LAST AMENDED
12/5/2024

For #developments# or #enlargements# containing only #qualifying affordable housing# or #qualifying senior housing#
#income-restricted housing units#, #affordable independent residences for seniors#, or other government-assisted #dwelling
units#, the City Planning Commission may authorize modifications of:

(a)   #yard# regulations;

(b)    regulations governing the minimum required distance between #buildings# on the same #zoning lot#, provided that no
        waiver shall authorize a minimum distance of less than 40 feet; and

(c)   regulations governing the minimum required distance between #legally required windows# and walls or #lot lines#.

The Commission shall find that such modifications:

(1)    will aid in achieving the general purposes and intent of this Chapter as set forth in Section 136-00 (GENERAL
       PURPOSES);

(2)    will provide a better distribution of #bulk# on the #zoning lot#, resulting in a superior site plan, in which the #buildings#
       subject to this authorization and any associated open areas will relate harmoniously with one another and with adjacent
       #buildings# and open areas; and

(3)    will not unduly increase the #bulk# of any #building# or unduly obstruct access of adequate light and air to the
       detriment of the occupants or users of #buildings# on the #block# or nearby #blocks#, or of people using the public
       #streets# and other public spaces.

The City Planning Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the
character of the surrounding area.
