  • In order to minimize the impact of shadowing and wind currents upon Nicollet Mall, and to maintain pedestrian scale and character, portions of buildings over ten (10) stories or one hundred forty (140) feet, whichever is less, that comprise more than two hundred (200) feet of frontage on Nicollet Mall shall be set back from Nicollet Mall not less than thirty (30) feet. Such setback shall begin no lower than the third (3rd) story or forty-two (42) feet, whichever is less, and no higher than the tenth (10th) story or one hundred forty (140) feet, whichever is less.
