32 <br /> approximately 500,000 sq.ft. of building area/land uses (Exhibit F). <br /> The FAR either needs to be: <br /> • Modified to be consistent with the building square footage <br /> utilized in the development of the TIA, <br /> • The TIA need to be modified to document traffic impacts <br /> anticipated for the square footage of proposed building <br /> area based on a FAR of .65, or <br /> • A condition needs to be recommended that floor area <br /> exceeding that studied as part of the TIA will require <br /> modification to the MPD-CZ consistent with Section 2.9.2 <br /> of the UDO. <br /> The FAR for the Project should also be listed on the Master <br /> Concept Plan, specifically sheet(s) C 2.0 and/or 2.1. <br /> iii. Open Space: the Narrative indicates there will be a minimum of <br /> 30% open space for the project, translating to approximately 32 <br /> acres of land area. Please correct the narrative to reflect 30% of <br /> the proposed 104 acre development site. <br /> iv. Proposed building height for the Project is listed at a maximum of <br /> 60 ft. Existing language indicates `accessory structures' may <br /> exceed 60 ft. in overall height. Typically there are additional <br /> setback requirements for structures exceeding 40 ft. in height per <br /> Section 3.7 of the UDO. Staff recommends references in the <br /> narrative to a '60 ft. height limit' be replaced with the following: <br /> Buildings within the development shall abide by the <br /> height limitations and allowances established within <br /> Section 3.4 Office/Research and Manufacturinq of the <br /> UDO. Building height shall be limited to 35 ft. 2 feet of <br /> additional height shall be allowed for one foot increase in <br /> require setback from an external road/property line with a <br /> maximum cap of 60 ft. <br /> Additional information is required on the anticipated accessory land <br /> uses exceeding the 60 ft. height limit. Put simply: the applicant will <br /> need to provide a detailed list of land uses, other than signs, <br /> exceeding the height limit and the rationale for same. <br /> Height limit(s) will also need to be listed on the Master Concept <br /> Plan, specifically sheet(s) C 2.0 and/or 2.1. <br /> v. A total impervious surface limit should be established for the <br /> project. Under current regulations, development with this area of <br /> the County could be a maximum of 70% with compliance <br /> development of stormwater control measures. <br /> After conferring with the Director, it has been recommended the <br /> narrative contain language discussing the cumulative/shared nature <br /> of the development (i.e. shared access roads, shared parking, <br /> common stormwater control measures, open space preservation, <br /> 10 <br />
