The first floor garages may function for parking, but may not be converted to habitable space. The first floor garages have been netted out of the gross FAR. The maximum .42 FAR allows the applicant to develop a total of 10,903 square feet on Lot 4. Therefore the proposed Lot 4 net FAR of 11,700 square feet on the final PUD does not comply with the .42 net FAR established on the preliminary PUD.
