R&D and laboratory uses are not separately defined or identified as a land use category in the PMC; however, both are listed among a broad range of potential uses in the PMC's definition of"Light Industrial." R&D and laboratory uses are not expressly permitted in the C-R (p) District; thus, the project would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation if the subject site is rezoned to PUD, which is a more flexible zoning category, for which the types and parameters of allowable uses for this project would be specified (see PUD Rezoning and Uses section below). The proposed office uses would be permitted under the current and proposed zoning Districts. The General Plan indicates the average allowable development density/intensity, expressed as FAR, is 35-percent with a maximum FAR of 60-percent. Program 15.5 of the Land Use Element in the General Plan indicates, industrial, retail, and office projects should conform to the average density assumed (i.e., 35-percent FAR). However, projects may be allowed up to the maximum (i.e., 60-percent FAR) provided sufficient amenities and mitigations are incorporated into the project to justify the increased 14
