The Taipei District Court has ruled that the 20% floor area ratio (FAR) bonus granted to the Core Pacific City redevelopment project was illegal. During a report to the Taipei City Council, Mayor Chiang Wan-an stated that the Department of Urban Development's investigation team has recommended the revocation of the bonus. Once administrative procedures, including the finalization of meeting minutes, are completed, the city will formally notify Ding Yue Development of the cancellation. The court found that the bonus lacked legal basis and violated higher-level regulations. Former Mayor Ko Wen-je has already received a first-instance conviction for bribery and breach of trust related to this case.
