- Lot coverage: 40% of the lot, or 2,273 sq ft (211 m²), for 3 or 4 units. That is the share of the lot buildings may sit on, seen from above.
- Permeable area: 35% of the lot, or 1,989 sq ft (185 m²), for 3 or 4 units. That share must let rain soak into the ground.

- Within 16 ft 5 in (5 m) of the rear lot line it can be at most 23 ft (7 m) tall, lower than the 3 storeys allowed further into the lot.
- It shares the lot's floor space, lot coverage and parking figures with the building at the front, rather than adding to them.
