Gross floor area: The sum of areas of the several floors of buildings including areas used for human
occupancy in basements, attics, and penthouses, as measured from the exterior faces
of the walls, not including cellars, unenclosed porches, or attics, or any floor space
in accessory buildings or in the principal building intended and designed for the
parking or loading of motor vehicles in order to meet the requirements of this chapter,
or any such floor space intended and designed for accessory heating and ventilating
equipment. If the principal use of a lot is an open use the area of any building and
of the lot devoted to such use exclusive of parking, loading, and access drives shall
be considered to be the gross floor area for the purpose of calculating parking and
loading requirements.

Height: The vertical distance between the mean level of the established grade and the mean
of the vertical distance between the ceiling joists and ridge of the roof, or the
highest point of the roof in the case of a flat roof. The mean level of the established
grade is the arithmetic average of the lowest and highest curb grades between the
points where the side lot lines extended intersect the line of the nearest curb on
streets where the lot has frontage. If a lot has discontinuous frontage on two streets
so that different established grades might be determined, the higher grade may only
be used within 100 feet of the street line abutting the higher street. The mean level
of the established grade of courts may be taken as the elevation of the lowest floor
facing on the court.
