(c)

Structured parking above grade is prohibited where the parking structure would be immediately adjacent to a single dwelling unit residential zone property.

2.

Layback slope. In addition to the height limits set forth in this article, a building cannot penetrate a layback slope line of thirty (30) degrees, beginning from the closest ground point of the lot line of any property within any residential zone where single unit detached, semi-detached, attached, or townhouse development exists or is recommended in the plan, regardless of intervening roads or other transportation facilities as shown in Figure 12.1.
