|---|---|---|
| FSR, Base Density | 0.6 | 1.15 |
| FSR with provision of 80% u/g parking | Base Density + 0.1 | NO CHANGE |

| Lot Coverage, maximum | 40% | NO CHANGE |
| Impermeable Surface Coverage, maximum | 60% | NO CHANGE |
| Building Height, maximum | 7.5m | 26.0m |
Note: due to sea level rise mitigation, as well as tree retention strategies, the habitable floor levels for each building are at specific elevations above finished site grades. As a result, building heights are higher than typical heights stated in past zoning bylaws.
