12 <br />475,000 square feet of parking, loading, and storage area <br />Total BVR of .028 <br />iii. SVR =1.065 <br />iv. This analysis is based on service/retail uses only. If you add <br />Office/Institutional uses it becomes impossible to properly <br />calculate the SVR ratio. <br />b. District III: <br />i. Landscape Volume Ratio: 23,242,000 square feet of landscape <br />area or a LVR of 1.11 (this includes existing vegetation that will be <br />preserved and proposed new landscaping as outlined within the <br />application) <br />ii. Building Volume Ratio: 440,000 square feet of building area, <br />550,000 square feet of parking, loading, and storage area <br />Total BVR of .052 <br />iii. SVR =1.058 <br />iv. This analysis is based on service/retail uses only. If you add <br />Office/Institutional uses, Wholesale uses, or residential uses it <br />becomes impossible to properly calculate the SVR ratio. <br />c. We cannot complete an analysis of the proposed development of <br />District II given the intended mixed use nature of the district. We \. <br />have no idea how many offices versus retail versus .residential we <br />will have. As this district is truly intended to be the `main street <br />promenade' are with multiple uses, the current composite ratios as <br />outlined within the Economic Development design manual will <br />prevent the development of this district as envisioned. <br />The rationale for the request is that these concepts are easier to understand and <br />represent, in both graphic and statistical form, and are recognized as a universal <br />tool by developers and planners to gauge development intensity. <br />The applicant is proposing a maximum floor area ratio of point thirty (.30) and a <br />maximum building height of six (6) stories. <br />STAFF BACKGROUND AND CC~NIlVIENT: <br />In reviewing the appropriateness and viability of Design Solution Two (2), staff would like to offer <br />the following comments: • <br />1. It is virtually impossible to calculate the SVR for this project as this is application is <br />seeking approval of a Master Plan versus a site specific development plan, <br />2. If we attempt to calculate the overall SVR number for the entire development, the <br />individual Districts, and compare these calculations with. the applicants request to utilize a <br />
