(a)
The same contiguous vacant public area shall
never be includible in computing maximum building area or maximum
number of dwelling units for more than one multiple dwelling, but
where (as for example on intersecting streets) such perpendiculars
shall cross, the areas lying within two or more pairs of perpendiculars
shall be divided proportionally and applied accordingly to each respective
plot;
