Height Limit, Grade, and Bulk Regulations
A. Implementation of regulations has become problematic
The current system of measuring building height is complex primarily because
determination of the:
Appropriate grade at which to measure height is based upon the term
"natural grade", which is difficult to verify; and
2. Maximum allowable height is based on the principle of roof slope average,
which has been misapplied due to a past code interpretation for a specific
project where the roof plane was extended beyond the wall plate
intersection to the setback line.
In one example, hundreds of hours of staff time and months of delay were expended to
examine old aerial photos, surveys, and geotechnical studies in an attempt to identify a
grade that has not been seen for 60-80 years in order to design a 4 -story residence.
The present system also requires the retention of grading plans and surveys so that the
imaginary grade used for the purpose of measuring building height can be documented
for any possible future expansion or alteration.
Today, planning staff spends 2-3 hours per plan check to verify height alone. The
present system has created an environment for mistakes to be made more readily.
Additionally, it is possible to mislead staff with sloppy, inaccurate, incomplete, or false
survey information or building plans. These situations lead to undesirable outcomes or
requests for Special Circumstance Variances.
A fundamental reform of the system is warranted. The regulations should be simplified
while maintaining the same basic building allowances and appropriate safeguards to
prevent overbuilding, taking into consideration the goals of the City and property
owners. A revised and simplified system would:
1. Reduce design time
2. Reduce plan check time
3. Ease administration of the code over the long term
4. Reduce the environment for mistakes and abuse
5. Maintain the same basic building allowances as the present regulations
May 4, 2007 Page 1 of 9
Technical Paper #1 Height Limit ,Grade, and Bulk Regulations
B. Determination of grade — Natural grade.
The grade is the baseline from which the height of the building is determined. The grade
used to measure height is based upon the term "natural grade." In 1992, the City
Council defined natural grade to be the "unaltered natural vertical location of the ground
surface." They also re -drafted the definition of grade and broadened the use of finished
grade. Previous standards prohibited the use of artificial surfaces (finished grades) and
only allowed their use with the approval of the Planning Commission. The change in
1992 allowed the use of any finished grade when retaining walls or filled surfaces were
used for the purpose of measuring height prior to October 12, 1972.
Presently, the unaltered vertical location of the ground surface is used as the baseline
from which the height of the building is determined unless another grade or elevation is
identified by the code. Determining what the natural grade for a site is difficult when the
site is altered. The code identifies four basic alternatives to the natural grade:
1. Finished grades used for height measurement created by new subdivisions.
2. Grades created prior to 1972 without a grading plan or building permit.
3. Grades in areas prone to flooding.
4. Grades set by the Planning Commission through Site Plan Review approval.
The second item is where the Planning staff spends many hours in an attempt to
identify the natural profile of the site, which often has not been seen for many years. As
a result, staff must attempt to identify the natural profile using limited information.
Finished grades are used when retaining walls and filled surfaces are present and
excavated surfaces (e.g., basements or wine cellars) are not used. This last provision
has been more broadly applied through the years so that no excavated grades are used
to measure height today. Most often the existing grade is actually used if the excavation
of the site occurs as part of the construction.
Designers routinely ask staff to identify the baseline grade especially when there is even
a modest slope gradient or there is a retaining wall indicating excavation. The lack of
certainty of the baseline grade makes it very time consuming and frustrating for both
designers and staff to identify one. If a designer wants a grade higher than the existing
grade based upon the identification of a historical natural profile of the site, the resulting
height of the building can be increased dramatically because the grade from which the
height is measured is significantly higher than the existing grade. This leads to
questions and complaints from surrounding residents when the building appears taller
than expected.
The natural grade will fluctuate on some sites and on occasion it falls in two different
directions. With the height limit following this three dimensional contour, designing a
residence to the limits of the code, which is the trend these days, becomes complex.

Technical Paper #1 Height Limit ,Grade, and Bulk Regulations
Plan checking the project becomes a labor-intensive task even for an experienced
planner and it is conducive to errors by the less experienced.
C. Determination of roof height.
Sloped roofs measured from the midpoint The height of a
structure is the vertical distance between the highest point of the structure
and the grade directly below. The height of a sloped roof is measured from
its midpoint to the grade directly below. The midpoint of the roof is
measured from the ridge to where the wall plate intersects the roof plane.
The peak of the roof may not extend more than 5 feet above the allowed
height limit. For example, the midpoint of the roof cannot extend more
than 24 feet above grade and the ridge of that particular roof plane cannot
extend more than 5 feet above the midpoint. See illustration below.

2. Staff interpretation extends roof plane. The code is clear on how
to determine the midpoint of a roof: however, in about 1986, the Planning
Director made an interpretation of the code for a specific project where the
roof plane was extended beyond the wall plate intersection to the setback
line. This had the effect of lengthening the roof plane artificially, thereby
May 4, 2007 Page 3 of 9
Technical Paper #1 Height Limit ,Grade, and Bulk Regulations
lowering the midpoint of the roof. The illustration above shows the artificial
roof plane extension concept. Also a sliver of an actual roof plane can be
constructed to satisfy midpoint requirements.
The argument in favor of the extended roof plane extension
"interpretation" was that the mass of the building was less because the
peak did not exceed the 5 -foot allowance above the height limit. With this
new interpretation, planning staff began applying it more broadly where
today, it is a commonly applied un -codified rule. The unintended
consequence of this uncodified rule is that a third level of a residence is
more easily achieved due to the increased building height that may be
achieved. Additionally, on sloping lots, the actual measurement of the
height of an individual roof plan can take place outside of the building wall
at a different grade elevation. The use of the imaginary roof extension is
not supported by the Zoning Code; however discontinuing its use could
have negative consequences to pending projects.
D. Floor Area Limit
Like building height, many residential structures especially on smaller lots, are being
designed to the maximum floor area limit. For typical R-1 and R-2 lots the maximum
floor area limit (maximum square footage) is determined by multiplying the buildable
area of a lot (lot size minus setback area) by a factor of 1.5 or 2. It is not uncommon to
see plans submitted that propose a 2699 square foot residence on a lot that is allowed a
maximum of 2700 square feet. In order to ensure accuracy, the plan checkers manually
calculate the square footage using the dimensions shown on the floor plans. Typically, a
gross figure is determined then the allowed deductions for second and third floor
stairwells, attics and basements with ceiling heights of less than 7 feet, and other
exceptions are then deducted. Like determining the building height, calculation of floor
area is often very time consuming. However, most Planned Community Districts and
residentially zoned properties with a "B" overlay use a lot coverage provision whereby
the footprint must not exceed a certain percentage of lot area, often 60%. Since only the
outside perimeter of a proposed building is calculated to determine the lot coverage and
since there is no limit on square footage, the plans are far easier to check.
Another concern is the number of attic and basement areas with ceiling heights of 6 -feet
11 -inches that are possibly being turned into useable/conditioned space after the final
building inspection. In order to help alleviate this issue the maximum ceiling height limit
could be reduced to 4 or 5 feet.

3. Allowance for stairwells and elevator shafts to exceed height limit.
4. Subterranean encroachments into setbacks require modification permits since
they are not addressed as allowable encroachments. Currently modification
permits are required for 6" caisson encroachments.
5. How should plans in the pipeline be addressed?
6. Retaining walls. What kind of height limits should there be?
F. Potential Code Amendments
Measure height from average elevation of existing grade measured using
elevations measured at corners of buildable area. It should be replaced with a
procedure that measures height from an elevation that is based on the existing
grade, which reflects the surface of the ground as it exists prior to disturbance in
preparation for a project rather than the unaltered natural surface of the ground.
Use of "natural" grade would be eliminated.
2. Elevations should also be referenced to a fixed reference point (e.g., referenced
to curb) that can be verified in the field in order to insure compliance with the
height limits.
3. Make provisions for sloped lots. On a lot or portion of a lot with a slope of more
than 10/15 percent, the height limit could be an inclined plane (daylight plane)
beginning at the height limit on the top of the slope and extending to the height
limit at the toe of the slope. No portion of a structure should be allowed to
intercept this daylight plane. This approach would allow development on slopes
to develop to the City's height limits. See Figure below.

4. Eliminate use of roof plane midpoint for height measurement - measure to
highest point of roof. The ridge of a sloped roof will no longer be allowed to
extend more than 5 feet above the height limit. All parts of the structure would
have to be constructed within a single height limit, with the limited exceptions for
chimneys, vents, cupolas, stairwells, and similar features
