Notwithstanding the maximum building height specified in subsection A above, no building constructed in this zone after the effective date of the ordinance enacting this chapter shall exceed a height of 45 feet unless the project qualifies as a Community Benefit Project or a Community Benefit Housing Project, and the Planning Commission expressly makes all of the following findings:
1. 
Demonstrated Need. The applicant has adequately demonstrated a need for the project to exceed 45 feet in building height that is related to the project's benefit to the community, or due to site constraints, or in order to achieve desired architectural qualities;
2. 
Architecture and Design. The project will be exemplary in its design;
3. 
Livability. If the project includes residential units, the project will provide amenities to its residents which ensure the livability of the project with particular attention to good interior design features such as the amount of light and air, or ceiling plate heights;
4. 
Sensitivity to Context. The project design will complement the setting and the character of the neighboring properties with sensitivity to any adjacent federal, state, and City Landmarks or any nearby designated Historic Resources, including City-designated Structures of Merit.
C. 
Buildings Adjacent to Residential Zones. The building height of a building which will be immediately adjacent to a residential zone shall not exceed the height allowed in the most restrictive adjacent residential zone for that part of the structure constructed within a distance of 30 feet or one-half the height of the proposed structure, whichever is less, provided, however, a project which qualifies as a Community Benefit Project or a Community Benefit Housing Project under subsection B above need not comply with this requirement.
D. 
Timing and Procedure for Projects Requiring the Planning Commission Building Height Findings.
1. 
Conceptual Design Review. Prior to the Planning Commission considering an application for a Community Benefit Project or a Community Benefit Housing Project pursuant to this section, a project shall receive conceptual design review by the Historic Landmarks Commission or the Architectural Board of Review as required by Title 22.
2. 
Planning Commission Consideration of Findings.

b. 
Staff Hearing Officer Projects. If a project requires the review and approval of a land use permit by the Staff Hearing Officer, the Planning Commission shall review and consider the building height findings after conceptual design review pursuant to Title 22, but before the preparation of a full application for the consideration of the land use permit by the Staff Hearing Officer.
c. 
Planning Commission Projects. If a project requires the review and approval of a land use permit by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall review and consider the building height findings after conceptual design review pursuant to Title 22, but before the preparation of a full application for review by the Development Application Review Team (DART) and before the consideration of the land use permit by the Planning Commission.
d. 
Appeals from the Planning Commission Determination. A decision of the Planning Commission regarding the building height findings is appealable to the City Council pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1.30 of this code.
