In evaluating the Site Plan, the following design guidelines should be considered: 1. Setbacks. The required streetside setbacks for any ' arterial or collector street should be increased by one (1) foot for each one (1) foot of building height in excess of 35 feet. The required streetside setback for any local street or any interior setback should be increased by one- half (1/2) foot for each one (1) foot of building height in excess of 35 feet. .- In order to encourage variation in setbacks and building heights, these increased setbacks shall apply only to building elements exceeding 35 feet.
