As an example, consider a development located on a lot split by a zone boundary. Zone A permits 25% improvement coverage and zone B permits 20% coverage. The development proposes 3,000 square feet of coverage in zone A and 2,000 square feet of coverage in zone B, for a total of 5,000 square feet of coverage. The permitted coverage for the above-grade structures would be 23% of the total lot area, calculated as follows: | |
• | 3,000 square feet coverage proposed in zone A ÷ 5,000 square feet total proposed coverage = 60% of total coverage proposed in zone A. 2,000 square feet coverage proposed in zone B ÷ 5,000 square feet total proposed coverage = 40% of total coverage proposed in zone B. |
• | 60% of total coverage proposed in zone A x 25% coverage permitted in zone A = 15%. 40% of total coverage proposed in zone B x 20% coverage permitted in zone B = 8%. |
• | 15% + 8% = 23% of total lot area permitted to be covered by improvements. |
One can see by the above example that if 100% of the coverage were proposed on that portion of the lot in Zone A, then 25% coverage would be permitted, whereas if 100% of the coverage were proposed on that portion of the lot in Zone B, then 20% coverage would be permitted. Any other situation would result in a permitted coverage somewhere between 20% and 25%. | |
