12/5/2024


For #zoning lots#, or portions thereof, within 100 feet of #street lines# along the elevated rail structure on Jerome or River
Avenues, and located outside Subdistrict A, the underlying height and setback provisions are modified by the provisions of this
Section.

(a)    #Street wall# location

       The #street wall# location provisions of paragraph (a)(1) of Section 35-643 shall apply.

       Any open space between a #street wall# and a #street line# along the elevated rail structure on Jerome or River Avenues
       shall comply with the special open space provisions of paragraph (a) of Section 141-33.

(b)    Base heights, maximum #building# heights

       The underlying height and setback provisions of Section 35-63 (Height and Setback Requirements in Commercial
       Districts with R6 Through R12 Equivalency), inclusive, shall apply, as modified by the provisions of paragraph (a) of
       Section 35-643 (Special provisions in other geographies). However, for #street walls# facing the elevated rail structure,
       beyond 75 feet of the corner of #streets# intersecting Jerome or River Avenues, the maximum base height shall be 30 feet.

(c)    Required and permitted articulation
      For #street walls# fronting the elevated rail structure on Jerome or River Avenues with widths exceeding 100 feet, a
      minimum of 20 percent of the surface area of such #street walls# above the level of the second #story#, or a height of 30
      feet, whichever is lower, shall either recess or project a minimum of three feet from the remaining surface of the #street
      wall#. Any such projections shall be considered a permitted obstruction into a required setback, and the depth of such
      projections along the elevated rail structure shall not exceed three feet.

      In addition, the underlying dormer provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 23-413 (Permitted obstructions in certain
      districts) shall be modified for portions of #buildings# facing the elevated rail structure, so that above the maximum base
      height set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section, dormers shall be permitted only within 75 feet of a corner.
