A room situated below the ground floor of a building is commonly referred to as a basement. Basements are often used for storage, laundry, or as additional living space, and can be partially or fully below ground level. They may also house utilities such as heating and Plumbing systems. In some cases, basements can be finished to create functional areas like recreation rooms or home offices.

How is Floor Area Ratio calculated in Chicago's Zoning Ordinance?
Take the lot size and multiply it by the Floor Area Ratio. For example, on a 5,000 square foot lot with a 2.0 FAR you could construct a building with 10,000 square feet of total floor area (the floorspace of each floor above ground added together). Keep in mind that there are other restrictions as well, such as building height and setback issues that could keep you from using the total allowable building area per your FAR.
