As currently defined, gross floor area excludes unfinished attics (regardless of ceiling height) and is not clear with respect to the threshold of what constitutes an enclosed deck or patio. As a result, the bulk and scale of new residential developments appear larger than what the applicable floor area limits intend. Revisions to the definition are necessary to avoid “box-like” appearance and to appropriately regulate large attics and partially enclosed covered patios and decks. The amendment also includes a revision to Table 21.18-4 clarifying that the common and private open space requirements of the Multi-Unit Residential Coastal Zoning Districts only apply to multi-unit residential developments of 3 units or more. (PA2019-070).
