Incentives Explained (Bonus FAR)

What is Incentive FAR?
Incentive FAR (bonus FAR) rewards developments that meet public-policy goals — affordable housing, transit access, open space, or adjacency to schools and parks.
Bonuses are added to Base FAR but capped at Maximum FAR (= max of Plot FAR and Area FAR):
TotalFAR = MIN(BaseFAR + IncentiveFAR, MAX(PlotFAR, AreaFAR))
