    Dimensional Table Notes:
    Maximum building height allowances vary depending upon the roof pitch of the structure, with gable roofs having a slope of 7/12 or greater allowed the maximum building height; hip and other sloped roofs with a slope of 4/12 or greater are allowed five feet less than the maximum building height; and flat roofs prohibited except on one-story additions totaling less than 300 square feet per parcel. For the purposes of determining building height, no more than 50% of the roof slope used in the calculation may be altered by dormers and other roof changes.
    Buildings in the floodplain that existed prior to November 6, 2009, may be elevated two feet above BFE or as required by the applicable law, provided that the building complied with building height regulations at the time of its construction.
    The second story must be set back at least two feet from the facade line of the floor below on two of the building's facades, and the second story floor area shall not exceed 80% area of the floor area immediately below it.
    In the Long Beach/Short Beach Neighborhood, to preserve and enhance views of Craigville Beach and the Centerville River, a view corridor shall be preserved using 20 feet of either side setback or, where side yard setbacks are less than 20 feet, the greater of either side yard setback existing on November 6, 2009. The view corridor shall remain free of view-obstructing buildings, structures, site improvements or landscaping other than low-growing plant material or existing natural vegetation for the entire depth of the property from the street to the river or beach.
