Nonresidential Building Height Procedures
For nonresidential properties in the Rural Residential (RR-20) district, the specific maximum building height is not fixed. Instead, the building height must be established in compliance with requirements specified by the development permit. If a permit is not required, or if the permit does not regulate building height, the regulations of the abutting zoning district will apply to each adjacent portion of the property [Section 18.30.030].
