The City Planning Commission may permit the allowances in paragraph (a) provided that the findings in paragraph (b) are met,

(a)    The Commission may permit:

       (1)    in #Commercial Districts# or #Manufacturing Districts# where the maximum #floor area ratio# for non-
              #residential uses# is 15.0 or greater, a transfer of development rights pursuant to Section 75-42 (Transfer of
              Development Rights From Landmarks) that exceeds the maximum #floor area# allowable on such #zoning lot# by
              more than 30 percent; or

       (2)    in all districts, for #developments# or #enlargements#, #bulk# modifications, other than #floor area ratio#, to be
              made in conjunction with a transfer of development rights pursuant to Section 75-42.

(b)    In order to grant such special permit, the Commission shall find that:
       (1)    the proposed modifications will not unduly obstruct access to light and air to adjoining properties or #streets#;
              and

       (2)    the proposed scale and placement of the #development# or #enlargement# relates harmoniously with the
              surrounding area.

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