The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in Commercial/Industrial designated areas shall not exceed the above <br />cited limits. The FAR is determined by dividing the gross floor area of all floors of all buildings on <br />a development site by the area of that development site. If there is a question concerning which FAR <br />category applies to a particular use, then the applicable FAR category shall be the same category that <br />applies to the use having the most similar characteristics to the use in question. County staff shall <br />determine which use has the most similar characteristics to the original use in question. Factors used <br />to make that determination shall include the type and volume of traffic generated, parking <br />requirements, and the Standard Industrial Classification Code. <br />The FAR of mixed use projects shall be calculated by assigning a portion of the total development <br />area to each use. The sum of the portions assigned to each use must equal the total development <br />area. An exception shall be allowed for accessory residential in Commercial/Industrial designated <br />areas. That exception shall allow the entire development area to be used to calculate the number of <br />units allowed, without restricting the amount of development area available for calculating the <br />maximum FAR for primary uses. <br />USE <br />MAXIMUM INTENSITY/DENSITY <br />Retail <br />Trade <br />0.23 <br />FAR <br />Offices <br />0.35 <br />FAR <br />Policy <br />1.16: <br />Development <br />in Commercial/Industrial <br />and Personal <br />Services <br />0.35 <br />FAR <br />designated <br />8 units/acre <br />be <br />limited <br />to the <br />Manufacturing <br />areas <br />shall <br />FAR <br />Assembly <br />0.50 <br />FAR <br />following. <br />Materials <br />Processing <br />0.50 <br />FAR <br />The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in Commercial/Industrial designated areas shall not exceed the above <br />cited limits.
