High rise height rules debated and disputed in Scottsdale
Planning Director Bill Walton says no incentive to build tall under current review though applications may arise for ego prestige and economy. Debate centers on 120-foot vs 60-foot compromises with staff insisting 36-foot limits keep most structures below 50 or 60 feet. The council vote may wait until Nov 17 as Mayor Tims seeks parallel 36-foot criteria.
