Notes:
[1] Except as allowed by SUPERBONUS!
[2] In the CC4 zone the FAR for all nonresidential uses may not be greater than the FAR for the residential uses located on the same parcel. Nonresidential uses are limited to a maximum of three thousand square feet per parcel.
[3] The basic allowable FAR is permitted by complying with basic development guidelines and standards through a ministerial process. If development projects incorporate specified and described public amenities allowing bonus FAR, the FAR may be increased up to the maximum through a ministerial process intended to ensure that the each amenity both satisfies its design criteria and serves a public purpose in the proposed location. In issuing permits for projects requesting bonus FAR, the planning director may request a recommendation from the design review board before a building permit is issued. Amenities provided must be associated with the use for which the FAR increase is sought. Proposed public amenities shall have a public benefit that is appropriate considering the FAR increase being achieved.
[4] Exceptions.
A. Hotels and motels (including bed and breakfast inns) are considered residential uses for the purpose of FAR.
B. Exclusions from floor area calculations:
1. Floor area dedicated to parking.
2. Elevators, staircases, escalators and mechanical spaces.
3. Exterior decks, porches and arcades open to the air.
4. Floor area dedicated to public amenities.
[5] There is no maximum amount of residential FAR that can be achieved by the public amenity bonus system.
