height development
Explanation:
The height of new buildings is often regulated by zoning plans/laws.

cf:

Redevelopment Agency staff recommends that the City Council, pursuant to the exception set forth in Section 20.28.620 of the Zoning Ordinance, authorize Wolff DiNapoli to exceed the maximum floor area ratio (FAR), number of stories and height development standards of the CG Zoning District within the Central Downtown to accommodate a nine (9) story hotel (Courtyard by Marriott) of approximately 159,412 square feet, with a maximum height of approximately 114 feet above grade, at the southeast corner of Guadalupe Parkway and West Santa Clara Street on a 0.75 acre site.

http://www.ci.san-jose.ca.us/cty_clk/5_1_01docs/4.5.htm

The Surface Artery template as it exists does not specify what will reside on the 7 acres slated for medium-height development.
http://www.boston.com/beyond_bigdig/news/artery_120699.htm

Today, the city will begin a process that seeks to make everything clearer when it holds a forum on proposed changes to its Historic District Height Development Map. The map is one section of a broader development manual adopted six years ago that regulates everything from window spacing to the type of railing that can be used in Historic District buildings. [...] The proposed changes to the height map generally decrease the size of downtown buildings, providing better transitions to abutting residential neighborhoods.

It concentrates on six areas: near Johnson Square, Factors' Walk, the northeastern corner of the district, East Broad Street, Montgomery Street, and between West Boundary Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, large sections of which are without any height restrictions whatsoever.

Elevator Engineering


Explanation:
Hohen = Height
Entwicklung = Development -> Engineering

Since this is a building project it seems likely to do with setting up elevator service.

So there must be something in that particular fire hazard classification that relates to the construction height of a building, such as for instance the materials used.

Elevation Engineering


Explanation:
Elevation is a more appropriate term than height for a tall building. Engineering is more fitting than development when designing a specific single project according to a specific code.
