Attn City Commission and Community Development Board,
I would like to see the new draft of the UDC put back actual feet height requirements. The
new limiting factor of stories is going to allow for too much, too fast.
Mr. Happle posited the question at the last CDB meeting, can we slow the growth to a moremanageable pace that lessens some of the impacts.
I think this article addresses some of those concerns and poses some great solutions.
Incremental increase based on surrounding height of existing buildings.
