*   Site Plan Review required for those items. Also for P-1 and H Districts (see Chapters 1258 and 1230).
**   The minimum cubic content shall be calculated as defined herein (see Section 1240.07(20)).
   (a)   The maximum building height in the R-E, R-L, R-M, R-1, and R-2 districts shall be determined in accordance with the following graphic representation 1 or mathematical representation 2:
      Graphic representation 1: In the appropriate location and at the proper scale on the front elevation, draw a 15' x 20' "measurement triangle" as illustrated below. Extend the dashed line to 35 feet high. No portion of the building may extend into the setback or above the dashed line.
      Mathematical representation 2: The maximum permitted height relative to the side property line is equal to: (1.33 x side setback measured in feet), up to a maximum height at the peak of roof of 35 feet.
   (b)   The total of both side setbacks shall not be less than one-third (1/3) of the lot width. The smaller of the side setbacks shall be equal to or greater than 37% of the total of both side setbacks.
   (c)   In the R-E, R-L, R-M, R-1, and R-2 districts, the maximum height measured at the rear of the building shall be determined using a measurement triangle, in accordance with the following guidelines (see graphic 2):
      (1)   Extend the average grade line horizontally from the rear face of the house to the rear property line (point A).
      (2)   Mark the 40-foot rear yard setback (35-foot in the R-2 district) on the horizontal grade line.
      (3)   At the 40-foot mark (35-foot mark in the R-2 district), extend a 20-foot long line upward and perpendicular to the horizontal grade line. The top of the perpendicular line is point B.
      (4)   Connect points A and B and extend the line until it intersects the maximum height line established for the front elevation.
      (5)   No portion of the building may extend into the setback or above the rear elevation maximum height line.
