Ordinance NS-2649 Page 44 of 52 Section 7-4-e-iii of this ordinance shall be submitted to and be approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of any building permits. a. General Requirements I. The office tower shall remain consistent with the approved site plan as shown in Exhibit 1. b. Building Setbacks Setbacks at ground level are established to enhance pedestrian space throughout the district, create compatible relationships between existing and future building street elevations and recognize opportunities to create new open space resources, such as plazas, pedestrian ways and landscaped areas. The front yard is one of the most important characteristics of Broadway and maintenance of these landscaped open spaces is crucial to preserving the streetscape. Major setback conditions are discussed below by street: i. Broadway: The One Broadway Plaza office tower shall maintain a building setback of 20 feet. This setback area may include hardscape as shown on the approved plaza plan. For existing buildings, a setback of 20 feet shall be maintained. The existing structure at 1111 North Broadway shall maintain a minimum setback of 15 feet. ii. Tenth Street: A 12-foot building setback shall be required for the office tower. Hardscape, landscape and water features shall be provided in the required setback as shown on the applicant's Landscape Plan dated February 4, 2004 (Exhibit 2). iii. Washington Avenue: The 15-foot landscaped setback for the existing structure shall be maintained. c. Building Height The approved height for the office tower is approximately 493 feel. Modifications to the tower's approved building height or number of stories, which represent either an increase or decrease, shall not be allowed. The existing buildings along Broadway shall maintain their existing height and shall not exceed 35 feel. u
