        #commercial# #floor area# to #residential# #floor area#, in #buildings# in each phase, is no smaller than the ratio of the
        minimum amount of #commercial# #floor area# required on the #zoning lot# before #residential use# is allowed, to the
        maximum #residential# #floor area# permitted on the #zoning lot# as specified in Section 93-21 or 93-22, as applicable;

        50,000 square feet are reserved for future development of not more than two million square feet of #commercial# #floor
        area# on each such portion, and that, upon full development of such #zoning lot#, the ratio of #commercial# #floor
        area# to #residential# #floor area# shall be no smaller than the ratio of the minimum amount of #commercial floor#
        #area# required on the #zoning lot# before #residential use# is allowed, to the maximum #residential# #floor area#
        permitted on the #zoning lot#, as specified in Section 93-21 or 93-22, as applicable; and

        #developed# or #enlarged# without the minimum amount of #commercial# #floor area# required before #residential
        use# is allowed, as specified in paragraph (a) of Section 93-21, upon certification that a plan has been submitted whereby
        one or more regularly shaped portions of the #zoning lot# with a minimum area of 35,000 square feet are reserved for
        future development, and that, upon full development of such #zoning lot#, the ratio of #commercial# #floor area# to
        #residential# #floor area# shall be no smaller than the ratio of the minimum amount of #commercial# #floor area#
        required on the #zoning lot# before #residential use# is allowed, to the maximum #residential# #floor area# permitted
        on the #zoning lot#, as specified in Section 93-21.
