§ 107-73 Exceptions to Height Regulations
ZR § 107-73
For any development, the City Planning Commission may grant a special permit to modify the height regulations as set forth in Section 23-42 (Height and Setback Requirements in R1 Through R5 Districts) and Section 107-43, provided that the Commission finds that:
(a)such development is so located as not to impair the essential character of the surrounding area;
(b)by concentrating permitted floor area in a building or buildings of greater height covering less land, the preservation of existing topography, designated open space or the protection of an outstanding view from a public space, will be assured, and that such preservation would not be possible by careful siting of lower buildings containing the same permitted floor area and covering more land; and
(c)that the development's design proposals take full advantage of all special characteristics of the site.
