Lot Area. Each lot shall have a minimum of seven thousand five hundred square feet.
(C)
Building Height Standards.
(1)
The maximum height of any building (per the building height definition In Municipal Code Section 25.08.016) shall not exceed thirty-six feet, including parking garage floor levels with access ramps located outside the structure's ground floor footprint.

Per the building height definition, subterranean floors are exempt from the height measurement limit.
(D)
Yards.

Said yard may be used only for landscaped buffer zones as approved by design review.
(E)
Coverage and Open Land Area. Natural slopes of fifty percent or greater shall be left open and maintained with natural landscaping.

Loading space being maintained in connection with any structure, on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, shall thereafter be maintained so long as the structure remains in a use requiring such loading space under the terms of this title, unless equivalent loading space approved by the city is provided; provided, however, that this regulation shall not require the maintenance of more loading space than is required for a new structure;
(c)
Each loading space required herein shall consist of a paved area no less than ten feet by forty feet with a clear height of fourteen feet and so located and maintained that there shall be at all times a usable way of vehicular ingress and egress to such space or spaces;
