. , � , <br /> Building height means the vertical distance between the highest adjoining ground <br /> level at the building or ten feet above the lowest ground level, whichever is lower, <br /> and the top of the cornice of a flat roof, or the deck line of a mansard roof, or the <br /> uppermost point on a round or other arch-type roof, or the median height of the <br /> highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof. Topographic changes which elevate the <br /> adjoining ground level above the existing terrain shall not be considered in <br /> determining building height. For a pitched or hipped roof situation, regardless <br /> whether the highest living space in a building is a half-story or full story, if the <br /> highest living space contains windows (excluding skylights) the upper measuring <br /> point for defining building height shall be the median height of the top of the <br /> highest window and the highest peak of the roof. <br />
