LAST AMENDED
7/20/2017


No #public plaza#, or portion thereof, shall be located within 175 feet of an existing #publicly accessible open area# or #public
park# as measured along the #street line# on which the existing amenity fronts if the #public plaza# is to be located on the same
side of the #street#, or as measured along the directly opposite #street line# if the #public plaza# is to be located on the other side
of the #street#. Such distance shall include the width of any #street# that intersects the #street# on which the amenity fronts.
However, such location restriction may be waived if the #public plaza# is located directly across the #street# from the existing
#publicly accessible open area# or #public park# and if the Chairperson of the City Planning Commission finds that the
location of the #public plaza# at such location would create or contribute to a pedestrian circulation network connecting the
two or more open areas.

Additional provisions regarding the location of a #public plaza# are set forth in the #Special Midtown District#, the #Special
Lower Manhattan District# and the #Special Downtown Brooklyn District#.
