23.75.120

A. Number and distribution of highrise structures. Table A for 23.75.120 establishes limits on the number and distribution of highrise structures by sector. No highrise structures are allowed in Block 1. Table A for 23.75.120 Number and distribution of highrise structures Sector Maximum number of highrise structures NW 5 NE 2 SE 3 SW 3 B. Maximum gross floor area per story, by block as shown in Exhibit A for 23.75.020 . 1. In Blocks 2, 3, and 4: a. If structure height is 160 feet or less, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 15,000 square feet of gross floor area. b. If structure height exceeds 160 feet, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 11,000 square feet of gross floor area. 2. In Blocks 5 and 6: a. If structure height is 125 feet or less, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 15,000 square feet of gross floor area. b. If structure height exceeds 125 feet, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 11,000 square feet of gross floor area. 3. Highrise structures in Blocks 7 and 8 are subject to the same standards that apply in subsection 23.75.120.B.1, except that one highrise structure on each of these two blocks is allowed to meet the following standards in lieu of those in subsection 23.75.120.B.1: a. If structure height is 125 feet or less, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 35,000 square feet of gross floor area. b. If structure height exceeds 125 feet, each story wholly or in part above 85 feet is limited to a maximum of 24,000 square feet of gross floor area. C. Highrise separation. 1. All portions of a proposed highrise structure above 85 feet in height shall be separated horizontally from all portions of an existing highrise structure above 85 feet, whether on the same block or a different block, as follows and as illustrated in Exhibit A for 23.75.120 : a. If the façade or smallest bounding rectangle of a proposed highrise structure does not overlap with the middle third of any façade of an existing highrise structure, or with the middle third of any side of the smallest bounding rectangle of an existing highrise structure, the minimum separation is 80 feet from all portions of the existing highrise structure. b. If the façade or smallest bounding rectangle of a proposed highrise structure does overlap with the middle third of any façade of an existing highrise structure, or with the middle third of any side of the smallest bounding rectangle of an existing highrise structure, the minimum separation is 120 feet from all portions of the existing highrise. 2. For purposes of this subsection 23.75.120.C, an "existing highrise structure" is either: a. a highrise structure that is physically present; or b. a proposed highrise structure for which a Master Use Permit decision that includes approval of the highrise structure has been approved for issuance, unless and until either: 1) the Master Use Permit decision is cancelled before the Master Use Permit is issued, or the Master Use Permit issued pursuant to such decision expires or is cancelled, without the highrise structure having been constructed; or 2) a ruling by a hearing examiner or court of competent jurisdiction reversing or vacating such decision, or determining such decision or the Master Use Permit issued thereunder to be invalid, becomes final and no longer subject to judicial review.
