Woodrow, located between Arthur Kill Road and the Outerbridge Crossing, is a suburban and waterfront Staten Island neighborhood with a low-rise streetscape and a marsh-edge horizon. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Arthur Kill Road corridor near Woodrow Road, where small delis, auto shops, and everyday services line a car-oriented strip. Detached houses and newer townhome clusters sit on wide lots, with pockets of woods and wetlands shaping the edges. The Staten Island Greenbelt’s southern reaches set a quiet, outdoorsy backdrop for walks and bike rides. Freshkills Park frames nearby open space on a scale rare in the city. The shoreline and industrial waterways add a working-harbor feel at the margins.

The 0.5 floor area ratio (FAR) in R3X districts may be increased by an attic allowance of up to 20 percent for the inclusion of space beneath a pitched roof. The perimeter wall may rise to 21 feet before sloping or being set back to a maximum building height of 35 feet. The amount of required open space on a lot is governed by yard requirements. Two side yards that total at least 10 feet are required and there must be a minimum distance of eight feet between houses on adjacent lots. The front yard of a new home must be at least 10 feet deep and, to promote a unified streetscape, it must be at least as deep as an adjacent front yard but need not exceed a depth of 20 feet.
