12. In the R-4 zone, the maximum building height shall 2be limited to 35 feet for that portion of the building 3located within 50 feet from the abutting boundary of, 4or directly across an alley from, land zoned R-1. It 5shall be limited to 50 feet for that portion of the 6building located within 175 feet from land zoned R-3, 7and shall be limited to 75 feet for that portion of the 8building located within 176 feet and 225 feet of land 9zoned R-3. 10Under Ordinance 20418, for R-3-zoned property within this 16-block area, the 30- 11foot high step-up in maximum building height that extends 50 feet into the R-3 zone is 12replaced with a 35-foot high step up that extends 160 feet into the R-3 zone. In other words, 13the step-up is a little higher (35 feet versus 30 feet) and extends farther into the R-3 zone 14(160 feet versus 50 feet). 15Under Ordinance 20418, for R-4 zoned property, 30-foot step-up is replaced with a 16three step-up regime. The first step extends 50 feet into the R-4 zone and is 35 feet high. 17The second step into the R-4 zone (between 50 feet from the R-1 zone and 175 feet from the 18R-1 zone) is 50 feet high. The third step (between 175 feet from the R-1 zone and 225 feet 19from the R-1 zone) is 75 feet high. Within the 16-block area, a building may be built to the 20full 120-foot height allowed by EC Table 9.2750, only if it is more than 225 feet from an 21adjoining R-1 zone. For property that is closer than that to the R-1, buildings must observe 22the lower step-ups in maximum building heights described above. B.Required Off-Street Parking for Multifamily Development (EC Table 23 9.6410) 24 25EC Table 9.6410 sets out off-street parking requirements for uses allowed under the 26EC. One of those uses is multiple family dwellings. Prior to the challenged amendments, 27one parking space per multiple family unit was required by EC Table 9.6410. Ordinance 2820418 amends EC Table 9.6410 to adopt different off-street parking requirements in two 29neighborhoods. That amendment is set out below in the same legislative format that was 30used above for the amendments to EC 9.2751(3): Page 5
