LA"1) l'SE ELEMENT Tobie A.4 Indicates the development possible under the bullel.out 01 tlm Land Use Plan The build .oul lor residential land uses considered two scenarios Effective build-out for res.dential development IS catculated by adding the 3,232 units possible In the areas designated as Dis~ld Center to the exIs\rog '14 SE8 unrts presentiy found in the City TheorellCul build-out fOI reSidential development considered the development possible if all 01 the areas deslgnDled as reSidential were developed acwrdrng to tria pelmltted Land Use Pion 1I1tensitl8s. Since tile Land Use Elemenl does not contemplate the eiJmlnabon of existing tlollsing In the City, the effective bUild-out frgure represents a more realiStic estimate of future residential development As IIld,catoo In Table A-4, fOllr of tl1e non-residential land lM deslgl1olions have a range in FARlntel1sities. For the non.resldenti81 lancl lIse designations, effective buikJ.out considered the development posslllIe under the "lWE" range of FAR intensities while theorelical build.l)ul considered the lIpper FAR range.

However, the pwpose of the Land Use Plan as its applies to the reSidential areas IS to preserve oml mOlnlaln tile stability of eXisting nei(lhborhoods regardless of the character of development The intent 01 the Pion is not to create any displacement nor decrease existing development denSities. Rather, it is to ensure a sale, healthy, and livable enVlfonmenl for Clt; reSidents. EXISlltlg residential development entitlements are protecled through Ihl5 Ll1rrd Use Eiement, applicable Zoning regulations. and sections 01 tile City code pertallllll(l to le(lalnonconforming uses. The Land Use Element's implementation may result in on increase in tile amount of commercial, office, and industrial development in the City As "ldlcated in Table A-4 up to 54,552,017 square feet of com~rcial and office developmen~ and 4~,89i ,128 square feet of Industnol development me poSSible under the effec\rve capacity parameters of Land Use l"lan Rel'ist1t[fiooptiOI1 11M':!} A.3Q Resolution No 2006-072 Page 8 of 9
