11-3-5: BUILDING HEIGHT:
Buildings higher than thirty five feet (35') shall adhere to the following 1 :
   A.   Provide suitable ladder access to all occupiable areas and the roof, as approved by the fire marshal. The building shall be constructed of noncombustible materials, except for interior improvements. Install sprinklers to comply with NFPA13 standards, regardless of building square footage.
   B.   No portion of a building above thirty five feet (35') in height, or two (2) stories, whichever is less, shall be closer than twenty (20) horizontal feet from the street right of way, in order to mitigate the aesthetic impact of additional height from the street. (See diagram in section 11-8-1, appendix D of this title.)
   C.   The maximum diagonal horizontal dimension of any portion of a building in excess of thirty five feet (35') in height shall be one hundred twenty feet (120') measured to the outside of the building face, in order to limit excessive massiveness in taller buildings. A minimum separation of thirty feet (30') shall be maintained between those portions of structures exceeding thirty five feet (35') in height, except for uninhabited architectural extensions. (See diagram in section 11-8-1, appendix D of this title.) (Ord. A-407, 3-15-1982; amd. Ord. 05-25, 11-21-2005)
