BUILDING HEIGHT/STORIES
Design Intent:
Buildings should convey heights that appear similar in scale to those

2: a building should be perceived as being predominantly two stories,
especially at the street edge. Some limited portions of a building in these
areas may also be taller as allowed by the LDR.

Area 1: Design Guideline:
1.11 Reflect the height of traditional buildings as perceived at the
street edge.
a. Maintain a one and two-story façade height at the street level. See
In Area 2, while building height
maximums are set by the LDRs, a design standards for exceptions.
