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.
