Thank you.

Yes.

It doesn’t work, since the states still haven’t managed to agree on a definition of a full storey, remove their previous one from the state building codes, and introduce the joint one into the land-use ordinance.
Here is a general approach for SH:

Maximum knee wall height = minimum roof pitch
Assumed roof construction 0.40m and 10m building width:
k = 2.30m - 0.40m - 0.125 * 10m * TAN 15° = 1.57m
Dormers, cross gables and loggias make any further generalization impossible.

Attic, upper floor, non-full storey
In your question, the "1/2" can simply be omitted.
