    The document defines several terms used for development controls including: - Total lot area, percentage of site occupancy, total open space within the lot, unpaved surface area, impervious surface area, and maximum allowable construction area. It provides formulas for calculating these values and describes allowable maximum building footprint, gross floor area, total gross floor area, allowable maximum volume of the building, floor to lot area ratio, and building height limit. The document also discusses how building bulk is calculated both through allowable maximum building footprint projection and using floor to lot area ratio.

    Development Controls

    TLA - Total Lot Area

    PSO - Percentage of Site Occupancy


    - The part of the lot occupied by the building
    - (A.K.A. building footprint expressed in %)

    TOSL - Total Open Space within the Lot


    - The part of the lot NOT occupied by the building

    Formula
    TLA = PSO + TOSL

    USA - Unpaved Surface Area


    - The portion of the open space that is unpaved

    ISA - Impervious Surface Area


    - The portion of the open space that is paved

    MACA – Maximum Allowable Construction Area


    - The combined area of the building foot print and the paved open space

    Formula
    Since “open space” = TOSL,
    TOSL = USA + ISA

    MACA = PSO + ISA

    – Hence, TLA = MACA + USA

    AMBF - Allowable Maximum Building Footprint


    - Footprint expressed in square meters

    GFA - Gross Floor Area


    - Total enclosed floor area (including balconies)
    - Excludes the following enclosed areas:
    - Parking, services, utilities
    - Vertical penetrations in parking floors if not used for residential or commercial purposes
    - Balconies exceeding 10sqm, uncovered areas, fire escape structures, etc.

    TGFA - Total Gross Floor Area


    - Includes all enclosed floor areas, no exceptions

    AMVB - Allowable Maximum Volume of the Building

    OFB - Outer Faces of the Building

    FLAR - Floor to Lot Area Ratio

    BHL – Building Height Limit


    RROW – Road Right Of Way

    Building Bulk
    - A volume quantity

    Formula
    Building bulk = Footprint x Height

    However, the Code prescribes several different methods for determining this quantity

    Building bulk by AMBF projection


    - Determine the AMBF
    - Determine the BHL (in meters)
    - AMBF x BHL = Building bulk

    Building bulk from FLAR


    - FLAR: Floor to lot area ratio
    - Total floor area / lot area
    - For example, a FLAR designation of 1.50 means that a lot measuring 100sqm may accommodate a
    building whose total floor area is 150sqm.
