Downtown B-3 Building Height Maximum

The Baxter developer urged the board NOT to raise the height limit, saying developers always build to whatever allowance they're given, warned 90 feet plus bonus density could mean 110-foot buildings, and cited successful downtowns like Charleston and Boulder with 50-foot limits.

A Bogert Park resident criticized the process that raised the cap from 70 to 90 feet, noting the 2019 downtown plan recommended 10-foot stepbacks for buildings over four stories that never made it into the final code, and said newcomers dislike the canyon-like feel of tall walls.
