In accordance with the provisions of Section 91-31 (Street Wall Regulations), setbacks are required for any portion of a
#building or other structure# that exceeds the maximum base heights specified for the applicable #street# in Section 91-31.

Required setbacks shall be provided at a height not lower than any minimum base height or 60 feet where none is specified and
not higher than any maximum base height specified for the applicable #street# in Section 91-31. The depth of the setback shall
be determined by the #lot area# of the #zoning lot#, as shown in the following table:

REQUIRED DEPTH OF SETBACKS


                           #Lot area# of #zoning lot#                Minimum setback depth


                           Less than 15,000 square feet              10 feet


                           15,001 to 30,000 square feet              15 feet


                           Greater than 30,000 square feet           20 feet


For "Type 1" and "Type 2A and 2B" #street walls#, the required setbacks shall be measured from the #street line#.

For "Type 3" #street walls#, the required setbacks shall be measured from a line drawn at or parallel to the #street line# so that at
least 70 percent of the #aggregate width of street walls# of the #building# at the minimum base height are within such line and
the #street line#.

For all other #street walls#, the required setbacks shall be measured from a line drawn at, or parallel to, the #street line# so that at
least 50 percent of the #aggregate width of street walls# of the #building# at the minimum base height are within such drawn
line and the #street line#. However, setbacks are not required for #street walls# fronting upon the major portion of a bonused
#public plaza#.

For #buildings# within the Historic and Commercial Core as shown on Map 1 in Appendix A, any #building# or portion of a
#building# may be located within the required setback area beneath a #sky exposure plane# that rises from a height of 100 feet
above the #street line# over the #zoning lot# at a vertical distance of six to a horizontal distance of one.
