(a)

0.20 for a building on property with a slope gradient of 15 percent or less;

(b)

0.08 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 15 percent, but not more than 25 percent; or

(c)

0.04 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 25 percent, but not more than 35 percent;

(2)

in a moderate intensity zone:

(a)

0.25 for a building on property with a slope gradient of 15 percent or less;

(b)

0.10 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 15 percent, but not more than 25 percent; or

(c)

0.05 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 25 percent, but not more than 35 percent; or

(3)

in a high intensity zone:

(a)

0.30 for a building on property with a slope gradient of 15 percent or less;

(b)

0.12 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 15 percent, but not more than 25 percent; or

(c)

0.06 for a building on property with a slope gradient of more than 25 percent, but not more than 35 percent.

(B)

If the Land Use Commission grants a development bonus under Section 25-2-1128 ( Development Bonuses ), the floor-to-area ratio of a building on a slope that has a gradient of not more than 15 percent may not exceed:

(1)

0.25 if the property is a low intensity zone;

(2)

0.30 if the property is in a moderate intensity zone; or

(3)

0.35 if the property is in a high intensity zone.

(C)

If a portion of developed property or property covered by an approved site plan is condemned for right-of-way and if the development complies with other applicable requirements, the gross square footage permitted before the condemnation is the gross square footage permitted for the portion of the property remaining after the condemnation.

(D)

To calculate allowable floor area under this section, gross site area includes all land dedicated for right-of-way under Section 25-6-55 ( Dedication Of Right-Of-Way ) that is more than 60 feet from the centerline of a hill country roadway.

(E)

This section does not apply to property in the Southwest Parkway hill country roadway corridor.
