23.49.212

A. In an IDM 85/85-170 zone, upper-level development standards include upper-level setbacks and facade modulation. 1. Upper-level setbacks south of S. Weller Street. For structures south of S. Weller Street exceeding a height of 85 feet, an upper-level setback with an average depth of at least 15 feet from abutting street lot lines along the entire street frontage of the structure is required above a height of 45 feet. The minimum depth permitted for any portion of a setback required under this subsection 23.49.212.A.1 is 10 feet. The maximum depth of a setback that can be used for calculating the average setback is 30 feet. 2. Upper-level setbacks north of S. Weller Street. North of S. Weller Street, a continuous setback of at least 15 feet from abutting street lot lines is required for portions of a structure above 85 feet in height, except that no setback is required from street lot lines abutting S. Weller Street. 3. Green street upper-level setback. If a lot abuts a designated green street, a continuous upper-level setback of at least 20 feet is required for all portions of structures above a height of 45 feet along the green street lot line. 4. Facade modulation. For a structure that exceeds 85 feet in height, modulation is required for the portion of a street-facing facade above 45 feet in height if any part of the facade above that height is located less than 15 feet from street lot lines and the facade above that height exceeds a length of 110 feet measured parallel to the street lot line. Projections from the street-facing facade or any other facade, such as balconies, within 15 feet of street lot lines or their projection, are included in this measurement of length. If facade modulation is required, a portion of the facade with a minimum length of 30 feet must be set back a minimum depth of 15 feet from street lot lines at all levels above 45 feet. B. In the IDM 165/85-170 zone, upper-level development standards include upper-level setbacks and facade modulation. 1. Upper-level setback. For lots abutting Maynard Avenue S., a continuous upper-level setback of at least 15 feet from the lot line abutting Maynard Avenue S. is required for portions of a structure above 45 feet in height. 2. Facade modulation. For structures exceeding 85 feet in height, modulation is required for portions of the street-facing facade exceeding 65 feet in height and located less than 10 feet from a street lot line. The maximum length of a street-facing facade without modulation is 110 feet, measured parallel to the street lot line. Projections from the street-facing facade, such as balconies, are included in the measurement of length. Where facade modulation is required, a portion of the facade must set back a minimum depth of 10 feet from street lot lines for a minimum length of 30 feet.
