(a)    As-of-right provisions
        The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall apply to #zoning lots# with a #lot area# greater than 30,000 square feet, and which contain #schools# constructed in whole or in part pursuant to an
        agreement with the New York City School Construction Authority and subject to the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Education.

        On such #zoning lots#, up to 60,000 square feet of floor space within such #school# or, in Subarea D4 up to 100,000 square feet of floor space within such #school#, shall be exempt from the
        definition of #floor area#.

(b)    Special permit provisions

        In #Manufacturing Districts# within Subareas B1 or B2, the Board of Standards and Appeals may permit the allowable #community facility# #floor area ratio# for #schools# to be increased to 4.8,
        provided that the Board finds that the distribution of #bulk# on the #zoning lot# will not unduly obstruct the access to light and air in and to adjoining properties or public #streets#, and will result
        in satisfactory site planning and satisfactory urban design relationships of #buildings# to adjacent #streets# and the surrounding area. The Board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards
        to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area.
