Definitions of less common words: Build-to-Zone: The location of the front of the building relative to the parcel's front lot line. Floor Area Ratio (FAR): A way to measure development intensity. The FAR is the total building square footage divided by the site square footage. For example, a building 2 stories tall that covered the entire lot (parcel line to parcel line), a building 4 stories tall that covered only half the lot, and a building 8 stories tall that covered only a quarter of the lot would all have an FAR of 2.0. II Open Space Ratio (OSR): The open space ratio is the amount of open space required, expressed as a percentage of the total area on the parcel. Open spaces include landscaped areas, hardscape plazas and squares, sidewalks and required setbacks. Stepback: Building stepbacks allow higher buildings while minimizing the feeling of taller buildings from the pedestrian sidewalk level. The facade of upper floors is pushed back from the front facade. . These District Design Guidelines apply to the three districts that are generally further than 1/ 4-mile from the planned rail transit station.
