128-60 - SPECIAL APPROVALS

LAST AMENDED
10/30/2013


The special permit for North Waterfront sites set forth in Section 128-61 is established in order to guide and encourage
appropriate #use# and #development# in a unique location within the #Special St. George District# that serves as a gateway
between Staten Island and Manhattan for both visitors and daily commuters. Redevelopment of the North Waterfront sites
pursuant to this special permit provides an appropriate means to address the special characteristics of these sites, while
accommodating their continuing transportation function, as part of their transformation into a regional destination that will
contribute to the revitalization of the #Special St. George District# and surrounding area.

The special permit for #buildings# in R7-3 Districts set forth in Section 128-62 is established to allow modification of #bulk#
regulations and mandatory improvements, except #floor area ratio# provisions, in order to encourage better site planning, and
streetscapes that are consistent with the goals of the Special District.
