A. Maximum height limits 1. The maximum structure height in SM-U zones is shown as the number(s) following the zone designation. For zones that include two numbers, the first number of the height suffix is the height limit for midrise structures and the second number following the dash is the maximum height limit for highrise structures. A highrise structure is any structure that exceeds the height limit for midrise structures, excluding rooftop features. Highrise structures are subject to the highrise floor area limits in subsection 23.48.645.A. 2. A minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet is required for a highrise structure. B. Provisions for rooftop features allowed above the height limit are in subsection 23.48.025.C. For zones with two height limits in the height suffix, the provisions in subsection 23.48.025.C apply to both height limits. (Ord. 125267 , § 26, 2017.)
