Zoning Envelope

Max Height: No limit
Lot Coverage: 75%
FAR: 3.5x; 350%
Max GFA: 1,250 sf
Max Units: 1; FAR-based

Building Code (IBC Ch. 5)

Construction Type: Type II-B; noncombustible · ~$122/sf base
Stories to Realize FAR: ~5; No height cap — FAR ÷ coverage
Net Realizable Units: 1; 80% net-to-gross vs. 1 gross

Realizing this zoning envelope needs about 5 stories — above the 4-story wood-frame limit — so it requires Type II-B (noncombustible or mass timber). Zoning permits the density; the building code raises the hard cost to reach it.

Model a specific massing to see the construction type it requires (zoning capacity above is unchanged):
