The Paradise Valley Planning Commission will discuss building pad heights at its next meeting — a topic garnering residential heat.
When vacant non-hillside lots are developed, or existing properties are redeveloped, building pad heights and overall allowable heights are often questioned by neighboring property owners, Paradise Valley town officials say.
The issue is the Town Code does not state where the height of the building pad shall be measured from and is open to interpretation. According to residents, the “interpretations” are allowing for raised-up homes to be built nonconforming with the neighborhood, blocking views or creating other issues.
