(A) Distances. When determining distances for setbacks and structure dimensions, all distances are measured along a horizontal plane from the appropriate property line, edge of building, structure, storage area, parking area, or other object, these distances are not measured by following the topography of the land. Measuremen ts are also taken along the shortest distance between two points.
(B) Measuring sign and structure height.
(1) Measuring building height. Procedures for the measurement of building height are provided in § 157.084
(B).
(2) Measuring height of signs and other structures. The height of other structures such as signs, flag poles and fences is the vertical distance from the ground level immediately under the structure to the top of a structure, excluding exempted portions. When chimneys and other objects are allowed to exceed the base height of the zone by a set amount, that set amount is measured to the top of these objects.
