a. "Maximum Floor Area Ratio" is the maximum permitted ratio of the Gross Square Footage of a building or buildings on a Parcel to the total Parcel area.The Gross Square Footage of a building or buildings shall be the sum of the area of each floor,excluding mechanical penthouses and subgrade basements, measured horizontally to the outside faces of the exterior walls. b. Any Parcel containing a single structure that combines differing story height elements shall have a Maximum Floor Area Ratio equal to that ratio indicated for the highest number of stories. c. Any Parcel upon which separate structures of differing story height elements are constructed shall have a Maximum Floor Area Ratio equal to a weighted average of Minimum Floor Area Ratio for each type of structure;such average shall be computed using as weights the actual number of square feet contained in each structure as specified in the formula below. Let X = square footage of one story structure Let Y = square footage of two story structure Let Z = square footage of three story structure Let W = square footage of four story structure Let 35%,40%,45%,and 50%be the Maximum Floor Area Ratio for one-story,two-story,three-story,and four-story structures, respectively- Then X + Y + Z + W Must be less than or equal to the total .35 .40 .45 .50 square footage of the Parcel 2. "Maximum Height" is the vertical distance by which any part of an Improvement rises above the top of the highest street curb on or immediately adjacent to the Parcel, or the vertical distance from the top of the building pad to the top of the highest point of any improvement, whichever is greater. 3. "Minimum Landscape Ratio"is the minimum permitted ratio of the square footage of the total landscape area to the total Parcel area. See also the Landscape Requirements in the Appendix table,Landscape Required Adjacent to Buildings.Landscape Area shall include all planting, walks, and plaza areas located on the grounds but not those on structures. 4. "Minimum Parking Ratio" is the minimum permitted ratio of the number of parking spaces on a Parcel to the Gross Square Footage of a building or buildings on a Parcel. Notwithstanding the Minimum Parking Ratio set forth in this table, the use of any Parcel or portion of a Parcel for any type of medical/dental clinics or related facilities shall require a Minimum Parking Ratio of 1 per 250 square feet of that specific use. Prior to the issuance of a business license, zoning certification and/or a building permit, the applicant for any medical occupancy must submit written documentation of current use,square footage and available parking for the subject site demonstrating the availability of 4.00 parking spaces/1,000 square feet of gross floor area for that portion of the site devoted to medical use. 5. The Maximum Floor Area Ratio and Minimum Parking Ratio for all buildings within the CPD District shall be limited as follows: Maximum Floor Minimum Uses Area Ratio Parking Ratio Free Standing Restaurant 12.5% 1 per 150 sf Hotel/Motel 40.0%except 1 per room plus 1 per employee at maximum shift 60.0%on Parcel 56A Garden Office 40.0% 1 per 250 sf Commercial/Retail 30.0% 1 per 200 sf Hotel/Motel uses combined with restaurant uses on a single parcel shall provide parking equal to the requirements for hotel/motel use plus the restaurant use,treating each individually.Specialized commercial land uses such as auto sales shall be reviewed on a case by case basis with regard to variances to the above criteria. 6. Residential land uses shall be subject to individual site plan approval;site plan shall respect the spirit of the Design Guidelines and shall be subject to approval by the Hacienda Owners Association's Design Review Committee and the city. 7. Development standards for MOIPD uses shall be determined by the use proposed for the site.These standards shall be based on the number of floors proposed in the tallest proposed building on the site and shall be as follows:
