No. 2182 (L.U. No. 1279) Pursuant to Sections 197-d and 200 of the City Charter and on the basis of the Decision and Application the Council approves the Decision; and The Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, effective as of December 15, 1961, and as subsequently amended, is further amended as follows: Matter in Greytone is new, to be added; Matter in Strikeout is old, to be deleted; Matter within # # is defined in Section 12-10; and * * * indicates where unchanged text would appear in the Zoning Resolution. * * * 96-102 Lot coverage regulations For any #development# or #enlargement# within the Preservation Area, the #open space# requirement of Article II, Chapter 3, and the #lot coverage# provisions of Section 24-11, are not applicable. The #lot coverage# provisions of this Section apply to any #development# or #enlargement#. For the purposes of determining lot coverage, any part of a building that is listed as a permitted obstruction in open space or in a rear yard shall not be included in lot coverage. For #zoning lots# or portions thereof located within 100 feet of the #street line# of a #wide street# the maximum #lot coverage# shall not exceed 70 percent. For all #zoning lots# or portions thereof located more than 100 feet from the #street line# of a #wide street#, the maximum #lot coverage# shall not exceed 60 percent. Any new #development# containing #residential uses# shall provide a minimum of 20 percent of the #lot area# of a #zoning lot# as usable, landscaped open area for the #residential# tenants. The City Planning Commission, by special permit, may permit up to 100% lot coverage for a development or enlargement on a corner lot. As a condition for such modification, the Commission shall find that the development or enlargement permits adequate access to light and air to surrounding streets and properties and results in a better relationship to adjacent streets, developments and open areas than would be possible without such lot coverage. The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to protect and minimize any adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area. Page 3 of 3 N 010696 ZRM Reso. No. 2182 (L.U.
