#Floor area# regulations are set forth in Section 23-21 for R1 through R5 Districts and Section 23-22 for R6 through R12
Districts. Special allowances for multi-family #buildings# are set forth in Section 23-23. Special rules governing certain areas are
set forth in Section 23-24.

For #zoning lots# with #buildings# containing multiple #uses# or multiple #buildings# with different #uses#, inclusive of
#residences# subject to different #floor area ratios#, the maximum #floor area ratio# for each #use# shall be as set forth in the
applicable provisions of this Section, inclusive, or as provided in the respective #floor area# provisions of another Chapter of this
Resolution. The total of all such #floor area ratios# shall not exceed the greatest #floor area ratio# permitted for any such #use#
on the #zoning lot#.

Where #floor area# in a #building# is shared by multiple #uses#, the #floor area# for such shared portion shall be attributed to
each #use# proportionately, based on the percentage each #use# occupies of the total #floor area# of the #zoning lot#, less any
shared #floor area#.

Where a #floor area# bonus established through another Section of this Resolution applies to a #zoning lot# containing
#residences, the #residential# #floor area ratio# used to calculate the maximum permitted #floor area# bonus shall be the
maximum #floor area ratio# permitted for such #zoning lot# pursuant to this Section, depending on whether the #zoning lot# is
a #qualifying residential site# or the #zoning lot# contains #qualifying affordable housing# or #qualifying senior housing#.
