E. The Library Tower and Grand Place Tower Variations
MTP’s obligations under the OPA were conditioned on
issuance by CRA to MTP of variations under section 437 of the
CBD Plan permitting the Library Tower and Grand Place Tower
buildings to be built. Section 437 of the CBD Plan provides
that no variation issued by CRA is effective until any necessary
zoning changes have been obtained. The Library Tower and Grand
Place Tower variations issued by CRA to MTP were not effective
until the MTP Designated Building Site Application had been
approved by the City.
On June 17, 1985, CRA adopted resolution No. 3548 to permit
MTP to exceed FAR limitations in developing the Library Tower
building, the Garage Plaza underground parking garage, and the
garden plaza. In conjunction with Ordinance No. 159802 and the
MTP Designated Building Site, this variation increased allowable
floor area by 413,900 square feet, permitted MTP to develop the
Library Tower building with floor area up to 1.3 million square
