§ 19.200.010 — Purpose

19.200.010 - Purpose.

The Building Stories Overlay (S) Zone is established to preserve and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community, and to promote quality design consistent with General Plan policies by allowing for modifications to the building height standards established in a base zone. A building height standard may be reduced for the purpose of achieving design or public safety goals, or for avoiding possible detrimental impacts of building height or mass on neighboring properties or public rights-of-way. Building height standards may also be increased to provide an incentive for mixed-use projects or to facilitate a more efficient and desirable use of land. The Building Height Overlay Zone may be applied to any zone, except the RA-5 and RC Zones, and may be applied in conjunction with other overlay zones.
