The council is expected to endorse the community consultation findings and recommendations of the draft Paul Davies Launceston CBD Building Heights and Massing Study 2018.

The council will then prepare the design guidelines to interpret and support the planning scheme.

The acceptable solution would be reduced to nine-metres high.

A performance criteria for developments 24 metres-high would be created, along with a performance criteria for buildings more than 24 metres.

Areas not subject to controls laid out in the study will remain in their current zonings and control.

A Special Area Plan would also be created to address the changed proposes.

Design guidelines will also be introduced to provide a clear framework for new developments in the city.

"The study also provided building envelopes that directly responds and respects the fabric of Launceston's streetscape, while giving certainty to future development in the central city area," it said.

However, the council knows building height is one piece of the puzzle.

"The study provided the council with a strong starting point to engage directly with the community in regards to future development in Launceston," it said.

"The consultation process provided opportunity for the broader community to share and discuss what is important to development in Launceston."

The meeting will be held at 1pm at Town Hall.
