D) Basements. All building types are permitted to have basements if it is technically feasi- ble to build basements on the chosen building site. A walk -out basement isconsidered 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 theareaoccupied 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 Tctnplatethe horizontal projectionof upper floors... may not extend more than ten feet in any direction over the footprint, except for portions of the upper floor built directly over an attached garage. F) Mass, .Ratio. Whenused on a Building Type Template, the percentages listed in the Mass table define the maximum arca allowed the horizontal projection of one floor in rela- tion to the area of the horizontal projectionof the building footprint and attached garage, if any. G) Building Placement Diagram... The diagram on each Building Type Template provides regulatory information on the setbacks,build-to lines (lines on which some or all of the building facade must be placed), .tlie "building envelope" . in which the footprint may be placed, frontage types, permitted encroachments of porches, decks and balconies, place- ment of accessory structures, and other items which regulate the built environri�ent an a given lot. 9.6.3 Combination of Building Types on Single. Lot. The Building Type templates regulate lot size, but it is not required that each building be on. a separately .conveyed. lot. If multiple building types are proposed, the dimensional standards should be applied as though the lot were being di- vided. Any total surfacecoverage 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 beproposed in the manner of other amend- ments to the Zoning Code: usingthe procedure in Section 17.6 of the Zoning Ordinance. A pro- posal must contain all information included in existing analogous Building Types, including.. but not limited to the dimensional standards, use designations, and frontage requirements. 9.6:.5 Use :Regulation in the Gateway District. The Gateway District's: regulatory focus is first upon the form of eachbuilding and.its relation tothe surrounding environment. This ,section re_guL. lates the use of space withinbuildings, 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 tothe built forma The use of land in the District is regulated by the Building Type Templatesand is directly. related to the building forth. A) General Terries and Permitted Uses. The Building Type Templates assign categories of uses to certain floors of a building. When multiple usecategories are listed and.separated by a slash (such as "office/retail"),: the uses may be 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 floormay only be assigned one category ofuse,. at the discretion of the owner or occupant of the building.. Building Type Templates may alsocontain specificexclusions or litnit.ttionswhichmodify the application of a use.cate- gory to the particular building. The categorical terms are definedas follows: Genf Lake Ga(emay Dirttm i Development Code 1bluy /9,.2009 - :Page 14
