To accomplish the intensity and scale of <br />development consistent with the defined purpose of the GB District, <br />multi -story buildings will be encouraged. <br />1. Building height will be regulated only as it affects the safety of <br />occupants, compatibility with other uses and buildings, and other City <br />and District requirements. <br />2. The use of stepped building heights is encouraged to provide visual <br />transition. This applies to both multi -building complexes and single <br />buildings. <br />3. The location of buildings relative to their heights will consider <br />views and relationship from within the GB District and from public <br />and private areas off the site. <br />4. Minimum building setback requirements are fifty (50) feet from all <br />streets and exterior project property lines and twenty (20) from all <br />interior property lines, except that interior lot line setback <br />requirements may be modified by the city in the project review process <br />if specific conditions of the project plan justify modification. <br />C. Landscaping. Appropriate and unified landscaping is essential to <br />effectively meet the defined purpose of the GB District. <br />Section 1320 & 1325 — Regarding Landscape Requirements <br />Adopted: April 28, 2008 <br />Page 15 of 31 <br />
