The Usages table with the area columns

  1. Fill in the Gross floor area (100%) column: the building’s floor area per BR § 455, incl. basement and shelter room area.

  3. Fill in the Balcony etc. column: exterior ramps, stairs, fire escapes, balconies and balcony access; integrated carports, sheds, canopies and outbuildings; and walk-on ceilings. Weighted at 25%. Covered terraces and used roof areas do not count here.
