In all #Residence Districts#, except R1 and R2 Districts, and except within Community District 1 in the Borough of Brooklyn, where the certification
provisions of Section 62-813 (Docking facilities for ferries or water taxis in certain waterfront areas) shall apply, the City Planning Commission may
permit docks for ferries or water taxis as listed in Use Group IV(B), provided that:

(a)    such facility will not create serious pedestrian or vehicular traffic congestion that would adversely affect surrounding residential #streets#;

(b)    such #use# is so located as to draw a minimum of vehicular traffic to and through local #streets# in the adjoining residential area;

(c)    there is appropriate landscaping along #lot lines# to enable such #use# to blend harmoniously with the adjoining residential area;

(d)    #accessory# off-street parking spaces are provided in accordance with Section 62-43 (Parking Requirements for Commercial Docking Facilities)
       and the entrances and exits for such #accessory# parking facilities are so located as to not adversely affect #residential# properties fronting on the
       same #street#; and

(e)    such #use# will not impair the character or the future use or development of the surrounding residential area.

The Commission may prescribe additional appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area
and to protect #residential# properties which are adjoining or across the #street# from the facility. Such additional conditions and safeguards may include
provisions for temporary parking of vehicles for passenger drop-off and pick-up, additional #accessory# off-street parking spaces and limitations on
lighting and signage.
