I think the document need to be very specific about exactly how tall a taller building may be, and how many tall buildings will be allowed (no e.g.). Without specificity, a developer can interpret this however they want, and we end up with a Marque on our corner. I think 4 stories should be the absolute maximum. The older taller buildings have variable roof pitches. Modern buildings are square boxes that look taller than they are. So 5 stories look more like 7.
