Special Use Regulations
New York City Zoning Resolution
New York City Zoning Resolution Section 116-61: Special Use Regulations.
Sets use rules for this waterfront area. The general waterfront use rules apply, with one loosening: in buildings that existed before July 20, 2017, "waterfront-enhancing" uses (things like recreation, retail, and culture that activate the shoreline) can go anywhere in the building — not just at certain levels — as long as no commercial space sits above an apartment.
Section 116-61 - Special Use Regulations
The use regulations of Article VI, Chapter 2 (Special Regulations Applying in the Waterfront Area) shall apply, except that the provisions of Section 62-29 (Special Use Regulations for Medium- and High-Density Districts) shall be modified to allow uses listed in Section 62-212 (Waterfront-Enhancing (WE) uses) to be located anywhere within a building existing prior to July 20, 2017, provided that no commercial floor area is located above a dwelling unit .
