Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends Option #1.Staff recommends Option #1. At this time, the best course of action may be to correct the FAR requirements for the C-4 and C-5 zoning districts to match the intent of the 1970 FAR requirements, correct the FAR definition (and calculation), and clarify that all FAR measures are the maximums allowed. The FAR requirements will likely not control development intensity unless a multi-story hotel or motel is constructed. Instead, other area requirements combined with required parking will typically continue to determine maximum development density.
