Building Orientation

All Commercial building's primary entrance shall be located on the façade facing the public right-of-way or civic space. Primary entrance is the principal pedestrian access to a building, even if customers or residents may more frequently use a secondary entrance associated with a garage, parking area, driveway, or other vehicle use area. The entrance shall have the architectural detailing that sets it apart from other entrances and allows it to be recognized as the building's primary access point.

COMMERCIAL FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR)/INTENSITY STANDARDS

Calculating intensity/FAR

FAR shall be calculated by dividing the proposed non-residential square footage by the developable non-residential acreage. The developable acreage consists of the non-residential acreage, less road right-of-way (ROW) for Boulevards, Avenues and Multi-Modal Corridors (framework ROW), land dedicated to public use and activities including parks and recreation; stormwater systems designated by a water management district as "works of the district"; natural water bodies; wetlands except as noted in the Osceola County Comprehensive Plan; and any residential use acreage that does not include vertically mixed residential use. The residential portion of mixed use buildings shall meet all density requirements, and be counted toward meeting minimum FAR requirements. Where there is a maximum FAR, the residential portion of a mixed use building shall not be calculated.
