[Amended 10-20-2020 by L.L. No. 10-2020]
A. The
maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for a one-family residence in the R-20,
R-10 and R-7.5 districts and for a one- or two-family residence in
the 2R district shall be calculated based upon the lot area as set
forth in the table attached as Appendix B.
B. Each
lot size range in the table represents one to 99 square feet. For
lots that fall within this range, round either up or down depending
upon its size above or below the midpoint to determine the maximum
permitted FAR. For example, a lot of 6,449 square feet would be rounded
down to 6,400, while a lot of 6,450 square feet would be rounded up
to 6,500.
