FAR CALCULATION PARKING

Occupancy type = F1. Car parking area = 8ft*15ft.

Site area = 339’*215’=72,885 sq ft = 6772 m^2. Bike parking area = 3ft 6inch*7ft.
Road = 83 ft = 25.3 m (Primary road) Driveway = 4.25 m = 14 ft.
20 ft- secondary road.
FAR = NON RESTRICTED. 1 parking for every 1024 sq ft gross area.
MGC = 50%.
SETBACK = Front- 1.5 m = 5 ft. Parking number = total floor area/1024.
Back- 3 m = 10 ft.
Sides - 3 m = 10 ft. Building footprint- [floor-40]
Building height - NO RESTRICTION. Tower = 80*80*36= 2,30,400 sq ft.
Podium = 18000
Parking number= 248400/1024= 243〜250.
Building footprint- [floor-60]
Tower = 100*100*56= 5,60,000 sq ft.
Podium = 18000.
Parking number= 578000/1024= 564.5〜565.
