The floor area is the area of a building that is enclosed by surrounding exterior walls, excluding a 600 square foot allowance for garages. It is the intent of this definition to include lower levels into the floor area calculation which are not true basements. A true basement has all four walls underground. Therefore, a lower level will be counted into the floor area of a building if it is less than 80% underground or has an outside door (including garage door) visible from public right-of-way. If an entire lower level does not meet the criteria for exclusion from the floor area calculation, no part of the lower level may be excluded. Unenclosed porches, balconies, patios and decks will not be considered floor area. This definition is for planning purposes only and may conflict with other methods of calculating square footage such as the Uniform Building Code.
