- In R8 Districts, other than R8A Districts, in Western Subarea C2, including Commercial Districts mapped within such R8 Districts, the provisions of Sections 96-101 (Floor area regulations) and 96-102 (Height and setback regulations) shall apply.
- In R8A Districts in Western Subarea C2, including Commercial Districts mapped within such R8A Districts, electrical utility substations, listed under Use Group IV(B), operated for public utility purposes, existing on June 14, 2011, and located wholly or partially within the portion of Western Subarea C2 east of Eleventh Avenue, shall be considered conforming uses that are subject to the bulk regulations of the underlying district and the use regulations of an M1-5 District. Any change of use on a zoning lot occupied by any such electrical utility substation shall be permitted only pursuant to the regulations of the underlying district. In the event any such electrical utility substation is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by any means, including demolition, the provisions of Section 54-40 (DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION IN NON-COMPLYING BUILDINGS) shall not apply and such electrical utility substation may be reconstructed, provided that such reconstruction shall not create a new non-compliance nor increase the degree of non-compliance with the applicable bulk regulations. However, in the event there is a complete cessation of use of the zoning lot as an electrical utility substation for a continuous period of five years, such electrical utility substation shall no longer be considered a conforming use on such zoning lot.
