RESOLUTION NO. 2525
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
ADOPTING A POLICY REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE
GENERAL PLAN FLOOR AREA RATIO (F.A.R.) REQUIREMENTS
TO MOTEL DEVELOPMENTS..
A motel operation, which is primarily comprised of residential
guest rooms, is a unique commercial land use, particularly with
respect to traffic generation. This policy establishes a F.A.R.
regulation which recognize the unique commercial/residential
characteristics of,a motel activity.
The F.A.R. rule for a motel operation is as follows:
A .70 F.A.R. ceiling establishes the maximum building floor
space for all categories of land use activity on a motel
site. No more than .20 F.A.R. of the above mentioned ceiling
can be used for ancillary activities such as shops and
restaurants. Furthermore, the total .70 F.A.R. ceiling will
be lowered .01 F.A.R. for each .01 F.A.R. of ancillary, space.
For example, a motel with no ancillary space located on a
10,000 sq. ft. site can have a..70 F.A.R. or 7,000 sq. ft. of
guest room space.
A motel with .20 F.A.R. ancillary space (2,000 sq. ft.)
located on the same 10,000 sq. ft. site could only have .30
F.A.R. (3,000 sq. ft.) of guest room space. ( The .20 F.A.R..
ancillary space lowers total .70 ceiling to .50. The .20
F.A.R. ancillary space -plus .30 guest rooms space .= .50
F.A.R.)
