Title 17C Land Use Standards
Chapter 17C.130 Industrial Zones
Floor area ratios (FARs) regulate the amount of use (the intensity) allowed on a site. FARs provide a means to match the potential amount of uses with the desired character of the area and the provision of public services. FARs also work with the height, and setback standards to control the overall bulk of development. There is no maximum FAR in the industrial zones.
