3.1.2
All maximum dimensions shall mean equal to or less than.
Page 12 of 122
3.1.3
All minimum dimensions shall mean equal to or greater than.

3.2.1.2
Square metre (m2);
3.2.1.3
Cubic metre (m3);
3.2.1.4
Hectare (ha);
3.2.1.5
Percent (%).
3.3
Calculation of Density
3.3.1
In zones where this Bylaw prescribes a maximum number of residential units per
hectare, the density shall be determined by multiplying the prescribed value by the
area of the lot as follows:
[Maximum Density Prescribed (units/hectare)] * [Lot Size (in hectares)]
= Maximum Density
3.4
Floor Area
3.4.1
Where a Zone or regulation establishes a maximum Floor Area for a Building, the
Floor Area of the Building shall not be greater than the established maximum.
3.4.2
Floor Area is measured from the interior face of each exterior wall.
3.4.3
The following are excluded from the calculation of Floor Area:
3.4.3.1
Basements;

Other similar common areas necessary to service the Building or its inhabitants.
Page 13 of 122
3.5
Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
3.5.1
Where a Zone or regulation establishes a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR), the Floor
Area of the Buildings or Structures shall not exceed the maximum FAR.
3.5.2
The calculation of FAR is a measure of density and is determined as follows:

3.6
Lot Coverage
3.6.1
Where a Zone establishes maximum Lot coverage, the Building footprints of all
Buildings and Structures shall not exceed the maximum specified in any Zone or
regulation.
3.6.2
Lot coverage shall be calculated as follows:
(Total Building Footprint of all Buildings or Structures) / (Total lot area)
= Lot coverage
3.7
Density Calculation with Land Dedication
3.7.1

agency for environment, park, road, or other public purpose, the density calculation
shall be based on the area of the Lot before dedication.
Page 14 of 122
3.8
Maximum Number, Size, and Density
3.8.1
Where a Zone or regulation establishes a maximum number of Buildings, Structures,
or units, there shall be no greater number of Buildings, Structures, or units than the
specified maximum.
3.8.2

the minimum area of a lot that may be created by subdivision in that Zone.
3.9.2
Where a Zone or regulation establishes minimum Parcel dimensions for lot width
and lot depth, the minimum dimensions are the minimum dimensions of a lot that
may be created by subdivision in that Zone.
