(b) Conditional Use Permit. Building heights in excess of those standards contained in the district provisions and any other sections of this Chapter may be allowed by conditional use permit if the following conditions are met: 1. Demonstrated need is established for the increase in height and said increase will not violate the intent and character of the zoning district in which the structure is located. 2. The site is capable of accommodating the increased structure size. 3. The potential increased intensity and size of use does not cause an increase in traffic volumes beyond the capacity of the surrounding streets. 4. Public utilities and services are adequate. 5. For each additional story over the district limitation or for each additional 10 feet above the maximum allowed per district, front and side yard setback requirements shall be increased by 10 percent. 6. The construction does not limit solar access to abutting and/or neighboring properties. A shadow study shall be required illustrating shadow encroachment on adjoining properties. 7. The provisions of City Code Section 1007.016 are considered and satisfactorily met. (c) Obstructions. In the case of any proposal to construct or alter a structure which will exceed a height of 200 feet above ground level of the site, or any proposal to construct or alter a structure to a height of greater than an imaginary surface extending upward and outward at a slope of 100:1 from the nearest point of the nearest runway of a public airport, the applicant shall notify the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Transportation in writing of the plans at least 30 days in advance of making applicable permit requests to the City. The applicant shall provide the Zoning Administrator with any comments received from the Commission of the Minnesota Department of Transportation as part of the required applicable permit request. This local reporting is in addition to any Federal permitting and review processing which may be simultaneously required. (4) Accessory Buildings, Structures, and Uses. (a) General Provisions. 1.
