CHAPTER 6 <br /> c. Maximum Height: Establish maximum building heights as indicated in <br /> Figures 38 and 40. This proposal continues to emphasize the <br /> wedding cake approach, with the ridgetop along Colby having the <br /> tallest buildings. Rather than unlimited heights, the proposal caps <br /> heights at 200 feet. Heights step downward each block toward the <br /> west more gradually than in the current regulations. Buildings up to <br /> 100 feet tall would be allowed under this proposal west of the alley <br /> between Grand Avenue and Rucker Avenue as opposed to the <br /> current 80 feet current height limit. The proposed heights in the <br /> Northeast are substantially lower than existing limits (from as high as <br /> 200 feet down to 80 feet in the existing proposal). The intent here is <br /> to encourage low to mid-rise construction, which is more realistic <br /> economically, and would fit well into the context of the area. <br /> I PROPOSED HEIGHT LIMITS* <br /> EXISTING HEIGHT LIMITS <br /> UnlimIted <br /> 200' 200' 200' 200' <br /> 150' 50' 150' <br /> 100 100' <br /> 100' _ 0 <br /> n' 80' ..IO' Er 80'.
