(3) a New York City Planning Commission special permit for Large Scale General Development pursuant to ZR Section 74-74 to waive regulations relating to height, street wall location, and minimum distance between buildings on the same zoning lot (Proposed Actions).

The Proposed Actions would enable the construction of a new 14-story 212,919 gross square foot mixed use building with approximately 192,519 gross square foot of residential space (containing 292 Affordable Independent Residences for Seniors [AIRS] units, with 63 accessory parking spaces in the cellar level, in place of the existing 95-space surface parking lot on the eastern portion of the Project Area.
