SITE SUMMARY
Preliminary geometric approximation based on the recorded parcel and selected zoning setback assumptions. Not a survey, permit determination, or legal buildable-area determination.
This is not a deterministic legal answer. PlanGen is not the authority having jurisdiction and reaches no entitlement or buildability decision. What follows is what public records show (evidence-cited), what appears worth exploring next — bounded possibilities, not a determination that they are buildable — and what cannot be determined yet from these sources.
SEE ON THE MAP
This parcel carries a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area designation (Zone AE) even though the address point alone maps to Zone X, and it is not yet determined whether General Historic Overlay District (Boylan Heights) applies to the whole parcel or only this location.
Material conditions found
- AE
- AE means the area is expected to flood during a base (1%-annual-chance) flood event, with a calculated flood elevation on record.
- SFHA
- A Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) is FEMA's mapped zone for the highest flood risk category. It is a mapped classification, not itself a statement about whether or how a specific site may be built on.
- Parcel vs. point
- "Point" means the single mapped address location. "Parcel" means the whole lot boundary. A fact that is true at one is not automatically true at the other.
- Setback
- A setback is the minimum distance a building must sit from a property line. The number here is a mapped reference, not a survey-confirmed line.
- UDO / FTDO
- The UDO (Unified Development Ordinance) is Raleigh's zoning and development rulebook. The Frequent Transit Development Option (FTDO) is a conditional, optional pathway some parcels near frequent transit can explore -- it is not an approval and does not by itself expand what a specific site may build.
- Confirm with the city's historic-preservation office (Historic Development Commission) whether General Historic Overlay District (Boylan Heights) applies to the whole parcel and whether a Certificate of Appropriateness review applies.the city's historic-preservation office (Historic Development Commission)
- Get a flood determination from a licensed surveyor or flood-certification professional, including a FIRMette for this parcel.a licensed surveyor / flood-certification professional
- Confirm the applicable setback minimums for this district with a licensed design professional (architect or engineer) before finalizing any building footprint.a licensed design professional (architect or engineer)
Decision summary
A plain-language summary of what has been checked so far, built only from what is already recorded on this project. This is not a recommendation and not a professional judgment.
This address matched a specific property record — no conflicts were found between the address, geocode match, and parcel record compared for property identity.

Public record - General Historic Overlay DistrictMapped at this address point — Boylan Heights. Parcel-wide applicability not determined from the current source.
General Historic Overlay District adds rules on top of the base zoning where it applies.
Public record - Flood zoneParcel intersects Zones AE and X. The address point falls in Zone X. Parcel-scale flood exposure requires review. (Area Of Minimal Flood Hazard at the address point.)FEMA
- FloodwayNo floodway at the address point or across the parcel, per the FEMA record.FEMA
- Lot size0.15 deed acres; about 0.15 acres (6,595 sq ft) from the mapped parcel boundary.
The mapped boundary is not a survey.

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS / WHAT IT MEANS
- Frequent Transit AreaYes. The whole parcel is inside the City's mapped Frequent Transit Area.Mapped context
- Frequent Transit Development OptionAvailable.
Creates access to additional building types and reduced lot-area, setback and lot-width minimums under UDO Sec. 2.7.1. This does not guarantee approval, a specific density, or a specific unit count, and not every development type automatically qualifies -- see the comparison below for what actually governs on this parcel.
UDO - Overlay checkSee the overlay(s) named above.
One or more mapped overlays were found at this address point; see the named overlay bullet(s) above for what applies and what is still unresolved.
Mapped context - Opportunity areaShown on the workspace map when this deployment's geometry feature is enabled.
A uniform inward offset of the mapped parcel boundary by the largest recorded UDO minimum setback for the base district -- an illustration of setback geometry, not a buildable-area determination, not a survey, and it does not account for easements, utilities, stormwater, trees, or overlay standards.
NEEDS VERIFICATION
- General Historic Overlay District — parcel-wide applicabilityNot determined from the current source
Whether General Historic Overlay District applies to the whole parcel, only part of it, or only the mapped address point has not been determined.
Public record - Flood zone -- parcel-scale reviewParcel-scale flood exposure needs review
The parcel intersects a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area designation while the address point itself does not -- review the parcel-scale record, not only the point classification, before relying on the point answer alone.

WHAT WE HAVE NOT CHECKED
- Building footprintNot retrieved this run
Building footprints are not persisted in this enrichment snapshot, so none is recorded here and no conclusion about structures follows from this field. PlanGen can retrieve one live from the City of Raleigh Building_Footprints source when the workspace map is viewed, for a property whose identity is independently corroborated, as this one currently is.
- Outside this product's scopeMarket Economics, Stormwater, Survey, Title Easements, Topography, Trees, Utilities
This product does not check these at all -- they are not gaps in this run, they are never attempted by this product. A licensed professional, a title company, or the appropriate public record is required for each.
WHAT MATTERS NOW
No findings have been recorded.
Requires professional verification: Setbacks.
Conditions found: Zoning, Overlays, Flood (parcel), Plans & documents.
Checked, conditional/mapped-context only: Frequent transit / urban form, Lot geometry & dimensions.
Not checked yet: Building footprint.
