Height Option	Development Standards	Location
Reverse shed	Provide a front facade wall that is 30 feet tall along the entire length of the building, and slope the roof down toward the rear of the building. The high front edge of the shed roof may extend beyond the front facade, to provide weather protection and/or a covered entry.	Development standards apply to the facade of the new or existing building which faces the primary frontage. “Primary frontage” is defined in Table 16.24-050-1, Section E.
Equivalent Height Facade Extension	For new buildings: Measure an angle from the centerline of the primary street (or through connection) to a point 30 feet above the maximum permitted setback. The front facade of the building may be as high as any point along the line of the angle between the maximum and minimum setback.
Equivalent Height Facade Extension	For existing buildings: Measure an angle from the centerline of the primary street (or through connection) to a point 30 feet above the existing building wall. The front facade of the building may be as high as any point along the line of the angle between the existing building facade location and the minimum setback.
Cupola	Provide a 30-foot-tall portion of the building for a minimum of 25% of the length of the front facade. It shall include the front facade wall and extend a minimum of 10 feet behind the front wall.
False front	Provide a front facade wall that is 30 feet tall along the entire length of the building.
