The purpose of the height modifying zone shall be to promote orderly, harmonious development of areas and to insure that the height of buildings and structures will be compatible with adjacent development.

(Prior code § 9254)

The height overlay zone shall be in the nature of a modifying zone. Land so classified shall also be classified in one or more other zones. Property so classified shall be delineated on the zoning map by a combination of zone symbols. For example, R-3-H-50 means residential, multiple-family, building height up to fifty feet. The height regulations in this section shall supersede the height regulations in the underlying zone.

(Prior code § 9254.1)

Whenever any property on the zoning map of the city has in addition to its zone designation the symbol "H" followed by a numerical figure, the provisions hereof shall apply concerning height limitations for any buildings or structures located, or to be located upon such property. The height of buildings or structures in an H-zone cannot exceed the numerical figure following the H on the zoning map.

(Prior code § 9254.2)

The provisions hereof shall not be applicable to any property unless the commission and council have conducted public hearings, and made the findings required in a zone reclassification matter. (See Chapter 17.76 of this code, zone reclassification.)
