ZR § 98-23
That portion of the zoning lot that lies directly beneath the High Line shall be exempt from lot coverage requirements below the level of the High Line bed.

However, at or above the level of the High Line bed, lot coverage requirements shall apply to the entire zoning lot.
Within Subarea J, any easement volumes and improvements located within such volumes dedicated or granted to the City in accordance with the provisions of Appendix F of this Chapter in connection with an increase in the basic maximum floor area ratio of a zoning lot, pursuant to Section 98-25, shall not be considered floor area.
