3.8.14: BUILDING STEPBACK STANDARDS ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL ZONES:
For buildings taller than thirty five feet (35') in any zone and which are located adjacent to a residential zone, the building height must be designed so as to "stepback" the building height at least one foot (1') for every increase in height above thirty five feet (35'). For example, for a building height of forty feet (40'), the height could start as thirty five feet (35') at the setback line, then increase in height one foot (1') for every foot behind the setback line, and reach the design height of forty feet (40') at a distance of at least five feet (5') behind the setback line.
