NEIGHBORHOOD SETBACKS “In terms of setbacks, buildings should align approximately 30 feet from the curb or should be located in line with the prevalent setback on the block face on all local streets except 16th Street North, North Rhodes Street, Clarendon Boulevard and Fairfax Drive.” - Fort Myer Heights North Plan pg. 37
“To distinguish 16th Street North and North Rhodes Street as primary streets in this neighborhood, slightly wider tree planting strips are recommended, which may necessitate buildings being further set back from the curb.” -Fort Myer Heights North Plan pg. 37

FAIRFAX STEPBACKS “Building heights should taper within the neighborhood in accordance with the Heights Plan and should also taper within blocks. Step-backs will help to create an appropriate pedestrian scale and ensure that new buildings relate and transition to the lower-scale historic buildings. Appropriate tapering and step-backs should be determined on a block-by-block basis with input from County staff, the Planning Commission and the Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board.” - Fort Myer Heights North Plan pg. 32
“Step-backs along Fairfax Drive should be at least 15 feet starting at the fourth floor.” -Fort Myer Heights North Plan pg. 59
