"massing refers to the issue of homes being built or renovated that are larger than surrounding houses and may be out of character with a neighborhood." that's more or less codespeak for "monster house". nutshell: no formal height restrictions, but this nonsense about building up the grade so that a two story house is still 8 feet taller than everyone else in the neighborhood has been put to rest. hooray for that.
