Sec. 656.399.11. - Mandarin Height Overlay.

The Council finds that restricting the height of structures in the Mandarin Height Overlay as provided herein will promote the orderly development of Mandarin and protect the character, aesthetic appeal, and quality of life for Mandarin residents. Therefore, the following criteria shall apply to all development applications and these criteria specifically supersede any other provisions in Chapter 656 : (a) The Mandarin Height Overlay area is visually depicted in Exhibit 1 and generally described as the area in City Council District 6 south of Interstate 295 and west of Interstate 95, specifically excluding existing Developments of Regional Impact and an area north of Greenland Road and east of Derby Forest Drive. (b) The maximum height of any structure by right within the Overlay area shall be limited to 35 feet, unless the property is in a commercial land use category that does not directly abut a residential use, and is located within 1,000 feet of a limited access right-of-way interchange. (c) Height increases in excess of 35 feet within commercial land use categories that meet subsection (a) shall require an additional one foot of building setback for each three vertical feet, up to a maximum height of 60 feet. Any increase in height beyond 60 feet shall require approval through an Administrative Deviation. (d) Height increases beyond 35 feet for all other structures not addressed by subsections (a) and (b) shall require approval through an Administrative Deviation. (Ord. 2007-653-E, § 2)
