(A) Building height.
(1) As shown in Figure 112-6, building height is measured vertically from the average elevation of the finished grade of the ground covered by the structure to the:
(a) Average height between the bottom of the eave and the ridge of a pitched roof;
(b) The coping of a flat roof; and
(c) The deck line of a mansard roof.
(2) Roofs covering decorative elements, elevator shafts, stair towers, parapets and other similar non-habitable building features are not included in the calculation of building height. See § 155.308.020 (Height Exceptions).
(B) Fence and wall height. See § 155.320.030 (Measurement of Fence and Wall Height).
(C) Freestanding structure height. For freestanding structures such as poles and towers, height is measured as the vertical distance from the finished grade at the base of the structure to the highest point of the structure.
