Floor to area ratio defines the ratio of a house floor, whether commercial or industrial to the parcel of land it is built on. The standard way of expressing the measurement will be percentage or decimal form. The measurement of FAR has to adhere to some architectural requirements.
FAR is used for regulation purposes by the authorities in times of erecting bildings.. For instance, in down town buildings, FAR has to be high (1.0 or over) in commercial or industrial areas. In manufacturing or commercial buildings, the FAR has to be as high as in the down town buildings. In residential areas, there will be lower FAR if the area is also governed by this ratio. Residential space (like suburbs) is likely to desire protecting some manner of green space and neighborhood character .This regulation is intended to promote and preserve residential development associated with large-to single family residences. Such large lots are required to maintain a low density of dwelling units.
