Ken Fisher responds to Council Member Riley's question, explaining the similarities and differences between the R8X and R8 zoning designations. He focuses on the height limit as the main distinction.
- Both zoning designations have the same Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
- The proposed R8X has a 175-foot height limit, while R8 allows for greater height (up to 230 feet)
- Fisher's team is seeking a modest height increase to 215 feet, not the full 230 feet allowed by R8

The zoning designations are very similar.
2:23:28
The amount of SAR is the same.
2:23:32
The principal distinction is that the proposal from city planning has a 175 foot height limit.
2:23:40
Whereas if we were to do an R 8 x, it would be able to go higher.

think it would actually go as high as 230, but we're not seeking that.
2:23:51
So whether it's done technically through a modification of the RADX or a different zoning designation with some type of limitation in the text, I would leave to your distinguished counsel.

But effectively, that's the only difference.
2:24:08
It's the high limit.
