Since <br />that time, the Boazd of Adjustment has reviewed at least three requests for <br />variances from the standazds in Article 5.1.2 as applied to churches and <br />schools. Several existing institutional uses are at or approaching the current <br />8.8 percent limit on floor area, which might preclude any significant future <br />additions to those buildings. <br />The proposed amendment would increase the maximum floor azea allowed for <br />non-residential uses legally existing as of 5/6/98 in the RB, AR, R-1, R-2, R- <br />3, and R-4 residential districts from 8.8 percent (10 percent in Planned <br />Developments, 12.3 percent in R-4) to 14.1 percent. The text of the <br />amendment is attached. The new standazd is equal to the current limit on floor <br />azea in PD-R-4 district and is consistent with actual floor area of existing <br />facilities. Other non-residential uses permitted in residential districts include <br />the following: <br />Botanical Gazdens <br />Bus Passenger Shelters <br />Governmental Protective Services <br />Cemeteries (Class B SUP) <br />Community Centers (Class B SUP) <br />Pazks <br />Ordinance Review Committee: <br />Planning Boazd: <br />BOCC: <br />
