Developmental Controls

The document defines various acronyms related to site development controls including total lot area (TLA), building height limit (BHL), floor area ratio (FLAR), gross floor area (GFA), total gross floor area (TGFA), percentage of site occupancy (PSO), maximum allowable construction area (MACA), unpaved surface area (USA), impervious surface area (ISA), open space within lot (OSL), total open space within lot (TOSL), allowable maximum building footprint (AMBF), and allowable maximum volume of building (AMVB). It then provides examples of how to calculate some of these values for a given site including its zoning, dimensions, setbacks, and development

ACRONYMS TO REMEMBER

• TLA TOTAL LOT AREA


• BHL BUILDING HEIGHT LIMIT
• FLAR FLOOR TO LOT AREA RATIO
• GFA GROSS FLOOR AREA
• TGFA TOTAL GROSS FLOOR AREA
• PSO PERCENTAGE OF SITE OCCUPANCY
• MACA MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CONSTRUCTION AREA
• USA UNPAVED SURFACE AREA
• ISA IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA
• OSL OPEN SPACE WITHIN LOT
• TOSL TOTAL OPEN SPACE WITHIN LOT
• AMBF ALLOWABLE MAXIMUM BUILDING FOOTPRINT
• AMVB ALLOWABLE MAXIMUM VOLUME OF BUILDING
• RROW ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY
Rule 7 & 8
• define the maximum development potential fo your
building
6 SITE ELEMENTS
• SITE DESCRIPTIONS
1. ZONING - dictates the dev control (PSO, FLAR, BHL, etc) , identify zoning
classification of the specific project
2. TLA - Area of Lot
- Site is important, usually rectangular lot

depth

frontage

3. LOT TYPE - will dictate application of setbacks


4. ROAD /RROW
- center - carriage way
- side - sidealk - min 1.20 m (outside your property line)
- will dictate what will be your setbacks
5. ORIENTATION - NSEW
- FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE VIEWER FROM
THE ROAD
6. SLOPE - represented
- rise/run x 100%
DEVELOPMENTAL
CONTROLS
• 1. AMBF - PSO (max), Setbacks (min)

2. PSO = AMBF/TLA, Table VIII.1
3. TOSL = ISA (max) with devt + USA (MIN), no devt
PSO + TOSL = 100%
ISA (max), USA (MIN)

4. MACA = PSO+ISA

5. FLAR = INITIAL DETERMINANT OF
THE MAX VOLUME OF BLDG
= GFA/TLA
ex. 1 = X
100
DEVELOPMENTAL
CONTROLS
6. BHL = MAX HEIGHT THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED IN
YOUR SITE
* BH = 3 storeys
7. GFA = TLA X FLAR (given in rule 7), summation of
all areas from ground to top
8. TGFA = use table 7.1 ,
= BHL ( # of floors) X % OF LOT
= GFA X multiplier (table VII.G.2)
= GFA X non GFA
EXAMPLES
1. Zoning -= C3
TLA = 2310 SQ M. =
given depth = (42 x
frontage)
2310 = frontage
42
55 m =
frontage
Lot type = regular/inside
lot
1. AMBF = PSO X TLA, refer PSO from table VIII.1
= 80% x 2310
= 1, 848 sq m.
2. AMBF ( accdg. to Setbacks) = determined by Table VIII.3
* look for width of road, (front=6, side=6, rear=6)
= 36x46
= 1,656
3. PSO = AMBF = 1656 SQ M. = 71.68% LESSER THAN PSO
= 80%, THERE IS
TLA 2310 SQ. M.
EXCESS OF 8.32%
4. TOSL = 15% + 13.32% = 28.32%
ISA = refer to table VIII.1, = 15%
USA = 5% + 8.32% = 13.32%
5. MACA = PSO + ISA
= 71.68% + 15% = 86.67%
6. FLAR = check rule VII
= 9 - 34
7. BHL = check rule VII
= 16 FLOORS TO 60 FLOORS / 48M - 180M
8. GFA = TLA X FLAR
= 2310 X 34 = 78, 540 SQ. M.
9. TGFA1 = BASED ON TABLE VII.1, BHL X % OF LOT
TGFA2 = GFA X MULTIPLIER (TABLE VII.G.2) = 78,540 X 1.50 = 117,810 SQ.
M.
TGFA3= GFA+ NON GFA - YARDS ABOVE (incremental setback)
