The regulations of Article I, Chapter 3 (Comprehensive Off-street Parking and Loading Regulations in the Manhattan Core)
and the applicable underlying district regulations of Article III, Chapter 6, relating to Off-street Loading Regulations, shall
apply in the #Special Lincoln Square District# except as otherwise provided in this Section. In addition, the entrances and exits
to all off-street loading berths shall not be located on a #wide street# except by authorization as set forth in this Section.

(a)    #Accessory# off-street parking spaces

        #Accessory# off-street parking spaces are permitted only by the applicable special permit of the City Planning
        Commission pursuant to Section 13-45 (Special Permits for Additional Parking Spaces), inclusive.

(b)    Curb cuts

        The City Planning Commission may authorize curb cuts within 50 feet of the intersection of any two #street lines#, or
        on #wide streets# where such curb cuts are needed for off-street loading berths, provided the location of such curb cuts
        meets the findings in Section 13-441.

(c)    Waiver of loading berth requirements

        The City Planning Commission may authorize a waiver of the required off-street loading berths where the location of
        the required curb cuts would:

        (1)    be hazardous to traffic safety;

        (2)    create or contribute to serious traffic congestion or unduly inhibit vehicular and pedestrian movement; or

        (3)    interfere with the efficient functioning of bus lanes, specially designated streets or public transit facilities.

The Commission shall refer these applications to the Department of Transportation for its comments.
