§ 128-62 Special Permit for Buildings in R7-3 Districts

ZR § 128-62

For any zoning lot in an R7-3 District, the City Planning Commission may permit modification of bulk regulations, except floor area ratio provisions, and modification of mandatory improvements, provided the Commission shall find that such modifications:

(a)will aid in achieving the general purposes and intent of the Special District;

(b)will enhance the distribution of bulk on the zoning lot;

(c)will not unduly obstruct access to light and air from surrounding streets and properties; and

(d)will result in a better site plan and urban design relationship with adjacent streets, open areas, and the surrounding neighborhood.

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