Currently, <br />there is an additional 602,148 square feet of office proposed (in the pipeline), bringing the total <br />to 3.5 million square feet of offices. Projects will be principally affected by the change in the <br />parking requirements for offices, the requirements of the workforce housing production <br />ordinance, and proposals for floor area ratios and by the change in building setback along <br />gateway corridors. Projects in the review process which have received an entitlement by virtue <br />of an Architectural Permit will not be affected by the provisions set forth in the recommended <br />Urgency Interim Ordinances (see Attachment 2). <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
