12/5/2024


All #stories# that partially or wholly exceed the applicable maximum heights set forth in Section 87-322 (Base heights and
transition heights) shall be considered a “tower” and may exceed such transition height only in accordance with the tower
provisions of this Section.
(a)   Maximum number of towers

       For #zoning lots# with less than 130,000 square feet of #lot area#, only one tower shall be permitted. For #zoning lots#
       with 130,000 square feet of #lot area# or more, not more than two towers shall be permitted. The minimum separation
       between any two towers on the same #zoning lot# shall be 50 feet.

(b)   Setbacks

       All towers shall comply with the applicable setback provisions set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 87-322.

       The dormer provisions of paragraph (b)(1) of Section 23-413 (Permitted obstructions in certain districts) shall not apply
       to the tower portion of a #building#. In lieu thereof, up to 50 percent of the width of the #street wall# of a tower shall
       be permitted to encroach into a required setback area, except in setback areas along the #shore public walkway#.



(c)   Maximum tower size

       Each #story# of a tower shall not exceed a gross area of 10,000 square feet, except that any encroachment into a setback
       area provided in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section need not be included in such gross area.



(d)   Maximum tower width

       On Parcels 1, 3, 4 and 7, as shown on Map 1 in the Appendix to this Chapter, the maximum width of any #story# of a
       tower facing the #shoreline# shall not exceed 130 feet, and on Parcel 2 the maximum width of any #story# of a tower
       facing mapped parkland shall not exceed 100 feet.



(e)   Maximum height of towers

       For #zoning lots# with 100,000 square feet or less of #lot area#, the maximum height of a tower shall be 300 feet, and for
       #zoning lots# with more than 100,000 square feet of #lot area# the maximum height of a tower shall be 400 feet.

       However, for #zoning lots# with two towers, such maximum tower height of 400 feet shall apply to only one tower and
       a maximum tower height of 260 feet shall apply to the second tower. There shall be a height differential of at least 40 feet
       between any two towers on a #zoning lot#.



(f)   Tower top articulation

       The uppermost three #stories# of a tower, or as many #stories# as are located entirely above a height of 300 feet,
       whichever is less, shall have a #lot coverage# not exceeding 90 percent of the #lot coverage# of the #story# immediately
       below such #stories#.
