The floor area ratio shall not exceed the following; provided, however, that covered structure parking shall not count as a part of the floor area, but shall be counted in computing building height:

2 story	0.60
3 story	0.80
4 story	1.00
5 story	1.20

A floor area ratio bonus shall be given for developments abutting the bay or ocean where improved easements are dedicated or granted to Miami-Dade County and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners for features such as landscape, walkways, public parking areas, fishing piers, gazebos, restrooms, art objects and other similar amenities. Said areas are to extend the full length of the property from the street most nearly parallel to the mean high water line, to the bay or ocean. Such areas are to be included in density, open space and setback calculations.

The bonus shall be an additional two (2) square feet of floor area for each one (1) square foot of area devoted for improved public access.
