In R1 and R2 Districts, and in C1 and C2 Districts mapped within such #Residence Districts# for any #development#,
#extension# or #enlargement# or change of #use# involving any #community facility uses# listed in Use Group III permitted as-
of-right pursuant to the provisions of Sections 22-13, or #long-term care facilities# for which a special permit has been granted
pursuant to Section 74-131, the City Planning Commission may permit the allowable #community facility# #floor area ratio#
and #lot coverage# of Section 24-11 (Maximum Floor Area Ratio and Percentage of Lot Coverage) to apply to all such #uses#,
provided that the following findings are made:

(a)    that the distribution of #bulk# on the #zoning lot# will not unduly obstruct the access of light and air in and to adjoining
        properties or public #streets#, and will result in satisfactory site planning and satisfactory urban design relationships of
        #buildings# to adjacent #streets# and the surrounding area;

(b)    that the architectural and landscaping treatment and the height of the proposed #building# containing such #uses#
        blends harmoniously with the topography and the surrounding area;

(c)    that the proposed facility will not require any significant additions to the supporting services of the neighborhood or that
        provision for adequate supporting services has been made; and

(d)    that the #streets# providing access to such #use# are adequate to handle the traffic generated thereby or provision has
        been made to handle such traffic.

The Commission may request a report from appropriate governmental agencies with respect to #community facility uses#
requesting a special permit under this Section.

To minimize traffic congestion in the area, the Commission may require where necessary off-street parking facilities and
#accessory# off-street loading berths beyond the amount required by the district regulations.

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