For developments within Parcels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, upland connections shall be provided as specified on Map 6 (Waterfront Access Plan: Public Access Areas) in the Appendix to this Chapter. The applicable provisions of Section 62-56 (Requirements for Upland Connections) and Section 62-60 (DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR WATERFRONT PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS), inclusive, shall apply except as modified in this Section.

1. Flexible location zone
   
   For developments on Parcels 1, 2 and 3, a single upland connection shall be provided pursuant to the following provisions:
   1. If Parcel 1 develops before Parcels 2 or 3, a Type 1 upland connection shall be provided with a minimum width of 20 feet. The requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of Section 62-561 (Types of upland connections) shall not apply and the minimum planting area requirements shall be reduced to 25 percent. Where such upland connection is provided without a 20-foot-wide open area, an average maintained level of illumination of not less than one and a half horizontal foot candles (lumens per foot) shall be provided throughout all walkable areas;
   2. If Parcels 1 and 2 are developed jointly before Parcel 3, an upland connection shall be provided on Parcels 1 and 2, along their southerly boundary, pursuant to the requirements of Sections 62-561 and 62-64 (Design Requirements for Upland Connections). The 20-foot-wide open area required pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Section 62-561 shall be provided on Parcel 3, along its northerly boundary, at the time Parcel 3 develops. In any event, the required open area shall abut such required upland connection;
   3. If Parcel 3 develops before Parcels 1 or 2:
      1. where a development is comprised predominantly of uses other than those listed under Use Groups IV(B), IX or X, an upland connection shall be provided on Parcel 3 pursuant to the requirements of Section 62-561 and Section 62-64. If such upland connection is provided along the northerly boundary of such Parcel, the required 20-foot-wide open area pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Section 62-561 shall be satisfied on Parcels 1 and 2, along the southerly boundary, at the time these parcels develop. However, in any event, the required open area shall abut such required upland connection;
      2. where a development is comprised predominantly of uses listed under Use Groups IV(B), IX or X, a Type 1 upland connection shall be provided with a minimum width of 20 feet. The requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of Section 62-561 shall not apply and the minimum planting area requirements shall be reduced to 25 percent; or
   4. If Parcels 2 and 3 are developed jointly before Parcel 1, an upland connection shall be provided pursuant to the requirements of Sections 62-561 and 62-64.

For any other sequencing or combination of developments, a single upland connection shall be provided pursuant to the provisions of Sections 62-561 and 62-64 within the flexible location zone on Map 6.

1. Minimum standards for interim condition
   
   Where an upland connection is designated on two or more parcels and only a portion of such upland connection can be constructed pursuant to a specific certification, such portion of the upland connection may be provided independently to satisfy the requirements of Section 62-56. Where the New York City Fire Department determines that such requirements conflict with the provision of unobstructed width for fire apparatus access roads pursuant to the New York City Fire Code, the design requirements of Section 62-60 shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to accommodate such fire apparatus access roads requirements. However, all interim conditions shall meet the following requirements:
   1. provide public access from the first upland street to the shore public walkway; and
   2. for every tree pit required pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of Section 62-64 (Planting) that is not provided, a moveable planter shall be provided.

Such interim condition shall be certified pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of Section 127-542 (Supplemental provisions) and Section 127-61 (Certification for Interim Grading Conditions).
