77-23 - Open Space Ratio

LAST AMENDED
2/2/2011


The #open space# required for such #zoning lot# shall be computed separately for each portion of the #zoning lot# under the
applicable regulations of the underlying districts. The total #open space# provided on the #zoning lot# shall not be less than the
sum of such required #open space# so computed.

For portions of the #zoning lot# located in districts that have required #open space ratios#, the required #open space# for each
such portion is computed by multiplying the #lot area# of that portion, by the maximum #floor area ratio# permitted for the
applicable type of #building# or #buildings#, by the minimum #open space ratio# required at that #floor area ratio#, divided by
100.

For portions of the #zoning lot# located in other districts that do not have required #open space ratios# but do have required
#open space#, the required #open space# for each such portion is computed by multiplying the #lot area# of that portion, by the
minimum percentage of #open space# required, divided by 100.

For portions of the #zoning lot# located in districts that do not have a required #open space ratio# or required #open space#, no
#open space# shall be required but any required #yards#, or #publicly accessible open area# provided, for which a #floor area# or
#lot area# bonus is taken, shall be in addition to the amount of #open space# required on the remaining portion of the #zoning
lot#. No open area may be counted twice in fulfilling these requirements.

The required #open space# may be located anywhere on the #zoning lot# subject to all other regulations of this Resolution and
provided that the #open space ratio# for any portion of the #zoning lot# within one district shall not be less than 60 percent of
the required #open space ratio# for that district.
