"R" is the percentage of the floor space of the building used for residential activities.

The following gives an example of how a maximum floor space ratio is to be calculated for a building on land, having a site area equal to or greater than 2000 square metres and a street frontage equal to or greater than 20 metres, that is within Zone B3 Commercial Core, 30 per cent of which is to be used for activities other than residential activities and 70 per cent of which is to be used for residential activities:

((6 × 30/100) + (3.5 × 70/100)):1

(1.8 + 2.45):1

4.25:1 is the maximum floor space ratio.

(5) For a building on land within Zone SP1 Special Activities--Hospitals and Medical Research and Development that is to be used for the purposes of hospitals, medical centres or other like uses or a combination of such uses, the maximum floor space ratio is 3:1.
