It's in the backup of today's agenda. it is a map that shows all of Northwest 36th Street and it shows that area that is the buffer for residential so you guys remember that the Northwest 36th Street district currently has height restrictions as part of the zoning there and it is basically ANYWHERE WITHIN 150 FEET OF RESIDENTIAL, WHICH ON THE MAP THAT'S…”

THAT'S WHY YOU CREATE DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS. It has always had its own character because of its location in the southeast part of the city Abutting a major thoroughfare right across the street from the airport. It's always had its own character And that district has its own zoning as it relates to how high Buildings can be built FOUR STORIES WITHIN 150 FEET OF RESIDENTIAL, 12 STORIES BEYOND THAT. THAT IS…”
