For the lot below, the FAR is 2.4:
1. What is the maximum floor area developable?
2. How many stories would this permit on this lot?
Answer1. Maximum floor area = 19,200sf (100x80x2.4 = lot area times FAR), 2. # stories permitted by using max floor area within the setback (dashed lines) is 19,200sf = 4.26 stories (19,200/(75x60)=4.2666)

hi and thanks for setting up this site...
ReplyDeleteI believe you subtracted the setbacks incorrectly.
It should have been 60x75 as the footprint of the setbacks instead of 80x55. Therefore the answer should be 4.2666
Correct! and good catch! - it's updated now. Thanks Aeterna.
