If I recall the work session correctly, I think it had to do with FAR, but I’m not a builder so I’m not sure of the nuance of that acronym[/quote]

Sounds like what an earlier PP said:
  
Floor-Area Ratio
FAR stands for Floor-Area Ratio, which is a measure used in urban planning to determine the maximum allowable building size relative to the size of the land on which it is built. It is calculated by dividing the total floor area of a building by the total area of the plot of land. For example, if a building has a total floor area of 20,000 square feet and a plot measures 5,000 square feet, the FAR would be 4.0, indicating that the building can occupy four times the size of the plot. Understanding FAR is crucial for developers and architects as it influences zoning laws, building codes, and property valuations.

Also, sounds like if they open a regular high school at KAA, that they could scale this back--maybe to 2800?  But, I am no builder at all.[/quote]
