Section 50.15 – GENERAL REGULATIONS

The following regulations apply to all uses in this zone unless otherwise noted:

1.    Refer to Chapter 1 KZC to determine what other provisions of this code may apply to the subject property.

2.    See KZC 50.20 for regulations regarding bulkheads and land surface modification.

3.    Along Lake Street South, north of Kirkland Avenue, buildings exceeding one story above Lake Street South shall demonstrate compliance with the Design Regulations of Chapter 92 KZC and all provisions of the Downtown Plan. Through Design Review (D.R.) the City shall find that any allowance for additional height is clearly outweighed by identified public benefits such as through-block public pedestrian access or through-block view corridors (does not apply to Public Access Pier or Boardwalk and Moorage Facility for One or Two Boats uses).

 

4.    In no case shall the height exceptions identified in KZC 50.62 and 115.60(2)(d) result in a structure which exceeds 28 feet above the abutting right-of-way (does not apply to Public Access Pier or Boardwalk, Moorage Facility for One or Two Boats uses and General Moorage Facility Uses).

 

5.    South of Second Avenue South, maximum height of structure is 41 feet above Lake Street South as measured at the midpoint of the frontage of the subject property on Lake Street South. Buildings exceeding two stories shall demonstrate compliance with the design regulations of Chapter 92 KZC and all provisions of the Downtown Plan (does not apply to Public Access Pier or Boardwalk and Moorage Facility for One or Two Boats uses).

 

6.    For purposes of measuring building height, if the subject property abuts more than one right-of-way, the applicant may choose which right-of-way shall be used to measure the allowed height of structure (does not apply to Public Access Pier or Boardwalk, Moorage Facility for One or Two Boats, and General Moorage Facility uses).

 

7.    May not use land waterward of the high waterline to determine lot size or to calculate allowable density.
