Such features are limited to that height necessary for proper functioning, and any roof structure shall not exceed 25% of the roof area; nor be used for any purpose other than a use incidental to the approved use of the building. In no event shall the height of a building and any appurtenances located within the Airport Hazard Area (AHA) exceed the limitations within the AHA. Height restrictions in the AHA are defined by the slope gradient 7:1 from the centerline of the runway.
6. 700 square feet for an accessory guest house, which must be incidental to, and constructed after, the principal dwelling unit.
7. 25-foot maximum at the eaves; 35 foot maximum at the ridge board.

23. Yards abutting streets and vacant areas shall be determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission. For yards abutting existing developments, the minimum setback will be equal to the setback in the adjacent development. The Commission may require greater setbacks, as well as screen walls, hedges, shrubs and trees to preserve the character of the surrounding area.
24. Same as the underlying zoning, except a greater height may be approved if design features, such as open space and building setbacks, to avoid adverse impacts due to the increase in height.
