LAST AMENDED
6/6/2024

For a #building# containing a museum listed under Use Group III(B), in an M1-5 District, on a #zoning lot# over which the
High Line (as defined in Section 98-01) passes, the Commission may modify height and setback regulations, provided that such
modifications:

(a)   provide a better distribution of #bulk# on the #zoning lot#;

(b)    result in a better relationship of the #building# to open areas including the High Line, adjacent #streets# and
       surrounding properties;

(c)   provide adequate light and air for #buildings# on the #zoning lot# and do not adversely affect adjacent #zoning lots# by
      unduly restricting access to light and air to surrounding #streets# and properties; and

(d)    result in a #building# containing a museum #use# that facilitates the public’s use and enjoyment of the High Line.

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