In the districts indicated, the following additional regulations shall apply:

(a)    Existing buildings may be vertically #enlarged# by up to one story or 15 feet without regard to the #street wall# location
       requirements of Section 23-431.

(b)    On #through lots# which extend less than 190 feet in maximum depth from #street# to #street#, the #street wall#
       location requirements of Section 23-431 shall be mandatory along only one #street# frontage.

(c)    On #corner lots#, or portions thereof, the #street wall# location requirements of Section 23-431 shall be mandatory along
       only one #street# frontage. Where one of the #street# frontages bounding the #corner lot# is a #wide street# and the
       other a #narrow street#, the #street wall# location rules shall be applied along the #wide street# frontage;

(d)    The #street wall# location and minimum base height provisions of Sections 23-431 and 23-432, respectively, shall not
       apply along any street frontage of a #zoning lot# occupied by buildings whose #street wall# heights or widths will remain
       unaltered.

(e)    The minimum base height provisions of Section 23-432 shall not apply to #buildings#, or portions thereof, that are
       #developed# or #enlarged# and do not exceed such minimum base heights.

(f)    For any zoning lot located in a Historic District designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the #street wall#
       location and minimum or maximum base height regulations of Section 23-43, inclusive, or as modified in any applicable
       Special District, may be modified as follows:

       (1)    The minimum base height of a #street wall# may vary between the applicable minimum set forth in Section 23-
              432, and the height of the #street wall# of an adjacent #building# before setback, if such height is lower than the
              minimum base height; and

       (2)    The maximum base height of a #street wall# may vary between the applicable maximum set forth in Section 23-
              432, inclusive, and the height of the #street wall# of adjacent #building# before setback, if such height is higher
              than the maximum base height.

(g)    Where a continuous sidewalk widening is provided on the #zoning lot#, along the entire #block# frontage of a #street#,
       the boundary of the sidewalk widening shall be considered to be the #street line# for the purposes of applying the
       provisions of Section 23-431, but such widening may be included in the setback reductions permitted pursuant to
       paragraph (a) of Section 23-433.
