City Council Hearing Draft Code Amendments <br />Summary <br />9 <br />Transitions <br />The existing Daylight Plane requirements for all districts except <br />the DA and SA Districts are unchanged. In the SA District, the <br />applicability of the Daylight Plane requirement is proposed to <br />be modified to apply when adjacent to a lower-scaled <br />residential district (RS or RD district). As currently written, the <br />Daylight Plane requirement applies to the adjacency of the SA <br />District to any residential district, including RM districts which <br />have similar height allowances (within 10 feet). <br />The Daylight Plane requirement for the DA and SA Districts are proposed to be modified to <br />increase the height from which the daylight plane starts from eight feet to 15 feet and to <br />provide a termination point of the daylight plane 20 feet from the subject RS or RD District <br />boundary line. This daylight plane requirement, combined with setback and landscape buffer <br />requirements, provide a transition between higher- and lower-scaled residential districts so <br />that new development reflects the scale of, and provide a buffer to, adjacent development <br />along the transition area, without reducing the allowable development across the entire <br />property. <br />Proposed Daylight Plane Requirements, DA and SA Districts <br />Relevant Section <br />2.08.308.F.
