D) Basements. All building types arc permitted to have basetents if it is technically feasi- ble to build basements on the chosen building site. A walk -out basement is considered a "story" for height regulation, but other kinds of basements are not counted against the height of the building. E) Footprint. The building footprint is the area occupied by the horizontal projection of the building's first floor, excluding the floor area of attached garages and porches or decks built .as allowed encroachments into setbacks. Within the building envelope defined in the Building Type Template, the horizontal projection of upper floors. may not extend more than tenfeet in any direction .over the footprint,except for portions of theupper floor built directly over an attached. garage. F) Mass, Ratio. When used on a Building Type Template, the percentages listed in the Mass table define the maximum area allowed the horizontal projection ofone floor in rela- tion'to thearea of the horizontal projection of the building footprint and attachedgarage, if any. G) Building Placement Diagram. Thediagram on. each Building Type Template provides.. regulatory information on the setbacks, build -to lines (lines on which ;some or all of the building facademust be placed), the "building envelope" in whichthe footprint may be placed, frontage types, permitted encroachments of porches, decks and balconies, place- ment of accessory structures, and other items whichregulate the built environment on a given lot. 9.6.3 Combination of Building Types on. Single Lot. The Building Type templates regulatelot size,but it is not required that each building be on a separately conveyed lot. If multiple building typesare proposed, thedimensional standards should be .appliedas though the lot were being. di- vided. Any total surface coverage or building footprint standards may be combined among all of the buildings included on a particular lot. 9.6.4 New Building Types. New building types may be proposed in the manner of other amend- ments to the Zoning. Codeusing the procedure in Section 17.6. of the Zoning Ordinance. A pro- posal trust contain all information included in existing analogous Building Types, including but not limited to thedimensional standards, usedesignations, and frontage requirements. 9.6.5 Use.Regulation in the Gateway District. The Gateway District's regulatory focus is first upon the form of each building and its relation to the surrounding environment. This section regu- lates the use of space within buildings, except to the extent that any structure :or land use: existed as a legally nonconforming use prior to the adoption of this Section, as a matter secondary to the built form. The use of land in the District is regulated by the Building Type Templates and is directly related to the building form. A) General Terms. and: Permitted Uses. The Building Type Templates assign categories of usesto certain floors of a building. When multiple use categories are listed and separated bya slash (such as "office/retail"), the uses may he combined on the floor at the discretion of the owner or occupant of the building. When .multiple use categories are stated: as alter- natives (such as "office or residential") the floor mayonly beassigned one category of use, at the discretion of the owner or occupant of the building. Building Type Templates may also contain specific exclusions or limitations which modify the application of a use cate- gory to the particular building. The categorical terms are defined as follows: Gene Lake Gateway District Development Code Miry 19, 2009 - Page t 4
