New York City Zoning Resolution Section 104-16: Modification of Article VII, Chapter 4 (Special Permits by the City Planning Commission).
In plain English
In the Special Manhattanville Mixed Use District in West Harlem, the usual special-permit hurdle for building a laboratory doesn't apply. Normally, putting a lab somewhere requires a discretionary approval from the City Planning Commission. Here, that requirement is waived — labs can go in without that extra permit step. Reflects the neighborhood's role as a Columbia University research and academic hub.
