107-73 - Exceptions to Height Regulations

LAST AMENDED
6/29/1989

For any #development#, the City Planning Commission may grant a special permit to modify the height regulations as set forth
in Section 23-631, paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) and Section 107-43, provided that the Commission finds that:

(a)    such #development# is so located as not to impair the essential character of the surrounding area;

(b)    by concentrating permitted #floor area# in a #building# or #buildings# of greater height covering less land, the
        preservation of existing topography, #designated open space# or the protection of an outstanding view from a public
        space, will be assured, and that such preservation would not be possible by careful siting of lower #buildings# containing
        the same permitted #floor area# and covering more land; and

(c)    that the #development's# design proposals take full advantage of all special characteristics of the site.
