10-3-1827: DENSITY:
Retail department stores located in the C-R-PD zone shall have a floor area ratio no greater than five to one (5:1). For the purposes of this section, "floor area ratio" shall mean the ratio of floor area to that portion of the site area located in a C-R-PD zone.
However, within the C-R-PD zone, the planning commission shall not permit more than one hundred thirty four thousand six hundred (134,600) square feet of retail department store floor area to be developed in excess of the density limits of the underlying commercial zone. Furthermore, the planning commission shall not permit any retail department store floor area to be developed in excess of the density limits of the underlying commercial zone if, after development of the retail department store, floor area devoted to other purposes would exceed a floor area ratio of two to one (2:1). For the purposes of this section, a retail department store loading area in excess of six thousand (6,000) square feet shall be considered retail department store floor area.
In order to implement the density restrictions contained in this section, the planning commission shall not approve any retail department store development if such development, combined with existing development and unexpired planned development approvals, shall cause the retail department store floor area of the C-R-PD zone to exceed the density limits of the underlying commercial zone by more than one hundred thirty four thousand six hundred (134,600) square feet.
In addition, if the permitted retail department store floor area of existing development and unexpired planned development approvals in the C-R-PD zone exceeds the density limits of the underlying commercial zone by more than one hundred thirty four thousand six hundred (134,600) square feet, then no further applications for retail department store planned development approval shall be accepted.
