To promote taller ground floor ceilings for commercial and active uses, improve light and air in ground-level spaces, and allow ground floor residential units to be slightly elevated for privacy and usable stoops, buildings located along major streets in NCT and designated areas of NC-1, NC-2, and NC-3 districts may exceed the height limit by up to 5 feet, provided they include either higher ceilings for non-residential spaces or walk-up residential units raised above sidewalk level.

Building height is measured from the centerline of the building. If the building steps laterally along a street, separate measurements are taken from the centerline of each step. For flat roofs, height is measured to the highest point of the finished roof, while for pitched or stepped roofs, it is measured to the average height of the rise.
