"Height to midpoint of sloped roof" means the middle of the distance between the top of the ridge lines of the roof and the bottom of the ceiling of the highest story or mezzanine of the building. If the highest story or mezzanine has an open-beamed or cathedral ceiling, then height shall be measured from the top of the ridge to the bottom of the top plate of the wall supporting the roof. It is the intent of this provision that the sloped roof should not allow any greater volume in the building than a flat-roofed building with equal measured height.
