Height Standards

Zoning ordinance update

Last updated: November 12, 2010

On November 1, 2010 The City Council adopted an ordinance to update height standards. Key changes include:

• Replacing the current building height limits, which are based on proximity to "Protected Residential Property" with a new map based set of height limits that allow greater ability to regulate building height by location;
• Adding new shadow standards; and
• Adding new step back standards along pedestrian streets and along Protected Residential lines.
