STANDARDS
- A mixed use tower is comprised of three parts: the base building, the tower, and the building top.
- A mixed use tower must use the standards of the mixed use building to proportion its base section and to promote harmony with adjacent low-rise context.
- The standards for a mixed use tower control the tower element as it rises above the base building, and tapers to form the building top.
- Mixed use towers must be set back at least 40 ft from side and rear lot lines.
- Mixed use towers must step back at least 10 feet from the facades of the base building.
- The uppermost 30% of a mixed use tower’s height must be step back at least 10 feet from the tower faces below to form a building top.
