3412.6.1.1 Height Formula
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The following formulas shall be used in computing the building height value.
| (Equation 34-1) |
| Height value, feet = (AS EBS) × CF | (Equation 34-2) |
where:
| AH | = | Allowable height in feet from Table 503. |
| EBH | = | Existing building height in feet. |
| AS | = | Allowable height in stories from Table 503. |
| EBS | = | Existing building height in stories. |
| CF | = | 1 if (AH) — (EBH) is positive. |
| CF | = | Construction-type factor shown in Table 3412.6.6(2) if (AH) — (EBH) is negative. |
Note: Where mixed occupancies are separated and individually evaluated as indicated in Section 3412.6, the values AH, AS, EBH and EBS shall be based on the height of the occupancy being evaluated.
