41

Area Modifications 506

Aa = { At + [At If ] + [At Is ]

(Equation 5-1)

where Aa = Allowable building area per story (sq ft) At = Tabular building area per story in per Table 503 (sq ft). If = Area increase factor due to frontage as calculated in accordance with section 506.2 Is = Area increase factor due to sprinkler protection per Section 506.3 Multiple stories = 2 Single Story = 3
42

Building Heights and Areas 506.1.1 Basements need not be included in the total allowable area provided they do not exceed the area permitted for a one-story building.

43

Frontage Increase 506.2

If = [F P 0.25]W 30

(Equation 5-2)

where If = Area increase from frontage. F = Building perimeter fronting a public way or open space having 20 open minimum width (ft). P = Perimeter of entire building (ft). W = Width of public way or open space (ft) in accordance with Section 506.2.1 W at least 20 feet and W divided by 30 shall not exceed 1.0. Where the value of W varies it is based on the weighted average of each portion of exterior wall and open space where the value of W is between 20 and 30 Can use the same yard area for buildings on the same lot 44

Frontage Increase 506.2

Definitions 1602.0
Dead Load: weight of permanent materials used in construction Diaphragm: horizontal or sloped system used to transmit lateral forces to the vertical-resisting elements Essential Facilities: buildings that are intended to remain operational in the event of extreme environmental loading Live Load: loads produced by the use and occupancy of the building or other structure Occupancy Category: category used to determine structural requirements based on occupancy
