An architect is working on the preliminary design of a new mixed-use building in a downtown area, where the developer wants to maximize the gross area of the project.  After studying the traffic patterns on the site, the architect notes that Broadway receives 2.5 times more foot traffic than Alley #5.  Utility service enters the site from Broadway.  The architect plans to use 10’ floor to floor heights for each floor other than the first, which will be 12’ tall.  The following zoning information is known:
  • Rear setbacks are required beginning at a height 15’ above grade.
  • Front setbacks are required beginning at a height 65’ above grade.

An architect is working on an addition adjacent to a 4-story museum.  The existing museum has a 15’-0” floor-to-floor height at the first story, and then 11’-0” at each story thereafter.  The proposed addition will match the first story’s floor to floor height and will have 9’-9” floor-to-floor heights thereafter.  The roof decks of each wing will be connected to create a rooftop restaurant with outdoor seating.  The two roof levels will be connected with an accessible ramp and an outdoor staircase, which will have 7” risers (maximum) and 11” treads.
