under roof and 5 stories with 40,000 s.f. under roof.
Multiply & add (2 x 30,000) + (5 x 40,000) = 260,000.
Add 30,000 + 40,000 = 70,000.
Divide 260,000 by 70,000 = 3.71 (round up to 4)
Use 4 as avg. bldg. height for landscaping requirements.
NOTE: Above is minimum landscaped open space for 1 story. Increase 1.5% per story (or fraction) for 2nd to 8th floor; then 2.5%
per floor after 8th. If bldg. height varies use example at right to determine # of stories. Landscape with grass, trees and shrubs.
Water areas may be used to meet up to 20% of requirement. Mall areas with landscaping, &/or water areas &/or permanent art
