Would entry stairs to the building be considered part of the building footprint, or part of the site hardscape? Thanks.

Erica, this seems like a bit of a gray area and could depend a bit on site specifics and design. However, I would say as a general rule that stairs are part of the site hardscape. I am picturing, for example, concrete stairs leading up to the entry from a concrete sidewalk—seems like a site feature.
