Members Present Voting Aye Voting Nay Abstain Respectfully submitted: Chairman Rev. 9/98 CITY OF FAIRHOPE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COVER SHEET 12 December, 2000 ZC 00-18 Public Hearing to Consider a New Definition for Building Height in the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission directed staff to research the issue of how other communities define building height. Staff conducted the research and provided it to the Commission. After further consideration by the Commission staff was directed to prepare an Ordinance that changes how we measure buildings. The EXISTING building height definition is as follows: The vertical distance measured from the average elevation of the proposed finished grade at the front of the building to the highest point of the roof for flat roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs, and the mean height between the eaves and ridge for gable, hip and gambrel roofs. As you can determine, how we measure is based on the roof type. The PROPOSED new building height definition is as follows: The vertical distance measured from the average natural elevation of the lot at the front of the building to the highest point of the roof. This definition is more straight forward and provides the same basis of measurement regardless of roof type. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve ZC 00.18 as presented.
