391 88-2). The proposed project would require amendmcnt of the maximum FAR for thc project site from 0.4 to 0.72. The proposed project also includes a proposal to amend thc site's designation on the City's zoning code from "M-1 (Light Industrial)" to "SD (Specific Development)". IlL ALTERNATIVES The four alternatives to the proposed project evaluated in the Final EIR include: (1) the no project/no development alternative, (2) existing general plan/lower building intensity (industry) alternative, (3) higher building intensity alternative, and (4) an alternative location. Each of these alternatives is described below. NO PROJECr/NO DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE This alternative would maintain the project site in its current condition and would allow approximately 40 percent of the Lake Canter site to remain vacant. Conditions on the project site would essentially remain as they are today. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN/LOWER BUILDING INTENSITY/INDUSTRIAL ALTERNATIVE Under this alternative, the undeveloped portion of thc project site would be developed with light industrial uses as is currently allowed under the existing general phm. In essence, this alternative would be a lower building intensity than the proposed project. The existing general plan designates the site for "Industrial" uses at a building intensity (floor area ratio) of 0.4. Assuming the project site includes a total of 31 net acres (gross acreage minus public improvements/streets), the total square lbotage of development would total approximately 540,144 square feet. The existing development within the project site totals 400,890 square feet on 18 acres. Therefore, the remaining lot area (approximately 13 net acres) could be developed with an additional 139,254 square feet of land uses allowed under the existing general phm and zoning.
