Standards notes. Section 11-15-3 states only that use permits follow Chapter 70 and that all other development follows Article 7. No lot, height, coverage or setback standards are published for LR in Title 11. Envelope must be obtained from the City
No district in this dataset publishes a floor area ratio: intensity in this code is governed by lot coverage, height and — for residential — density or minimum lot area per dwelling unit. See the metro page for the provenance note on that.

Before you rely on this
base district only; overlay geometry not checked — an Airfield or Form-Based Code designation can flip answers
This is a base-district reading of the ordinance text, transcribed
from the source below. It is not a Zoning Verification Letter, not a determination by
the jurisdiction, not legal advice, and not a substitute for asking the planning
department about a specific parcel. Overlays, recorded plan conditions, rezoning
stipulations and parcel geometry are not checked here, and any one of them can change
the answer on this page.
Verify locally before you spend money. Call the planning counter,
pull the parcel's zoning-map designation and its case history, and confirm the
section cited above still reads the way it reads here.
