In C1 or C2 Districts that are not #select commercial overlays#, in all other #Commercial Districts# and in #Manufacturing
Districts#, the City Planning Commission may permit modifications to #uses# listed under Use Group VIII, as set forth in
Sections 32-18 and 42-18 (Use Group VIII – Recreation, Entertainment and Assembly Spaces), pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section, provided that the findings in paragraph (b) are met.

(a)   For #uses# listed under Use Group VIII, other than those #uses# for which another permit exists pursuant to Section 74-
      18, inclusive, the Commission may permit modifications to a size limitation, denoted in the Use Group table with an “S”,
      beyond any size limitation established by special permit of the Board of Standards and Appeals pursuant to Section 73-
      18, inclusive.

      In conjunction with such size modification, the Commission may permit: modifications to supplementary #use#
      regulations, including enclosure and location within #buildings# provisions; or modifications to additional conditions,
      denoted in the Use Group table with a “P”, including environmental standards, geographic limitations, or other
      measures.
(b)    In order to grant such permit, the Commission shall find that:

      (1)     such #use# will not impair the character or the future use or development of the surrounding area;

      (2)    such #use# will not create or contribute to serious traffic congestion and will not unduly inhibit surface traffic
             and pedestrian flow; and

      (3)     the modifications are necessary to support the operation of such #use#.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area.
