Landmark Sites

LAST AMENDED
12/5/2024

In all districts, for #developments# or #enlargements#, the City Planning Commission may authorize #bulk# modifications,
other than #floor area ratio#, to be made in conjunction with a transfer of development rights from landmark #buildings or
other structures# certified pursuant to Section 75-42 (Transfer of Development Rights From Landmarks), provided the
Commission determines that the conditions and limitations set forth in paragraph (a) and the findings set forth in paragraph (b)
of this Section are met:

(a)   Conditions and limitations

       Where maximum #building# height limitations apply, modifications to the maximum permitted #building# height shall
       not result in an increase that exceeds 25 percent of the maximum #building# height as set forth in applicable district
       regulations.

(b)    Findings

       The Commission shall find that:
       (1)    the proposed modifications will not unduly obstruct access to light and air to adjoining properties or #streets#;

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

       (3)    the requested modification is the least amount necessary to reasonably accommodate such transferred
              development rights.

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