LAND USE ELEMENT To effectively achieve the broad range of goals outlined for the City's future LAND USE PLAN growth and development, a variety of plans, programs, and regulations must IMPLEMENTATION be relied upon. This section of the Element discusses these tools, and how they correlate with implementation of the City's land use goals. Development Intensity Standards Table A-1 summarizes the development intensity standard for each of the General Plan designations, and provides land use distribution by acreage for the land use. The intensity standards for the categories permitting residential development are expressed in "units per acre," or floor area ratio and overlay zone in the case of Metro East District Center. The intensity standards for non-residential development are expressed as "floor area ratio" or FAR. The FAR concept is illustrated in Exhibit A-3. The intensity standards in concert with the zoning and development standards regulate the massing, form and building size.
