So at the max, you're looking at ~70 ft., just short of a "high-rise" by definition.

From that equation, I'm adding 18" maximum for HVAC ducts and raceways and the 2x12 or TJI that are needed to span the floor between each floor including the roof, the slope of the site and the design of the roof that sounds like that will inch out at 75' just so they can add the high rise fees.
