The DT-AC allows for a maximum intensity of 3.0 FAR and a minimum intensity of 0.75 FAR. This project is requesting a development program of +/- 11,801 sq. ft. of retail space and +/- 104,000 sq. ft. of office space with a +/-420 car parking garage with 30 surface parking spaces. This program equates to 1.17 floor area ratio (115,801 sq. ft./ 98,581 sq. ft.), which complies with the FAR minimum and maximum requirements for the AC-3A/T zoning district. Conformance with the LDC The AC-3A zoning district is intended to create and strengthen this character by ensuring that guidelines are provided for new development to be compatible with existing development in use as well as design. The Code also states: The linear core subdistricts shown on Figure DT-4, of the Growth Management Plan, of which the AC-3A zoning district is primarily composed, are designed to accommodate high intensity development. The support subdistricts, as identified in the Downtown Element of the Growth Management Plan, contain zoning districts with lower intensities and densities. Both the linear core and support subdistricts are essential for a vital downtown.
