#Residential# and #community facility# #bulk# regulations otherwise applicable in R10 Districts are modified to the extent set

The regulations otherwise applicable in R10 Districts are superseded by the regulations set forth in Sections 84-131 (Floor area
regulations), 84-132 (Mandatory front building walls), 84-133 (Front wall recess), 84-134 (Mandatory arcades) and 84-135

Developments) and Chapter 9 (Special Regulations Applying to Large-scale Community Facility Developments), are not
applicable.

The provisions of Section 23-371 (Distance in between buildings) may be modified by the Battery Park City Authority. Prior to
the granting of any such modification, the Authority shall make the following findings:

(a)    that such modification will aid in achieving the general purpose and intent of the #Special Battery Park City District#, as
        set forth in Section 84-01;

(b)    that such modification will not unduly increase the #bulk# of #buildings#, the density of population or the intensity of
        #use# on any #zoning lot# to the detriment of the occupants of #buildings# on such #zoning lot# or nearby #zoning
        lots# ;
(c)    that such modification will not adversely affect the #buildings# on the #zoning lot# or nearby #zoning lots# by restricting
        access to light and air; and

(d)    that if an open area is provided, at any level, between two #buildings#, it shall have a width of not less than eight feet.
