285 Wild Ave Staten Island, NY 10314

This large, irregularly shaped lot, measuring 148 feet by 171 feet, is zoned M1-1 and situated in Travis, conveniently located off the 440 highway near the former LA Fitness. The property is also known as 285 Wilde Avenue. According to the NYC Department of Building, floor area ratios in M1 districts range from 1.0 to 10.0, depending on the location. Building height and setbacks are controlled by a sky exposure plane, which may be penetrated by a tower in certain districts. While new industrial buildings are typically low-rise structures fitting within the sky exposure plane, commercial and community facility buildings can be constructed as towers in M1-3 through M1-6 districts. In the highest density manufacturing district, M1-6, located only in Manhattan, a floor area ratio of 12 can be achieved with a bonus for a public plaza. Except along district boundaries, side yards are not required. Rear yards at least 20 feet deep are generally required, except within 100 feet of a corner. Parking and loading requirements vary with the district and use. M1-1, M1-2, and M1-3 districts are subject to parking requirements based on the type of use and size of an establishment. For example, a warehouse in an M1-1 district requires one off-street parking space per 2,000 square feet of floor area or per every three employees, whichever is less. Parking is not required in Long Island City or M1-4, M1-5, and M1-6 districts, which are mainly in Manhattan. Requirements for loading berths of specified dimensions differ according to district, size, and type of use. A survey is not available; consulting with an architect is recommended.
