As a further limitation, except for multifamily structures in the resort housing district, structures in the C Mangrove Forest zone shall not be of such height or size that they penetrate the planes established by a primary angle of light, which is an angle of 45 degrees measured above horizontal from front, side, and rear yard setback lines, open bodies of water setback lines, and other applicable setback lines, all measured at 30 feet NAVD or 20 feet above the predevelopment grade of the parcel, whichever is less restrictive, such plane projecting upward toward the center of the parcel. The height of all new buildings is not to exceed three stories above base flood elevation. Limited exceptions to height restrictions are as follows:

(1)

Chimneys. Chimneys may extend not more than three feet above the height of a structure, and may penetrate the primary angle of light, but only to the minimum height necessary for compliance with the building code. In no event shall a chimney exceed a height of 45 feet above mean sea level, regardless of the district in which it is located.

(2)

Gable ends. Gable ends may penetrate the primary angle of light if they have a minimum pitch of six on 12, and if they are contained within a triangle formed by the extension of the ridge line of the roof from which they project, the vertical extension of the setback line, and the primary angle of light.

(3)

Dormers and other architectural features. Dormers and other architectural features may penetrate the primary angle of light if they project from a single roof plane and if they do not:

a.

Exceed a total of 35 percent of the length of the roof plane from which they project;

b.

Penetrate a secondary angle of light, which is an angle of 45 degrees measured above horizontal from the applicable setback lines, but measured at 35 feet NAVD or 25 feet above predevelopment grade of the parcel, whichever is less restrictive, such plane projecting upward toward the center of the parcel; and

c.

Project above the top of the roof from which they project.

Measurement of such features shall be at their widest dimension. Measurement of the roof plane shall be along the eave line. Calculations shall be as seen from the same elevation view.

(c)

Front yard setbacks. There shall be a front yard setback for the principal structure in the C mangrove forest zone of not less than 75 feet from the centerline of minor arterial or collector roads and 50 feet from the centerline of any other street, except where a special setback is imposed, as set forth in article XIV, division 3, subdivision II of this chapter.

(d)
