Hi there, <\/p>\n
We am writing to try to get some information\/assistance related to interpretation of the City’s zoning code. This is for an R-7 district (no front yard setback required, residential). <\/p>\n
In the City’s zoning code for this type of district there are certain limitations on building height (as to be expected). This is controlled using setbacks and the sky exposure plane. For R7 there are two codes that apply. In the first scenario (Article 2 Chapter 3 Section 63-2), new construction of additional structures must be set back from building street walls (20 feet). From this the sky exposure plane is also set. In the second scenario (Article 2 Chapter 3 Section 64), there are different regulations that say if there is a front setback (minimum 15 feet) then there is not a max building height but rather a sky exposure plane that cannot be penetrated that starts a certain distance (60 feet) up from the street. <\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi there, We am writing to try to get some information\/assistance related to interpretation of the City’s zoning code.
