New York City Zoning Resolution Section 142-20: SPECIAL FLOOR AREA REGULATIONS.
In plain English
In this special district, the normal floor-area rules — FAR, or floor-area ratio, which caps how much building you can fit on a lot — get changed.
This section is the gateway: it says the standard limits are replaced or adjusted by the special rules that follow.
So don't rely on the base zoning's size limits here; check the modifications below to know how big you can build.
