For property designated on the land use map as "Commercial and Offices," floor area per acre will vary up to a maximum of 32,670 sq.ft. per acre (FAR=0.T5). An exception to this maximum floor area ratio shall be the Central business district where floor area per acre can reach 130,680 sq.ft., for an FAR of Commercial and office district zoning provides for a series of FAR limitations below 0.75 based on specific zoning classifications other than PUD or C-R. Neighborhood Commercial zoned projects (chiefly shopping centers of three to eight acres in size) are limited to an FAR of 0.30, Commercial Freeway zoned projects to an FAR of 0.40 and standard Office zoned projects to an FAR of It is anticipated that the most intense commercial and office development outside the central business district will occur in PUD and C-R zoned areas. Subject to City review procedures, projects in these areas will tend to reach higher floor area ratios, typically ranging from 0.40 to 0.75 FAR. Areas designated "General and Limited Industrial" shall be limited to 43,560 sq.ft. per acre, or an FAR of 1.0. Generat Industrial zones are limited to an FAR of 1.0 representing a maximum of 43,560 sq.ft. per acre. Industrial Park zones are limited to an FAR of 0.50, representing a maximum of 21,780 sq.ft. per acre. Areas designated "Industrial/Commercial and Offices," allowing commercial and offices with General and Limited Industrial as mixed uses, shall be limited to maximum floor area ratios indicated above for the "Commercial and Offices" areas and "General and Limited Industrial" areas, depending upon the uses of indivudal sites. For instance, a commercial or office project under PUD zoning with an "Industrial/Commercial and Offices" designation may reach an FAR of .75, while an industrial project on the same site may reach an FAR of 1.0. The total FAR for any single mixed use project, commonly referred to as a "business perk," shall be established at the time of project approval. Most business parks are anticipated to be limited to total FAR of 0.50 considering the entire area of the business park. Individual lots within such business parks may exceed this average, as allowed by the regulations approving the project, so long as the General Plan limitations are not exceeded. Actual anticipated development will vary widely within the ranges discussed above. The Circulation Element of the General Plan has been designed to accommodate a mix of intensity in the various geographic areas of the dOmmunity. -2-
