New York City Zoning Resolution Section 117-22: Special Floor Area Regulations.

In plain English

The usual floor-area limits (FAR = floor-area ratio, total floor space allowed compared to lot size) for the underlying zoning district still apply here. But this special-district section changes some of them. Where it sets a different limit, that special rule overrides the default. Otherwise, the standard district floor-area caps stay in force.

Verbatim section text

Section 117-22 - Special Floor Area Regulations

The floor area regulations of the underlying districts shall apply, except as modified by the provisions of this Section, inclusive.
