transportation, securing public safety from fire, flood, and other natural catastrophes, providing sufficient light and air, making adequate provision for transportation, water, water supply, drainage, sewerage, parks, open space, and preservation of natural resources, preserving or increasing public amenities, and providing adequate net tax revenue to offset any effects posed by large-scale development.

Where a person or entity has elected or is required to comply with the provisions of this section, the dimensional regulations set forth below apply to any project within the SDOD and the dimensional regulations applicable in the underlying district as set forth in Chapter 17.24 of this title shall not apply in the SDOD. For purposes of determining whether the proposal satisfies these requirements, the entire area of the SDOD shall be considered one lot, irrespective of the individual lots or parcels comprising that area. Where a proposed building is located partially within the city of Revere and partially within the city of Boston, the following dimensional requirements shall only apply to that portion of a proposed building located in the city of Revere and the municipal boundary shall not be considered a lot line for purposes hereof. No portion of land within another municipality may be used to satisfy dimensional requirements applicable to Revere, except as expressly provided in this section. Contiguous land located outside of the SDOD, but owned or controlled by an entity (or related entity) owning land within the SDOD, may be used to satisfy the dimensional requirements of this Section 17.26.050.
A. 
Maximum height: Building heights for each portion of the SDOD shall not exceed the maximum height applicable to such area as set forth in the height zone map attached hereto as Exhibit B (as amended from time to time, the "SDOD Height Zone Map").[1] Parapets less than five feet high, chimneys, flag poles, ventilators, water tanks, antennas, penthouses, solar panels, wind generators and associated towers, and other projections used for or intended to be used exclusively for utility or telecommunications services or access to the roof may exceed the height limitations of this chapter by not more than thirty feet. Maximum height for buildings shall be (i) fifty feet within seventy-five feet, and one hundred feet within one hundred twenty feet, of the portion of the SDOD boundary line that abuts Washburn Ave. as shown on the SDOD Height Zone Map, and (ii) seventy feet within fifty feet of the portion of the SDOD boundary line that abuts Winthrop Ave. as shown on the SDOD Height Zone Map.
[1]
Editor's note: Exhibit B is available at the office of the city clerk.
B. 
Minimum building setback from SDOD boundary lines: Twenty feet, provided that a minimum setback of thirty feet is required from the portion of the SDOD boundary line that abuts Washburn Ave. as shown on the SDOD Height Zone Map, and no setback is required at the portion of the SDOD boundary line that is also the municipal boundary with the city of Boston.
C. 
Minimum open space: The minimum open space (as defined below) within the SDOD shall be twenty-five percent of the total land area of the SDOD, or, as applicable, during periods when the redevelopment of the SDOD has not been completed, twenty-five percent of the portion of the SDOD that has been redeveloped as of the time of such calculation. As used herein, "open space" shall mean and include parks, playgrounds, active sports and recreation areas, passive recreation areas, plazas, benches and sitting areas, greens and lawns, wooded, natural, and wetland areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, sidewalks and walkways, exercise areas and rooms, handball, paddleball, and/or squash courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools, and building patios, courtyards, and terraces, provided however that such areas shall be considered open space only if open to the public. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating Open Space, all of the land within the SDOD, including land within any and all private ways, shall be considered one lot. Compliance with the foregoing shall be subject to review and approval under Section 17.26.060.
D. 
Density: Except by special permit from the city council, the floor area ratio, as defined in Section 17.08.300 of this title, shall not exceed 2.5. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the floor area ratio, all of the land within the SDOD shall be considered one lot. Parking facilities and any public service pumping station, public service sub-station, transformer station, telecommunications exchange or distribution center, or central plant facility serving more than one building for heating and cooling or other building services shall be excluded from the gross square feet included in the calculation of floor area ratio.
E. 
Minimum commercial development: As provided in the final master plan PUD (as defined below), at least fifty percent of the total permitted gross square feet that may be developed within all buildings within the SDOD (based on the total land area within the SDOD, the permitted floor area ratio and the full redevelopment of the SDOD), shall be used for uses permitted under Section 17.26.040 other than dwelling uses and elderly housing uses. Parking facilities and any public service pumping station, public service sub-station, transformer station, telecommunications exchange or distribution center, or central plant facility serving more than one building for heating and cooling or other building services shall be excluded from the calculation of completed and permitted floor areas for purposes of this section.

The mayor shall establish a project advisory group ("PAG") to work with the applicant and the city throughout the master plan PUD public planning process. The purpose of the PAG shall be to provide input and feedback on various development scenarios that will constitute the master plan PUD. The PAG would meet as often as required, but no less than monthly until a master plan PUD special permit is issued and the membership of the PAG shall be established by the mayor, in consultation with the developer. A new PAG may be established by the mayor for any major amendment of the master plan PUD special permit or for consultation with the project review board under Section 17.26.070.B.
