Footnote:
1 Unless abutting a more restrictive zoning district or as required to maintain the vision clearance area.
B.
Special Setbacks—Side or Rear Yard Abutting a More Restrictive District.
1.
Property abutting a more restrictive zoning district shall have the same yard setback as required by the abutting district. An additional ten feet shall be added for each ten foot increment in building height over 35 feet.
2.
Measurement of the height transition area shall be made between the foundation of the proposed building and the property line of the abutting district.
3.
When the proposed structure has different sections that have different heights, the height transition area shall be measured for each vertical surface as if it were to be freestanding. The building then must be located on the site so that no section is closer to the abutting property line than it would be if the section was freestanding.
4.
The required buffering and screening and utilities may be located within the height transition area. Off-street parking, accessory structures and incidental development may be located within the height transition area but not any areas designated as buffering and screening area.
