The City Planning Commission, on application after public notice and hearing, may authorize the addition of all or any portion
of the #development rights# from a #granting lot# to the permitted #floor area# of a #receiving lot#, provided that:

        permitted by Section 94-092 (Maximum floor area ratio);

(b)    the #development# shall aid in achieving the general purposes and intent of this Chapter as set forth in Section 94-00
        (GENERAL PURPOSES);

(c)    the design of the #development# shall not impair the character of the surrounding area or its future development;

(d)    the distribution of the #bulk# on the #receiving lot# permits adequate access of light and air to surrounding #streets# and
        properties;

(e)    the traffic created by the #development# will not create or contribute to serious traffic congestion and will make
        adequate provisions for unconstrained pedestrian circulation; and

(f)   the requirements set forth in Sections 94-093 (Transfer of development rights from granting lots), 94-12 (Recordation)
       and 94-13 (Certification) are satisfied.
