23.60A.958

The following measurement techniques shall be used to calculate the percentage of a development site occupied by a use for developments. A. For purpose of this Section 23.60A.958 , the development site includes all the area within the Shoreline District including vacant lands, submerged and dry lands, and lands currently and proposed to be leased from DNR for the development, but excluding any area required for public access. Submerged lands shall not be counted in calculating lot area for purposes of minimum lot area requirements of single-family zones or density standards of other zones. B. All lot area occupied by a specific use shall include: 1. The footprint, including balconies, decks and eaves, of any structure occupied by the use or its accessory uses; provided, that if a structure is occupied by more than one use, the amount of the structure's footprint allocated to any one use shall be calculated proportionately to its share of the structure's total floor area as follows: the square footage of the structure's footprint allocated to any one use (A) is equal to the total square footage of the structure's footprint (B) multiplied by the total square footage of the use and its accessory uses located within the structure (C) divided by the total square footage within the structure (D), expressed as the following equation: A = B × C/D 2. The area outside of any structure, occupied by the use or its accessory uses, including the following: a. Areas devoted to parking or access shall be as counted water-dependent and water-related uses to the extent that the parking or access is required by code for the water-dependent or water-related use on the development site; b. The area of any moorage occupied by the use including piers, floats, dockage areas, channels, and turning basins; c. The area occupied by any storage accessory to the use. C. The percent of the development site occupied by a specific use shall be calculated by dividing the use area calculated in subsection 23.60A.958.B by the development site area given in subsection 23.60A.958.A multiplied by 100. D. To calculate the percent of dry land or percent of submerged lands occupied by a specific use or category of use, the dry lands and submerged lands shall each be calculated separately. E. To calculate the percent of area occupied by a category of use such as nonwater-oriented commercial, the area occupied by all such uses as calculated above shall be summed and divided by the development site area.
