Harbinger Motors/12821 Knott Street Project

The proposed project includes the construction of a 10,338 sf mezzanine for additional office space within the existing approximately 173,000 sf (gross floor area) warehouse on the project site. All proposed improvements would be limited to the interior of the existing building and no exterior construction or revisions to the existing parking lot are proposed. All construction staging would be contained within the existing building, and all construction equipment would access the site from Knott Street on the east side of the project site. The project site’s zoning (PUD 104-70 [REV. 2019]) allows for the current use, and the current use would not change with implementation of the project. The maximum allowed FAR under the General Plan Land Use Designation IC is 0.50. The additional mezzanine office space would increase the FAR to 0.53. For the project site to remain in compliance with the General Plan Land Use designation and associated maximum FAR, an Amendment to the General Plan is proposed to establish two subareas within the existing IC land use designation. Parcels included in Subarea A (42 total) would retain the existing maximum FAR of 0.5. The maximum FAR that applies to parcels in Subarea B (5 total) would increase to 0.55.
