Lot Coverage - Code Requirement Met The R -4 District requires that no more than 25% of the lot be covered by structure, The proposed building footprint is 12,783 square feet, while the parcel is 108,900 square feet. This results in 12 percent of the lot being covered by structure, or approximately half ofthe code maximum. 3. Floor Area Ratio - Slightly Exceeds Code Requirement The floor area ratio is obtained by dividing the sum of a buildings floor area by the amount of the lot area. The floor area ratio cannot exceed 0.3 for the R-4 District. The FAR for this project is 0.35, slightly above the maximum permitted. Since this is a PUD, a deviation from the code requirement is permissible without granting a variance. 4. Landscape Lot Area - Code Requirement Met The minimum amount oflandscape area for the R -4 District is 65% of the lot area. The proposal shows 72,931 square feet oflandscape area of the total lot area ofl08,900 square feet or 67%. A detailed landscape plan is also included in the plan set.
