The Planning Commission's guideline is expressed in terms of a maximum percentage of building pad coverage. A determination as to whether a proposed project satisfies the guideline is determined by first calculating the square footage of the proposed structure or structures, dividing that number by the square footage of that portion of the building pad that is outside of required setbacks, and then comparing that percentage figure to the Commission's guideline percentage. Proposed projects that have a percentage of building pad coverage equal to or less than the Commission's guideline percentage satisfy the Commission's guideline. Satisfaction of the Commission's guideline for allowable building pad coverage is only one of several factors for determining project compliance with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and all other required findings for the particular approval sought must also be satisfied."
