The Official Height Zoning Map in Appendix B of this Chapter sets forth the plane of maximum height which is the maximum height which shall be permitted at all points in the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning District. Said map and all explanatory material thereon are hereby made a part of this Chapter.

Said plane shall have as a reference point and reference elevation the point in the center of the State Capitol Building, having an elevation of 1,305 feet above sea level elevation, according to the United States Geological Survey or United States Costal and Geodetic Survey. The plane of maximum height shall be formed by two planes beginning at the east-west axis line passing though the reference point and having a constant elevation of 1,305 feet above sea level elevation.

(1) The plane of maximum height for all parts of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning District lying south of the east-west axis shall be a plane having an elevation of 1,305 feet above sea level elevation.

(1) Public sanatoriums, or schools, when permitted in a district, may be erected to a height not exceeding 60 feet, and churches and temples, when permitted, may be erected to a height not exceeding 75 feet, if the building is set back from each property line at least 1 foot for each foot of additional building height above the height limit otherwise provided in the district in which the building is built, provided, however, that no building or structure shall exceed the height limitations set forth in (c) of this Section.

(2) Single-family dwellings and two unit dwellings in the residential districts may be increased in height by not more than 10 feet when 2 side yards of not less 15 feet each are provided, but they shall not exceed 3 stories in height.
