The Traffic Impact Analysis shall be approved by the City Planning Commission Executive Director after consultation with the Department of Public Works Director.
18.24.D.6 Maximum Building Height
a. In lieu of the base zoning district regulations, maximum building height shall be established by Table 18-3.

Figure 18-7 is shown with corresponding height limits for reference; however, Table 18-3 shall control.
b. In squares along Tchoupitoulas Street, the maximum building height of Table 18-3 shall be achieved by line-of-sight from the opposite side of Tchoupitoulas Street methodology established in Figure 18-8 over the base zoning district’s 85 ft. height limit.
