Presumably the staff response was something akin to, "the current predicted input/output is within the capacity of our existing infrastructure." Increased height would mean more required capacity.
I've also never understood how floor area ratios work.
divide the floor area (square footage) of the building by the area of the site. If your site is 5,000sf and you have a 10,000 sft building, you have a 2.0 FAR. FAR is actually more typical south of the border, most canadian cities use FSI, or Floor Space Index. They mean the same thing.
Infrastructure needs of an additional 5 floors would be marginal. I would not expect it to cause issues.
