R4B Zone Potential Addition

Hi I was just curious to find out if anyone knew how strict the maximum building height of 24′ was? I’ve found a piece of property I’m really interested in purchasing but I’d want to add a 3rd floor but from everything I’m reading it looks like that’s next to impossible. Should I even bother keeping this property on my potential list or is getting a variance for something like this never really going to happen?

The answer depends upon the type of construction (fireproof vs non fireproof), how much existing floor area there is and other factors. Very likely you’ll have to install a sprinkler system. To get a proper answer, have an architect or engineer to do a zoning analysis.
