You took the square footage area of the Site, m thiS case It was 24 46 acres, multIplIed It by an acre, which was 43,560 square feet and then multiply that by 45 AssumIng the City had the correct

there as long as It was not the majorIty use on the property So In the case of Waterford, the Waterford apartments were a smaller use, approxImately five acres, where the commercial use was approximately seven acres The density of Waterford was 47 UnIts to the acre The City did not have a mixed use land use designatIOn at the tIme Waterford was completed, so there was nothIng to which the City could refer The mixed use land use desIgnatIOn came from the west side of town through Tralee and the project at San Ramon Road and Alcosta Boulevard In the east, the mixed use designatIOn came to the City with Fallon VIllage and the commercial core That was where the City had picked up the mixed use land use designatIOn, which better defined the use than Waterford The Mayor stated the CIty had done It different ways City Manager Ambrose stated there was another difference, also The County requested the City transfer density from one part of ItS property, residentIal density, to another So It was different The result was a mixed use project, but the way It happened was different than the General Plan, and the way residentIal was allowed on campus/office Mayor Lockhart asked

stated the FAR formula was a good formula to follow The City was gOIng off the FAR, 45 to 60 ThiS site In particular was UnIque due to the fact that half the SIte was not developable because of the
