A. General Standards.
1. The applicable standards are set forth in accompanying Table 2 by zone. Standards are specified for building height, allowable floor area ratio (FAR), minimum parcel size, minimum lot width, building setbacks, and common open space to be provided on individual building sites.
2. Floor area ratio (FAR) is the ratio of total floor area of a building or buildings on a parcel to the area of the parcel occupied by the building or buildings. For purposes of these calculations the floor area of any enclosed parking is excluded.
3. All front yard setbacks are measured from the adjoining public right-of-way. In the absence of a dedicated public right-of-way, front yard setbacks shall be measured from whichever of the following is closest: (a) the inner face of the adjoining sidewalk; (b) curb of a driveway; (c) other paved surface intended for vehicular movement; or (d) parking area.

Airport control towers, airport hangars, and other airport related buildings, facilities or appurtenances may be erected to a height in excess of fifty-six feet, subject to first securing a use permit in each case. Also, the maximum height for buildings adjacent to the UC MBEST Center shall be fifty feet to coordinate with heights allowed in the MBEST Center.

4New surface parking may be located within ten feet of adjoining street right-of-way. Older surface parking may remain where originally constructed.
