R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R10 R11 R12
In the districts indicated, the maximum lot coverage for residential buildings, community facility buildings or the portions of buildings containing residential or community facility uses shall be the applicable residential lot coverage set forth in Section 23-36 (Maximum Lot Coverage), inclusive. For the purpose of applying such regulations, the regulations for interior lots or through lots shall apply, and additional limitations for large sites need not apply.
Any portion of a building at any height up to but not exceeding 23 feet above the base plane may be excluded in determining the percent of lot coverage set forth in this Section.
Additionally, for buildings in R6 through R12 Districts that exceed the maximum base height listed in Section 62-343 (Height and setback regulations in other medium- and high-density districts), the minimum lot coverage shall be 30 percent of the lot area at a height of 20 feet. For the purposes of determining this requirement, the lot area of waterfront zoning lots shall be deemed to be the area of the zoning lot landward of the shoreline. In the event the site plan involves construction on only a portion of the zoning lot, sufficient calculations shall be provided to show that such partial construction does not preclude compliance with the minimum lot coverage requirements of this Section at the time the site is fully developed.
