17.70.020 Height limitations.
The height limitations in Table 17.70.1 shall not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas, penthouses, and domes not used for human occupancy; nor to chimneys, ventilators, flagpoles, skylights, water tanks, bulkheads, similar features, and necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level. Such features, however, shall be erected only to such height as is necessary to accomplish the purpose they are to serve. Nor shall the provisions of this code apply to prevent the erection above the building height limit of a parapet wall or cornice for ornament (and without windows) extending above such height limit not more than five feet. (Ord. 536 § 1 (§ 14.02), 2000)
17.70.030 Projecting architectural features.
(1) The space in any required yard shall be open and unobstructed except for ordinary projections of window sills, belt courses, cornices, eaves, and other architectural features; provided, however, that such features shall not project more than three feet into any required yard, as long as other separation requirements of the IBC are met.
(2) Patio Roofs. Patio areas may be roofed for shade and other purposes provided such roof area does not exceed 30 percent of the yard area in which it is located. (Ord. 536 § 1 (§ 14.03), 2000)
17.70.040 Visibility at intersections.
On a corner lot in any residential district no fence, wall, hedge, or other structure or planting more than two feet in height shall be erected, placed or maintained within the triangular area formed by the intersecting curb lines and a straight line joining said street curb lines at points which are 30 feet distant from the point of intersection, measured along said street lines. (Ord. 536 § 1 (§ 14.04), 2000)
