SECTION 1101.13 RULES OF MEASUREMENT AND CALCULATION A. Height Measurement i. Building height is measured as the distance between a horizontal line at the average existing predevelopment grade of the lot directly beside the structure, and the highest point of the coping of a flat roof, the top of a mansard roof, the midpoint of any pitched gable, hip or the upper portion of a gambrel roof, or measured between the top floor ceiling and the peak of the roof on an “A” framed structure. Chimneys, elevators, poles, spires, tanks, towers, and other projections not used for human occupancy are not included in calculating height and may extend above the height limit. 11
