CHAPTER6 <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 /> PROPOSED HEIGHT LIMITS* <br /> EXISTING HEIGHT LIMITS <br /> Unlimited <br /> 200' 200 200' 200' <br /> tso' 60' 150' <br /> loo' 100' <br /> 100' <br /> 11.78o' 80, 80' 80' 85' 66' 8U a' b0, <br /> � 9, 80 65' 65' I 65' 65' <br /> 60' 80' 65 .+rY ..a. • 1 w ;or. <br /> �y 65' fi3' 65' <br /> „civ 8 <br /> .74% <br /> Hewitt Ave. o <br /> -rr-"i-r yr-rr-•� <br /> 2 m <br /> PROPOSED HEIGHT LIMITS MAY EIE INCREASED IF PROJECT MEETS t7ESIGN INCENTIVES. <br /> IN 200' HEIGHT ZONE, NO GAP ON POTENTIAL HEIGHT INCREASES. <br /> IN OTHER HEIGHT ZONES, POTENTIAL HEIGHT INCREASE MAY REACH 50% ASOVE PROPOSED LIMITS. <br /> Figure 38.
