B. Height Meets Requirements The maximum height for buildings in the I-Flex District is 45 feet. The proposed addition would have a maximum height of 19 feet—8 inches. C. Setbacks Meets Requirements The minimum setback for principal buildings in the I-Flex District is 50 feet in the front yard, and 20 feet in the rear and side yards. In planned unit developments, the building setbacks from the internal lot lines are less of a concern. The primary concern is the setback measurement from Northwoods Drive and Interstate 694, and the adjacent properties to the west and the east of the property. The proposed addition would meet all setback requirements.
