C. Incentive Height Maximums Where Map 22-1 includes a range of maximum building heights(e.g.5 to 8 floors),the lower number is referred to as the"Base Height Maximum"and the higher number is referred to as the"Incentive Height Maximum".A building may be built to the Base Height Maximum without application of the Development Heights Incentive Program.See Development Height Incentives Program(EMC 19.22.080). 19.22.030 Where Height Reductions Are Required. A. Intent The following requirements are intended to promote compatibility between areas with different permitted heights and different permitted uses.The following instances might require reduction in allowed building heights: 1. Where multifamily zones abut single family zones 2. Where commercial zones about single family zones 3. Where industrial uses abut single or multifamily zones 4. Where development is within the airport compatibility area B. Height Reductions-Adjacency,Table 1. Table 22-4 requires height reductions where a development site is in a zone identified in Column A and which abuts an adjacent zone shown in Column B. In these circumstances,the development must adhere to the height limits in the adjacent zone(from Column B)for the distance specified in Column C. If the proposed development abuts a residential zone that is not within the city limits,the height limits assumed will be twenty-eight feet(28'). 2. The measurement of distance from the building to adjacent zone is from adjacent zone boundary,except where the adjacent zone boundary is along the centerline of a street or alley,the measurement shall be made from the property line across an alley or street in the adjacent residential zone. 3. See Figure 22-2 for illustration of how these reductions are applied.
