Code Section: 790.118
Subject: ND definitions – Story
Effective Date:
Interpretation:
A building in an NC District existed on a lot that sloped upward from the street. The owner wanted to excavate under the building to create another usable level that would be even with the elevation of the sidewalk. This would become the first floor if it would meet the criteria defined in paragraph (a) of this Section. The former first floor would then become the second floor. Therefore, the proposal could not be permitted if it "raised" uses to a story where they would not be permitted unless such uses were moved or removed.
