Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan development. The City has identified 49 51 net acres of properties that could be developed or redeveloped in the next 20 years. Based on the height limit (30 feet) and the desire for commercial services to mix with residential, the City anticipates 70% of Area E to convert to residential uses, the remaining 30% to Commercial. Assuming a FAR ratio of 0.25 to 0.45, there is the potential of 418,000 and 731,000 sq ft of building area. Assuming up to a third of that being used for Commercial purposes, that nets between 125,400 and 219,500 sq ft of commercial space, primarilX in Area E. Total Sq Ft (Total 1/3 of area for Jobs, Assuming SF * FAR) Commercial 1000 sgft per worker FAR 522,720 172,498 172 0.25 FAR 940,896 310,496 310 0.45 Applying the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey findings*, in particular the median square feet per worker, we can extrapolate a conservative estimate of 1000 sq ft per worker, based on likely retail, office or service employment, census region, climate, and number of floors. This yields a range of potential employment of between 172 and 310 workers in Area E alone. * Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey completed by the US Energy Information Administration, updated December, 2016 7.
