The building envelope requirements for land development can vary depending on the local zoning and building regulations. However, some common requirements may include:
1. Setback requirements: The distance a building must be set back from the property lines or roads.
2. Height restrictions: The maximum height a building can be allowed.
3. Floor area ratio (FAR): The amount of building area allowed on a given lot size.
4. Lot coverage: The percentage of the lot that can be covered by a building or structure.
5. Design guidelines: The standards for the appearance, materials, and aesthetics of the building.
6. Energy-efficiency requirements: Standards for insulation, ventilation, and other features that reduce energy consumption.
7. Fire safety requirements: Standards for fire-resistant construction, fire suppression systems, and fire access to the building.
8. Accessibility requirements: Standards for accessible entrances, parking spaces, and facilities for people with disabilities.
Overall, building envelope requirements are meant to ensure that the buildings on a property are safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing while also protecting the surrounding community and environment.
