Within the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District the City Planning Commission may, by special permit, allow modifications to the bulk regulations of this Chapter and the underlying bulk regulations, except floor area regulations, provided the Commission finds that:

(a)        such modifications further the needs and objectives of the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District;

(b)        such bulk modifications will result in a better site plan and will benefit the occupants and users of the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District and the residents of the surrounding neighborhood;

(c)        such bulk modifications will permit adequate access to light and air to surrounding public access areas, streets and properties; and

(d)        such distribution of bulk will not unduly increase the bulk of buildings in the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District to the detriment of the occupants or users of buildings in the Special Brooklyn Navy Yard District or on nearby blocks.

The Commission may impose appropriate conditions and safeguards to assure that such modifications will not adversely affect the surrounding area.
