(1) In an SSC zone, the ratio of total floor area to total lot area shall not exceed 0.20. For example: a one-story building could cover no more than twenty percent (20%) of a lot. A two-story building (with the same amount of floor space) could not cover more than ten percent (10%) of the lot.

(2) Notwithstanding the standard set forth in Subsection (1) of this Section, a higher FAR may be approved if the required off-street parking and access lanes cover less of the site than the allowed maximum. As might be the case, for example, with underground parking or other parking structures.
