SCALE (p.32)

Chip

MULTI-FAMILY (p. 52)

E. Small-scale two- or three-story buildings with three to eight units are the ideal size for multi-family development in Purcellville, especially as infill in areas adjacent to existing neighborhoods. Larger format buildings may be appropriate with special considerations as part of planned developments nearer to the highway as long as they do not exceed 3-stories and forty-five (45) feet.

Chip

PROFESSIONAL OFFICE (p. 56)

D. Professional office buildings should be restricted to a maximum height of 45 feet and a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.0.
