ZR § 88-331
For zoning lots in Subdistrict A of this Chapter, the regulations in Section 88-33 applicable to wide streets shall apply, except where modified or superseded by the regulations of this Section.
Maximum building heightThe maximum height of buildings shall be 430 feet.
Lot coverageThe minimum lot coverage of the portion of a building above the maximum base height shall be 30 percent of the lot area of the zoning lot. However, any story located within the highest 15 percent of the portion of such building above the maximum base height may cover less than 30 percent of the lot area of a zoning lot provided that the gross area of any such story does not exceed 90 percent of the gross area of that story directly located below the highest 15 percent of such portion of the building.
Modification of bulk regulations for zoning lots bounding a public parkIn the case of a zoning lot line abutting the boundary of a public park, such zoning lot line shall be considered to be a wide street line for the purposes of applying all bulk regulations of this Resolution, except for street wall regulations. For the purposes of applying street wall regulations in the case of a zoning lot line abutting the boundary of a public park, a line no more than 45 feet west of and parallel to the nearest boundary line of the public park shall be considered a wide street line.
Street wall locationThe street wall provisions of this Chapter shall apply, except that, for the portion of a building bounding a public park, the street wall shall be located at the street line for at least 50 percent of the frontage bounding the public park and shall rise to the minimum base height, but not higher than the maximum base height.
