CHAPTER 6 <br />PROPOSED HEIGHT LIMITS* <br />0 EXISTING HEIGHT LIMITS <br />100' IN 100' <br />ea er V <br />eer <br />W <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 />UnlmNed <br />as ee•; es• ax ss ea <br />as <br />1 <br />O aE <br />J <br />to <br />PROPO®EO HEIGHT LIMITS MAY 13E INCREASED IF PROJECT MEETS ME13113M INCENTIVE®. <br />IN 200' HEIGHT ZONE, NO CAP ON POTENTIAL HEIGHT INCREASES. <br />IN OTHER HEIGHT ZONES, POTENTIAL HEIGHT INCREASE MAY REACH 50% A9OVE PROPOSED LIMITS. <br />Figure 38.
