Code defines Maximum Open Space

NC-2009 SSc5.2:Site Development—Maximize Open Space
posted by  Daniel Hartsig  on 

Hello Everyone- I'm currently working on a project where the local code defines no minimum amount of open space. Instead, they define a maximum amount of open space (at 19% of site area).
