Architectural Design Standards

ADS 5.4 Building Height & Transition

ADS 5.4.1 Intent.

Building design shall respect the context of adjacent residential neighborhoods, including the height, scale, form, and character of surrounding development.

Standard:

ADS 5.4.2 Building Height.

The building height is regulated by the UDO.

ADS 5.4.3 Building Height in RP-3.

Within the RP-3 zoning district, three-story structures shall be permitted provided the three-story portion of any building shall be setback a minimum of 50 feet from any adjacent streets or single-family residential development.

ADS 5.4.4 Height Transition to Adjacent Residential Uses.

Any portion of a building closer than 50 feet from a common property line that abuts R-1, RP-1, R-1A, RP-1A, or RP-1N shall be no higher than twelve (12) feet above the highest point of the closest existing residential structure. The closest existing residential structure shall be defined as the residential structure that is closest to the common property line that the residential and commercial development share. This does not apply if the residential structure is located across a street from the development.

ADS 5.4.5 Applicability.

This standard shall not apply to buildings within the same development proposal; this standard shall apply to only those buildings along the perimeter of a development.

ADS 5.4.6 Exclusions.

For the purposes of this standard, no sub-zone in a Mixed-Use District shall be construed to be a residential use.
