12/5/2024


In order to conform with the existing scale and character of the Preservation Subdistrict, any #zoning lot# located in the underlying C5-P
District shall be limited to a maximum #floor area ratio# of 8.0, except where #qualifying affordable housing# or #qualifying senior
housing# is provided or where a #floor area# bonus is granted pursuant to Section 66-51 (Additional Floor Area for Mass Transit Station
Improvements).

For all purposes other than as set forth in this Section, the R10 District regulations shall apply to any portion of a #building# containing
#residential uses#.

Mandatory #street walls# are required as follows:

        The #street wall# of any #building# shall be located on the #street line# and shall extend along the full length of the #front lot line#
        to a minimum height of 72 feet above the #curb level#, or the full height of 72 feet above the #curb level#, or the full height of the
        #building#, whichever is less. Above a height of 85 feet, the #street wall# shall be set back at least 15 feet from the #street line# and
        shall be subject to the #sky exposure plane# regulations of Section 33-432 (In other Commercial Districts) applicable in C5
        Districts. The provisions of Sections 33-44 (Alternate Front Setbacks) and 33-45 (Tower Regulations) are not applicable in the
        Preservation Subdistrict.

        On application, the City Planning Commission may grant special authorization for minor modifications of the mandatory #street
        wall# provisions of this Section as applied to an #enlargement#, upon the applicant's showing of compelling necessity. Such
        authorization, however, may in no event include modification of permitted #floor area# regulations.

For #qualifying affordable housing# or #qualifying senior housing#, the height and setback provisions of Section 81-25 (General Provisions
Relating to Height and Setback of Buildings) shall apply as alternate regulations to the provisions of this Section.
