#Designated open space# on a #zoning lot# may count as #lot area# for the purposes of the applicable regulations on #yards#,
#floor area ratio#, #open space ratio#, #open space#, #lot coverage#, #lot area# or density, provided that the area of the
#designated open space# claimed as #lot area# does not exceed the area of the #zoning lot# located outside the designated space.
For a #single-family residence#, any portion of a #zoning lot# occupied by #designated open space# shall count as #lot area# for
the purposes of satisfying minimum density requirements only pursuant to this Section.

Where the area of the #designated open space# claimed as #lot area# exceeds the above permitted amount, the provisions of

In the case of a #large-scale residential development#, any #designated open space#, or portion thereof, that qualifies as #lot area#
may be used as common space.
