A Proposed Project in a Conservation Protection Subdistrict may be subject to the Site Plan component of Large Project Review or Small Project Review, pursuant to Section 80B-2 or 80E-2.

For a Proposed Project in a Planned Development Area, the maximum building height, Floor Area Ratio, and number of dwelling units per acre are as follows:
Maximum Building Height 45
Maximum Floor Area Ratio 0.5
Maximum number of dwelling units per acre:
4 units/acre if the Lot contains less than 15 acres; and

(As amended on March 3, 2000.)
3.
If a Lot assessed as a separate parcel or in separate ownership of record (by plan or deed) as of March 3, 2000 does not meet the minimum Lot Size requirement, the Board of Appeal may authorize the construction of: (a) one dwelling unit, if the Lot meets at least one-third of the minimum Lot Size requirement, or (b) two units, if the Lot meets at least two-thirds of the minimum Lot Size requirement.
(As amended on March 3, 2000.)
4.
Except where the Site Plan Component of Small Project Review or Large Project Review determines that a smaller yard dimension would more effectively protect the significant natural features on the Lot without substantially increasing the Proposed Project's impacts outside the Lot.

For the purpose of determining Building Height, the floor area of a dormer on a Dwelling shall not be included in the floor area calculation for a half story; provided that such dormer is not wider than eight (8) feet and the ridge line of the dormer does not exceed the ridge line of an existing Structure of which it is a part, or thirty-five (35) feet, whichever is less; and provided further that only the floor area of two such dormers shall not be included in the floor area calculation for a half story. However, the floor area of such dormers shall be included in Gross Floor Area of the Dwelling.
3.
The minimum usable open space requirement is applicable only to Residential Uses and Dormitory and Fraternity Uses.
For any lot that exceeds the minimum lot area specified in this Table E, the required number of square feet of usable open space per dwelling unit shall be calculated by adding: (a) the minimum usable open space per dwelling unit specified in this Table E, and (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot area in excess of the required minimum lot area specified in this Table E for the lot.
All ground level open space used to satisfy the minimum usable open space requirements specified in this Table E must have an unobstructed length of not less than ten (10) feet and an unobstructed width of not less than ten (10) feet, except that, for yards used to meet the open space requirements of this Table E, shorter or narrower dimensions are allowed where specifically permitted by the provisions of Section 59-38 (Application of Dimensional Requirements).
In the MFR Subdistricts, up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the usable open space requirement may be met by unenclosed porches (with or without roofs) or by suitably designed and accessible space on balconies of Main Buildings or on the roofs of wings of Main Buildings or on the roofs of Accessory Buildings, provided that any such space on a porch, balcony, or roof has an unobstructed length of not less than six (6) feet and an unobstructed width of not less than six (6) feet.

For maximum Building Heights and Floor Area Ratio for Planned Development Areas, see Section 59-30.
2.
In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, all or a portion of required usable open space may be met by suitably designed and accessible space on balconies of main buildings or on roofs of wings of main buildings, or on the roofs of accessory buildings.
3.
In a required front yard, no plaza, terrace or public access to a basement (other than required by the State Building Code) shall be below the grade of the nearest sidewalk unless, after public notice and hearing and subject to the provisions of Article 6, the Board of Appeal grants a permit therefor.
In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, every front yard required by this code shall be at grade level along every lot line on which such yard abuts.
4.
See Section 59-34.1, Street Wall Continuity.
5.
In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, no side yard is required except in the case of a lot with a side lot line abutting a Residential Subdistrict, which shall have side yards as if it were in such abutting district. Every side yard so required that does not abut a street line shall, along every lot line on which such yard abuts, be at a level no higher than that of the lowest window sill of the lowest room designed for human occupancy or so occupied, and relying upon natural light or natural ventilation from windows opening on such yard.
6.
In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, every rear yard required by this code that does not abut a street line shall, along every lot line on which such yard abuts, be at a level no higher than the level of the lowest window sill in the lowest room designed for human occupancy or so occupied, and relying upon natural light or natural ventilation from windows opening on such yard.

For the purpose of determining Building Height, the floor area of a dormer on a Dwelling shall not be included in the floor area calculation for a half story; provided that such dormer is not wider than eight (8) feet and the ridge line of the dormer does not exceed the ridge line of an existing Structure of which it is a part, or thirty-five (35) feet, whichever is less; and provided further that only the floor area of two such dormers shall not be included in the floor area calculation for a half story. However, the floor area of such dormers shall be included in Gross Floor Area of the Dwelling.
3.
The minimum usable open space requirement is applicable only to Residential Uses and Dormitory and Fraternity Uses.
For any lot that exceeds the minimum lot area specified in this Table E, the required number of square feet of usable open space per dwelling unit shall be calculated by adding: (a) the minimum usable open space per dwelling unit specified in this Table E, and (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot area in excess of the required minimum lot area specified in this Table E for the lot.
All ground level open space used to satisfy the minimum usable open space requirements specified in this Table E must have an unobstructed length of not less than ten (10) feet and an unobstructed width of not less than ten (10) feet, except that, for yards used to meet the open space requirements of this Table E, shorter or narrower dimensions are allowed where specifically permitted by the provisions of Section 59-38 (Application of Dimensional Requirements).
In the MFR Subdistricts, up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the usable open space requirement may be met by unenclosed porches (with or without roofs) or by suitably designed and accessible space on balconies of Main Buildings or on the roofs of wings of Main Buildings or on the roofs of Accessory Buildings, provided that any such space on a porch, balcony, or roof has an unobstructed length of not less than six (6) feet and an unobstructed width of not less than six (6) feet.

In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, no side yard is required except in the case of a lot with a side lot line abutting a Residential Subdistrict, which shall have side yards as if it were in such abutting district. Every side yard so required that does not abut a street line shall, along every lot line on which such yard abuts, be at a level no higher than that of the lowest window sill of the lowest room designed for human occupancy or so occupied, and relying upon natural light or natural ventilation from windows opening on such yard.
6.
In a Neighborhood Business Subdistrict, every rear yard required by this code that does not abut a street line shall, along every lot line on which such yard abuts, be at a level no higher than the level of the lowest window sill in the lowest room designed for human occupancy or so occupied, and relying upon natural light or natural ventilation from windows opening on such yard.
