As drafted, height limits and FAR reflect directed by the City Council at their April 16 and May 7 meetings. With respect to other development standards, such as setbacks, staff took the approach of generally following the requirements of the Office (0) district for the MU-T district; and the Central Commercial (C-C) district for the MU-D district.
