Questions
- What is FAR?
- Floor area ratio is the building floor area zoning allows divided by the lot area. A 2,000 square foot lot with a FAR of 3 allows about 6,000 square feet of floor area.
- What are unused air rights?
- The difference between the floor area zoning allows on a lot and the floor area already built. It is an estimate; bonuses, special districts and landmark rules can change it.
