§ 16-06 Previously Approved Special Permits or Authorizations

ZR § 16-06

Any authorization or special permit relating to parking regulations in the Long Island City area granted by the City Planning Commission or Board of Standards and Appeals prior to October 25, 1995, may be started or continued, in accordance with the terms thereof, or as such terms may subsequently be modified, pursuant to the regulations in effect at the time such authorization or special permit was granted. However, any special permit granted for a parking facility in the Long Island City area by the Commission or Board prior to December 15, 1961, may be continued without the need for renewal pursuant to Section 11-411 (Renewals), provided that the facts upon which the special permit was granted have not substantially changed.

All such authorizations or special permits requiring renewal shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 11-42 (Lapse of Authorization of Special Permit Granted by the City Planning Commission Pursuant to the 1961 Zoning Resolution) and 11-43 (Renewal of Authorization or Special Permit). However, the provisions of this Chapter shall apply to the renewal of any special permit or authorization for a public parking lot.

Any subsequent modifications to such authorizations or special permits that involve an increase in the number of off-street parking spaces provided shall only be permitted by the applicable special permit provisions of Section 16-35.
