Size and bulk is determined by the following factors in each zoning district:
• Setbacks
• Height limits
• Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) – gross floor area of a building divided by the lot size
• Minimum lot area (M.L.A.) - in the R1-R4 Districts
• Maximum lot coverage
• Maximum impervious surface coverage
• Parking
Height can be increased by a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) subject to the following:
• Access to light and air of surrounding properties
• Shadowing of residential properties, significant public spaces, or existing solar energy systems
• The scale and character of surrounding uses
• Preservation of views of landmark buildings, significant open spaces or water bodies.
(granting of the CUP is also subject to meeting required setbacks, FAR, MLA, and lot and impervious surface coverage limits)
