testing the rules...

the first two i put to the test...30% of ground level receives sunlight (2hrs) and slenderness ratio=1:13



This drawing shows the sun angle on March 21st (48.8 degrees) reaching 30% of the parcel footprint. The total area of the footprint is 2,800,000sf, therefore the 30% is approximately 840,000sf. That 'new' footprint is then extended up at 48.8 degrees as a pocket within the extruded parcel.

The thinnest dimension of the parcel plan was 1690.5ft. Multiplied 13 times (1:13 slenderness ratio) it became approximately 21,000ft...the new height!

HAHA i think 1:13 might be a little too tall. Granted, this is the entire parcel extruded for the highest possible density.
