Illustration Of Application Of Dimensional Requirements On Residential Lots:
Figure 2: Illustration Of Floor Area Ratio Of 1.0:
Elevation: | |||
1/2 lot cover 2 floors | 1/4 lot cover 4 floors | 1/2 lot cover 1 floor and 1/4 lot cover 2 floors | |
Floor area ratio = FAR = | Total floor space Total lot area | ||
A FAR of 1.0 means that the floor space in the building may equal the lot area to be built upon. There are no height restrictions, so where accessory uses require land area assignments, buildings may account for FAR 1.0 by having more than 1 story.
