• <br />Flat Roof \ <br />I <br />IN <br />Sloped Roof Cupola <br />.. 1 <br />I It <br />Varied Height Parapet <br />\\ <br />Continuous Parapet <br />1 1. <br />Minor Parapet Projection <br />Measurement of Minimum Height. As shown here, minimum height (H) is measured at the tallest point of <br />continuous height; that is, excluding minor projections of parapets, cupolas, or other minor height <br />projections <br />• Building Height <br />• <br />Minimum Height <br />Where Build -to Lines are shown along the Regulating Plan, street - facing buildings must be at least <br />20 feet high along the street - facing facade. (In locations wherebuildings are more than 20 feet <br />from build -to lines, buildings do not have to meet this requirement.) <br />Minimum building height is measured relative to the finished grade. As shown in the diagram, <br />minimum height is measured to the highest point of the roof, excluding minor lengths of <br />parapets, cupolas, or other discontinuous projecting features. Continuous parapets or false fronts <br />and peaked or sloped roofs do qualify towards meeting the minimum height. <br />Maximum Height <br />In all locations, the maximum allowable building height is 45 feet, measured at the tallest part of <br />the building. <br />Minor Projections. Minor projections and special architectural features such as clock towers, bell <br />towers, cupolas and ornamental portions of parapet walls may extend up to 10 feet above the <br />maximum height, provided they make up no more than one third of the length of a building's <br />facade. <br />DRAFT — 2/6/04 <br />22 PAGINATION TO BE ADJUSTED <br />
