§ 74-191 Micro-distribution facilities

ZR § 74-191

In C1 or C2 Districts in the Borough of Manhattan, in other C1 or C2 Districts that are not select commercial overlays, and in C4 through C7 Districts, C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 and C7 Districts, for micro-distribution facilities listed under Use Group IX(A), as set forth in Sections 32-19 (Use Group IX – Storage), the City Planning Commission may permit modifications to a size limitation, denoted in the Use Group table with an “S”, beyond any size limitation established by special permit of the Board of Standards and Appeals pursuant to Section 73-19.

In order to grant such permit, the Commission shall find that:

such use will not impair the character or the future use or development of the surrounding area;

such use will not create or contribute to serious traffic congestion and will not unduly inhibit surface traffic and pedestrian flow; and

the modifications are necessary to support the operation of such use.

The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area
