Overview
The applicant, OP South Boulevard LLC (Lincoln Properties), during their design development phase, discovered that the height of the proposed building needed to be increased due to a parking garage height increase for handicap accessible van access and floor separation increases. Due to the slight slope in the ground from a high point east to a low point west, the average height, as determined by the Zoning Ordinance, exceeds the approved 135 feet height limit. The southeast corner elevation is exactly 135 feet and increases to the west and north. The request is for an allowable height of 140 feet, even though it is more than they need, provides a comfort level during construction in the event that any issues arise which would require any slight modification in height. It is anticpated that the building will only increase in height by 2 feet and 6 inches.
