HEIGHT LIMITATION (20.30.060)
• 20.30.050 Grade Establishment
• Measured from average grade if the slope is 5% or less
• Roofs over the Flat Roof Limit must have a minimum 3:12 pitch
• Sloped roofs with a pitch less than 3:12 and parapets, railings, etc are considered flat roofs for height limits
• Heights are measured to the top of all finished materials.
• Height certification will be required in some cases
60. Flat Roof Limit: 24 feet Sloped Roof Allowable Ridge Height: 29 feet
61. x Height certification inspection required? Yes No If so, add a note to elevations stating Height
Certification Required.
62. x Provide a topographic survey (stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor) to establish slope and average grade
or use a subdivision grading plan, if applicable.
63. Provide a sheet showing the outline of the proposed structure over a topographic survey to verify the
determination of slope and grade to be used for measuring height.
64. x
Provide slope of the lot. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely
approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided polygon shall not be smaller
than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be located entirely within the buildable area of the lot. Identify
the elevation points from the survey and the distance used to calculate the slope.
65. x
Establishment of Grade (Five Percent or Less Slope)- The grade of the surface from which structure height is
measured shall be a plane established using the average of the elevations at each corner of the four-sided
polygon. Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established grade elevation from which to measure structure height.
Identify the four points used to determine the grade plane on the site plan and illustrate the average grade
calculation.
66.
Establishment of Grade (More than Five Percent Slope)- The established grade from which structure height is
measured shall be a plane established by determining the elevation of the lot at five evenly spaced points along
each of the two side property lines and connecting each of the points along a side property line with the
corresponding point on the opposite side property line. The five evenly spaced points along each side property
line shall be located so that one point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with the side property
line and another point is located at the intersection of the rear setback line with the side property line. The other
three points along the side property line shall be located so that all five points are equidistant from each other.
Provide a grade plane exhibit per the methodology above and identify the survey points used to establish
the grade plane.
67. X Label the established grade on all elevation sheets.
68. For lots with a more than 5 percent slope, plot roof plan over established grade plan exhibit to assist with
determination of grade points located directly below ridge peaks, roof areas, and/or parapets.
69. Label interpolated grade points (based on established grade plane) below any critical ridge, parapet, etc.
70. x Dimension heights from established grade to: top of flat roof ridge peak all rooftop equipment
deck rails any flat elements

two-foot sections are not only limited in height but also to 2 feet by 4 feet in width and depth. In addition, the
chimney must be located a minimum distance of 10 feet from the nearest roof plane. Label the dimensions of
the chimney plus any portion of the cap/arrestor.

DESIGN CRITERIA (20.48.180 B.)
For 78-83 below, applicable to all single-unit and two-unit residential buildings citywide
83.
Walls: Long unarticulated exterior walls are discouraged on all structures. The visual massing of a building should
be reduced by incorporating appropriate design elements, including variation in the wall plane, building
modulation, opening, recesses, a vertical element, varied textures, and design accents (e.g., moldings, pilasters,
etc.). Front facades shall include windows.
84.
Upper floors: Portions of upper floors should be set back to scale down facades that face the street, common
open space, and adjacent residential structures. Upper story setbacks are recommended either as full-length
“setbacks” or partial indentations for upper story balconies, decks, and/or aesthetic setbacks.
85. Architectural treatment: Architectural treatment of all elevations visible from public places, including alleys, is
encouraged. Treatments may include window treatments, cornices, siding, eaves, and other architectural features.
86.
Front façade: Where the neighborhood pattern is for the primary entrance to face the street, the primary entry and
windows should be the dominant elements of the front façade. Primary entrances should face the street with a
clear, connecting path to the public sidewalk or street. Alternatively, entry elements may be visible from the street
without the door necessarily facing the street.
87. Main entrance: The main dwelling entrance should be clearly articulated through the use of architectural detailing.

building permit.
90.
TWO- TO FOUR-UNIT DWELLING PROJECTS The attached notice shall be signed by property owners and
copied into the plan set before the issuance of a building permit for the development of two- to four-unit dwellings.
The notice serves as a record of acknowledgment that property owners understand should they choose to pursue

Parcel Map application is a discretionary process and is not guaranteed.
91.

Planning can sign off on the building permit final. Provide a copy of the first page of the recorded document.
92.
CONDOS - (New Structures) Before a condominium unit may be sold, a building permit is required for a
description change from “duplex” to “condominiums.” Before building permits can be finalized, the Parcel Map
must be signed off by the Public Works Department, approved by the County, and RECORDED at the County.
Proof of recordation will be required before Planning can sign off on the description change. Provide a copy of the
first page of the recorded document.
