Unresolved Issues

GO zoning All the other office buildings in the area are Limited Office (LO) All of proposed development meets the criteria for LO zoning

except the number of stories of the parking garage. LO limits the buildings to 3 stories and the garage is 3.5 stories above ground and 1.5 below ground.

Perhaps better to be LO with a variance on garage GO allows buildings 60 feet high, so in the future Building 2

could be increased to that height. GO allows permitted and conditional uses broader than LO Have to limit uses through a voluntary restricted covenant*

* May have to limit uses if LO as well.
