Japanese term or phrase: 割り戻して
建物1階面積を70%（60%+角地10%）で割り戻して所有地部分の面積を算出した。

The dictionary says "rebate," but how could that be possible in this context?

English translation:divide (the area xxx) by 70% (0.7)
Explanation:
「割り戻して」 means a different thing here.
It's 「割る」　(divide) +　「戻す」　（put back into previous state).

I guess there is an expression of 建坪 or 建ぺい率 70% in the document. That means the building is occupying 70% of the land. Thus, if you know the area of the first floor of the building, you can calculate the area of the land, by dividing the area of the first floor by 0.7.

Yes, in deed it does state that the building covers 70% of the land on one plot and extends onto another. Thank you for the explanation.

Explanation:
This use of 割り戻し does not sound right (unless it's a real estate jargon unbeknownst to me). From the context "recalculate" is very likely.
