5-1.0.16 table 3-A "building permit fees" sets a rate for "carport, garages, porches, patios or lanais" which is lower than the rate for "dwellings".
5-2.3.1 defines "Gross Floor Area" as sum of the floor areas of spaces within the building including basements, mezzanine and intermediate-floored tiers, and penthouses of headroom height 7.5 feet or greater.
The "change of occupancy" issues are well-defined for commercial property, but for residential there isn't even a clear definition of "lanai".
