Land Use & Zoning
A floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.0 on a 10,000 square foot lot means the building may contain a maximum of:
A2,000 square feet
B10,000 square feet
C20,000 square feet✓ Correct
D5,000 square feet
Explanation
FAR = Total building area / Lot area. Maximum building area = FAR x Lot area = 2.0 x 10,000 sq ft = 20,000 sq ft. FAR is used in zoning to control building density and bulk.
