Central Arques Specific Plan

Central Arques Specific Plan

The proposed Central Arques Specific Plan would replace the existing Arques Campus Specific Plan, which was approved in 1999, and expand the boundaries to include additional parcels to the north, east, and west. The proposed Central Arques Specific Plan would increase the allowed intensity of nonresidential development in the plan area from generally 35% floor area ratio (FAR) to 100% FAR and increase the allowable building height from 75 feet to 100 feet. Allowable uses would include, but are not limited to, industrial, office, and R&D. Residential uses would remain prohibited. Up to 3,491,700 million gross square feet of nonresidential development would be studied, assuming maximum development of all parcels in the plan area to 100% FAR. Of the total gross floor area, 948,552 square feet of existing/approved development would remain and 698,802 square feet of existing development would be demolished, resulting in 1,844,346 net new square feet. Community benefits would be integrated into the plan, such as public infrastructure improvements, additional open space and public amenities, and streetscape improvements that contribute to a livable community environment.
