In the districts indicated, the provisions of this Section shall apply to any #zoning lot# subject to the provisions of this Chapter.

The maximum #floor area ratio# permitted for a #commercial# or #community facility# #use# shall be as set forth in Article III,
Chapter 3, and the maximum #floor area ratio# permitted for a #residential use# shall be as set forth in Article II, Chapter 3,
except as set forth in Section 35-30 (APPLICABILITY OF FLOOR AREA AND OPEN SPACE REGULATIONS), inclusive.
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#, except where explicitly stated otherwise. Special rules for certain areas are set forth in Section 35-36 (Special Floor
Area Ratio and Related Bulk Provisions for Certain Areas).
Where #floor area# in a #building# is shared by multiple #uses#, the #floor area# for such shared portion shall be attributed to

shared #floor area#.

A non-#residential use# occupying a portion of a #building# that was in existence on December 15, 1961, may be changed to a
#residential use# and the regulations on maximum #floor area ratio# shall not apply to such change of #use#.
