If there residential units are stacked, then the balcony of the unit of above would be considered an overhang. You would need to use the 63 degree angle from the outer edge of the balcony above to determine the depth of the daylight zone for the space that is effected by this in the lower unit.
Its all about access to the skyvault so the balcony for the space would not need to be considered, even if it were a concrete balcony.
