ARTICLE III General to Zones
3.5 MEASUREMENT OF HEIGHT
3.5.2 A Story is a Habitable level within a Building of a maximum fourteen (14) feet in
Height from finished floor to finished floor. Basements are not considered Stories for
the purposes of determining Building Height. A ground level retail Story may exceed
this limit up to a total height of twenty-five (25) feet. A single floor level exceeding
fourteen (14) feet, or twenty-five (25) feet at ground level retail, shall be counted as
two (2) Stories; except for T6-36, T6-48, T6-60, aR4 T6-80, and D1, where a single
floor level exceeding fourteen (14) feet may count as one (1) story if the building
height does not exceed the maximum height, including all applicable bonuses,
allowed by the transect at fourteen (14) feet per floor. Where the first two stories are
retail, their total combined Height shall not exceed thirty-nine (39) feet and the first
floor shall be a minimum of fourteen (14) feet in Height. Mezzanines may not exceed
thirty-three percent (33%) of the Habitable Space Floor Area, except for D1, where
mezzanines many not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Habitable Space Floor Area.
Mezzanines extending beyond thirty-three percent (33%) of the Floor Area, or fifty
percent (50%) of the Floor Area in D1, shall be counted as an additional floor. The
Height of a Parking Structure concealed by a Liner may be equal to the Height of the
Liner; this may result in a Liner Story concealing more than one level of Parking.
Section 3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances insofar as they are inconsistent or in
conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby repealed.
