1   A master or sector plan may recommend a building height or density limit up to the maximum of the zone, and the appropriate mix of commercial, residential, and light industrial uses. Notwithstanding any building height limitation recommended in a master plan or sector plan, the Planning Board may further limit the maximum allowable building height to achieve compatibility with surrounding land uses.  However, the Planning Board may waive any height limit established in a master or sector plan, up to the maximum allowed in the zone, if expressly recommended in the applicable master or sector plan.  In the MXTC/TDR zone, residential density above the standard method must use transferred development rights and follow the special regulations in 59-C-11.5.2.
2   The Planning Board may allow a front setback from the public right-of-way greater than 10 feet subject to site plan review and the street facade controls of MXTC zone.  Setbacks from the curb must be of sufficient width to provide for streetscape and adequate sidewalk space for pedestrians.
3   Public use space may be provided indoors or outdoors and must conform to master or sector plan recommendations.  Development on lots of up to 40,000 square feet may provide a portion or all of the required public use space as green area. Development on lots of more than 40,000 square feet must not provide all of the required public use space as green area.  However, the Planning Board may waive any public use space requirement if expressly recommended in a master or sector plan.
4   The Planning Board may waive setback requirements if expressly recommended in a master or sector plan.
