LAST AMENDED
6/6/2024

In #Special Enhanced Commercial District Districts# 2 and 3, the City Planning Commission may authorize a modification of
the maximum #street wall# width of non-#residential# establishments, as set forth in Section 132-21, provided the Commission
finds that:

(a)    such additional frontage space is required for the operation of such proposed #use#, and such #use# cannot be reasonably
       configured within the permitted #street wall# width; or

(b)    a high ground floor vacancy rate exists within a reasonable distance of the proposed #use#, and such high vacancy rate is a
       consequence of adverse market conditions.

The land use application for an authorization pursuant to this Section shall be sent to the applicable Community Board. If the
Community Board elects to comment on such application, it must be done within 30 days of receipt of such application. The
Chairperson will not act on such application until the Community Board’s comments have been received, or the 30-day
comment period has expired, whichever is earlier.
