§ 115-13 Streetscape Regulations

ZR § 115-13

The underlying ground floor level streetscape provisions set forth in Section 32-30 (STREETSCAPE REGULATIONS), inclusive, shall apply, except that ground floor level street frontages along streets, or portions thereof, designated on Map 2 (Streetscape Regulations) in Appendix A of this Chapter shall be considered Tier C street frontages, and all other frontages in applicable Commercial Districts or in M1 Districts paired with a Residence District shall be considered Tier B street frontages.

However, for the portion of a zoning lot fronting along 164th Street between Jamaica Avenue and Archer Avenue, or fronting along 92nd Road between 164th Street and 165th Street, the streetscape provisions of this Section and of Section 32-30 (STREETSCAPE REGULATIONS) need not apply.
