Public hearing to consider recommending the City Council approve a General Plan Text Amendment to clarify the allowable Floor Area Ratios (FAR) at Harbor Bay Business Park. This amendment would make consistent the Land Use Element text and the existing business park Planned Development zoning regulations by clarifying that a 0.5 FAR limit only applies to the portion of the Harbor Bay Business Park located between the lagoon and the bay, between the intersections of Mecartney Road and Adelphian Way to the north, and North Loop Road and Harbor Bay Parkway to the south. The clarification results in an internally consistent Land Use Element and aligns the Business Park land use classification with existing entitlements, as well as the City’s past practice and historical interpretation.
